Sands of Time
Bare Infinity Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Breathe
Close your eyes
And you're part of the universe
The stars know and they all witness the centuries
Seas, rivers, and trees they are all gathered in a draw
We're not what we see
Not only only matter, we're one within
One tendril falling from the eye
Of a pure hearted child one day can save our lives

We came from the seas
We sailed through the skies
To find out the truth and the secrets of life
The universe knows the truth is sublime
It's written in the stars and the sands of time

You think you are all alone in the universe
But you're wrong
You're a grain in a sea of sand
Seas, rivers, and trees they are all gathered in a draw
One tendril falling from the eye
Of a pure hearted child
One day will save our lives

We came from the seas
We sailed through the skies
To find out the truth and the secrets of life
The universe knows the truth is sublime
It's written in the stars and the sands of time

We came from the seas
We sailed through the skies
To find out the truth and the secrets of life
The universe knows the truth is sublime
It's written in the stars and the sands of time

We came from the seas




We sailed through the skies
The universe knows the truth is sublime

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Bare Infinity's "Sands of Time" invite the listener to take a moment to breathe, close their eyes, and feel the interconnectedness of everything in the universe. The lines "We're not what we see / Not only matter, we're one within" suggest that there is more to the human experience than what is physical – that there is a spiritual or emotional component that connects us all. This theme is echoed later in the song when the lyrics say that "You think you are all alone in the universe / But you're wrong / You're a grain in a sea of sand," reminding the listener that they are part of a larger whole.


Throughout the song, there are references to exploring and discovering the secrets of life. The repeated phrase "We came from the seas / We sailed through the skies / To find out the truth and the secrets of life" suggests a sense of adventure or seeking, and the mention of the universe knowing "the truth is sublime / It's written in the stars and the sands of time" suggests that there is a cosmic or universal wisdom that can be uncovered.
