Sand
G-Voz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the focus of attention as the center of the mass
I was everywhere at once and I was loved by everyone
My kingdom everlasting and on earth my will was done
I walked unseen amongst them as the cure of all infection
And entered through the looking glass and passed without reflection
The key to all their dreams for I was near when they would sleep
To guard them from the evil in the night when loathsome creep
A sense of humor you must have
For everything you've done
Am I without purpose father?
Is this all just fun?
But in reality I'm nothing more than mortal sin
Through the power of temptation I am often giving in
Another grain of sand I sit before the beach of life
Sometimes it's paradise for me then cuts me like a knife
My days are more or less routine and dusk is much the same
It seems there are no winners only victims of this game
And life can be so cruel and lonesome seldom is it fair
A silly game of masquerade when people say they care
Maybe when I pass beyond and venture time and space
I'll find within a peace and happiness in my own place
A sense of humor you must have for everything you've done
Am I without purpose father? Is this all just fun?
I'm only twenty-six and know that life has just begun
I find I'm often hiding for I've nowhere left to run
I'm waiting for a revelation waiting for a clue
And waiting for direction for I know not what to do
In G-Voz's song "Sand," the lyrics explore the themes of power, omnipotence, and mortality. The opening lines describe the singer’s dream of being omnipotent, as they are the “keeper of the glass,” or the one with complete control over their surroundings. They are loved by everyone, have an everlasting kingdom, and walk amongst people without being seen. They are the cure for all infection and enter through the looking glass without leaving a reflection, making them seem supernatural. They even guard people from the evil that comes when they sleep.
However, this is only a dream, and the singer is forced to face the reality that they are mortal and often give in to temptation, which is described as a “power.” The ocean is a metaphor for life, and they are merely a “grain of sand” on the beach of life. Sometimes, life is “paradise,” and other times, it “cuts like a knife.” They describe life as a game, with no winners, only victims. They question their purpose in life and wonder if it's fun for those in control. They express a sense of confusion as they await a revelation or direction, as life seems meaningless.
The song concludes with a hopeful tone, with the singer imagining finding peace and happiness beyond their current existence, where waiting for revelation will no longer be necessary. The lyrics imply that while life can be cruel and lonesome, the singer still holds hope for happiness and finding their purpose.
