Sand
Crikey! My Kneecaps! Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

So stay the fuck away from me

These gross beings with bodies of lies
And venom bound to their existance

Light exludes you, light eludes you [x2]

Confounded by the simplest task

A fractured comprehension
Confounded by the simple task
Grow yourself a beard

Killing quialities
Completely characterless [x2]

Sand, sand
Buried by the grits
And covered by this wasteland
Sand washed between my fingers
With your heart in my hand

A deathly breath across this desert sky
With your heart in my hand
A deathly breath across this desert sky [x2]
With your heart in my hand

More fires in the world than stars in the sky
Sand washed between my fingers
With your heart in my hand

So stay the fuck away from me
Stay the fuck away from me
Stay away

Sand [x4]

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Sand" by Crikey! My Kneecaps! seem to be aimed at warning the listeners about the dangers of being around people who are deceptive and have malicious intent. The opening lines of the song, "So stay the fuck away from me, these gross beings with bodies of lies and venom bound to their existence," comes across as a clear indication that the songwriter wants no association with anyone who is dishonest and two-faced.

The line, "Light eludes you," further reinforces the idea that these people continue to walk in darkness, lacking direction and understanding. The repetition of this line throughout the song seems to be used as a metaphor for the absence of goodness and integrity in the people being referred to.

The singer then goes on to criticize the simplistic nature of these people with lines like "Confounded by the simplest task, a fractured comprehension" and "Grow yourself a beard". He highlights how these people have no distinctive qualities and hence are as good as dead for having no notable aspects of character.

The recurring theme of sand throughout the song serves as a symbol of how the person being referred to is sinking deeper and deeper into a wasteland of their own making. The sandy desert and grits emphasize how lifeless and barren it is to be around people who are embodied with lies.

Overall, the lyrics of "Sand" skillfully paint a picture of how easy it is to get lost and buried under the suffocating weight of deceitful, misguided, and uncaring people.
