Architects
Building Dreams in the Sands of Time
Lyrics
Time drowns like a machine
Time is passing inexorably, akin to the relentless movement of a machine.
Caught between the tides
Feeling trapped or undecided, caught between conflicting forces represented as tides.
Its twisted anchors drift below
Complications or challenges lurking beneath the surface, like twisted anchors.
Pressed like the pins in a map
Feeling fixed or stuck in a specific location, analogous to pins on a map.
Dressed in single file
Ordered or arranged in a line, possibly referring to a structured or regimented existence.
Mark the places you won't go
Identifying and marking places one chooses to avoid or places that are challenging.
With your hands
Creating or building with one's hands.
Built with your hands slowly
Emphasizing a slow and deliberate construction process.
Through your hands we won't slip
Ensuring a secure grip or connection through the constructed work.
We are the architects
Identification with being creators or shapers of something significant.
We are the architects
Repetition for emphasis, underscoring the role of being architects.
Sunk in the sulphur and sand
Immersed in challenging and harsh conditions symbolized by sulfur and sand.
While they dream away
Contrast between the challenges faced and the dreams of others who are oblivious.
But watch this desert take them whole
Observing the inevitable consequences as difficulties consume others in a metaphorical desert.
Eyes cast down like a spell
A spellbinding or captivating gaze directed downward.
Struck by new design
Impacted by a novel or transformative experience.
So what's the view like from your cage
Questioning the perspective or experience of others who may be confined.
With your hands
Reiterating the act of creation through hands.
Built with your hands slowly
Emphasizing a gradual and careful construction process.
Through your hands we wont slip
Ensuring a secure connection or permanence through the constructed work.
We are the architects
Repetition emphasizing the identity as architects, suggesting strength and responsibility.
We are the architects
Reiteration for emphasis.
We hold down
Maintaining control or stability, symbolized by holding down.
