Sands of Time
Crossnail Lyrics

I can't believe that I
The singer is surprised by their own actions and emotions.

Could let it slip away
The singer regrets losing something valuable.

I was searching for myself drifting away
The singer was lost and uncertain about their identity.

I was casting shadows
The artist was projecting their own negative emotions onto others.

Of my empty shelf
The artist had nothing meaningful to offer or share with others.

Pulling me down
The singer's negative emotions were weighing them down.

Out of my senses
The singer was overwhelmed and losing control of their emotions.

I was burning inside
The artist was consumed by intense emotions.

Left you defenceless
The artist's actions affected someone else negatively.

There was nowhere to hide
The negative consequences of the artist's actions could not be avoided.

If only I could turn the sands of time
The singer wishes they could change the past.

I could carry on so long
The artist had been enduring a difficult situation for a long time.

I was blinded by the illusion staged for me
The singer was misled or deceived by someone or something.

I walked in the shadows on broken glass
The singer was navigating a dangerous, uncertain path.

Dragging me down
The singer's negative emotions were hindering their progress.

You were burning inside (I was burning inside)
The artist and someone else were both experiencing intense emotions.

If only I could turn the sands of time
The artist repeats their desire to change the past.

I would prove to you
The singer wants to show someone else something important.

There are two sides to every story
The singer acknowledges that there may be another perspective or explanation for what happened.

I was lost
The artist was uncertain and lacked direction.

Lost in yourself
The artist was struggling with their own emotions and thoughts.

All drenched in fear
The artist was overwhelmed by feelings of fear.

The beginning of the end
The singer realized that something important was coming to a close.

Out of my senses
The artist was no longer thinking clearly or rationally.

You were burning inside (I was burning inside)
The singer and someone else were both experiencing intense emotions.

Left me defenceless
The singer was negatively affected by someone else's actions.

There was nowhere to hide
The negative consequences of the singer's actions could not be avoided.

Out of my senses
The artist was overwhelmed and losing control of their emotions.

You were burning inside (I was burning inside)
The artist and someone else were both experiencing intense emotions.

Left me defenceless
The singer was negatively affected by someone else's actions.

There was nowhere to hide
The negative consequences of the singer's actions could not be avoided.
