Lake
Heads or Heads Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Time slips through my hands
Sand falls in a glass
Years happen so fast
I dwell on the past
But you are focused in view
Today in a bathing suit
Never left her and you
Mop on the floor
Til it's heavy to walk
All the bad that you think
It would be on her thoughts
And it falls on your feet
And it wakes me up
I can't help all the lies
And it adds any faults over
Paths seen from up high
Dreams I can't deny
You and I have
No time to waste
When there's so much left to see
Everything I want
Is sitting in front of me
Taking up space
In the picture of life
I have made for myself
With you by my side
All the time
Beautiful and divine
What else can I say
I say
I say
Floating on water
I have a feeling I won't forget this moment




So forget everything you know
Let it all be free

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Heads or Heads's song "Lake" reflect on the concept of time and how it seems to slip away quickly. The first few lines set up the imagery of time slipping through one's hands, much like sand falling in a glass. The singer seems to be dwelling on the past, but they are reminded to live in the present moment with their partner, who is focused on them in a bathing suit. The line, "Never left her and you," shows the singer's commitment to their partner and their relationship.


As the song continues, the singer reflects on the weight of negative thoughts and how they can affect a relationship. "All the bad that you think It would be on her thoughts," suggests that the singer is aware of the impact their negativity could have on their partner. However, they are also aware that their partner's love and presence wake them up to the reality of their faults, which they cannot help but acknowledge. Despite this, the song has an overall positive and uplifting tone, with the refrain repeating that the singer and their partner have no time to waste and want to cherish their time together.
