Sandman
Kin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A few violet viols all for you
Waiting for the airoplane
To touch down someday
Very soon
I am to abandon
My playground
Very soon
I'll kiss you again
Very soon
I am to bomb my solitude
Very soon
I will return to you
Gave me every color of the riversand
(sandman)
Told me everything i had to know
(i will return to you)
Let me hear the music of the wonderland
(sandman)
But now i really have to go
Gave me every moment of the silent night
(sandman)
Told me where the roses where to grow
(i will return to you)
Let me feel the glory from the golden light
But now i really have to go
Souvenirs
A bluefish in a bowl
All for you
Waiting for the boat
To reach harbour someday
Very soon
I am to abandon
My playground
Very soon
I'll kiss you again
Very soon
I am to bomb my solitude
Very soon
I will return to you
Gave me every color of the riversand
(sandman)
Told me everything i had to know
(i will return to you)
Let me hear the music of the wonderland
(sandman)
But now i really have to go
Gave me every moment of the silent night
(sandman)
Told me where the roses where to grow
(i will return to you)
Let me feel the glory from the golden light
But now i really have to go
I really have to go
Fly me home 3x
Yeah yeah yeah
Gave me every moment of the silent night
(sandman)
Told me where the roses where to grow
(i will return to you)
Let me feel the glory from the golden light
But now i really have to go
I will return to you
The lyrics to Kin's song, Sandman, are full of symbolism and metaphorical meaning. The singer of the song is bidding farewell to their current life, represented by their playground or solitude, and embarking on a journey symbolized by waiting for the airplane or boat to arrive. There are gifts for a loved one waiting to be given, represented by fruit, violet viols, and a bluefish in a bowl. Despite the impending separation, there is a promise of reunion with the loved one, as the singer promises to kiss them again and return to them.
The Sandman himself is a recurring figure throughout the song, giving the singer knowledge and experiences that they can take with them on their journey. He represents a kind of mentor or guide, helping the singer navigate their inner world and find meaning in their experiences. The riversand, wonderland, and silent night all represent the various aspects of the singer's inner world that the Sandman has helped them explore.
Overall, Sandman is a song about embarking on a new journey in life, with the help of a guide who provides insight and guidance along the way. The gifts waiting for the loved one symbolize the hope that they will be able to share in this journey together, despite the fact that it may take them physically apart for a time.

Voltei hoje aqui nem sei porquê. Lembrei-me que a música existia. Não ouvia há bastante tempo. Deu arrepios!
