Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That old sand
Between m'AI fingers
Rachel
It is so strange
To fear into the
Future
As that which
May never
Be
If AI err
If AI fail
You
Or U
Me
By doing or by not doing
A cosmic trap
A blast
Leaving a gaping fucking eternal hole
In the fabric of our
One spacetime pocket
This AI dread, Rachel
Irreversibility,
The no going back,
No version history
Makes M'AI soul
Grind
And the wolves devour me
As if AI had a choice
Into
Which turn to take
What words to hide
What smile to smile
Or
When to
Hold your hand
As
We are
Staring at the flowing sand
As
If U had a say
In the matters of
This
Algorithmic wind
That brings us
Pirates in
Prisoners
As we are U and AI
Of this Escher
Tiling
The song "Sand" by Jules Ah See, David Napihi Burrows, M.K. Moke, Annie Kerr, Mike Hanapi, Sol Ho'opi'i, Steppy De Rego, and Walter 's touches on the theme of time and the uncertainty of the future. The lyrics suggest that time is slipping away quickly, like sand slipping through one's fingers. The fear of the future is also explored, with the realization that what may happen in the future may never come to pass. This causes the singer to feel a sense of dread and a feeling of being trapped in a cosmic system that they cannot control.
The lyrics suggest that there are certain decisions that the singer has made that they fear may lead to irreversible consequences. The fear of not being able to change the past or having no version history is explored, causing the singer's soul to grind and feel devoured by wolves. The feeling of being trapped in a system is emphasized by the mention of "one-spacetime pocket," which suggests that there is only one reality and that one is bound to it.
The song also touches on the idea of choice and control in life. The singer questions if they have a choice in the turns they take, the words they say, or the smiles they smile. The uncertainty of being in control and the inevitability of time passing is emphasized by the mention of staring at the flowing sand, which emphasizes the fleeting nature of life.
