Sand
M. Grankov Lyrics

I build this castle of sand
I created an imaginary place to keep my sanity intact.

A place to me
A personal space for myself to feel not just alive, but at home.

A place for my sanity
A safe haven for my mental health to maintain it.

My cripple hands gave too much
Despite my limitations, I still continued to give it my all.

Building for me
Constructing my own world to feel in control of my surroundings.

And he breaks over me
However, it all shattered and fell apart on top of me.

And i can't hold this walls
I couldn't bear the weight of my own creation anymore.

Turning pieces
My life turned into fragmented pieces as I slowly fell apart.

It aches
The pain I felt became almost unbearable.

See it breaks
Witnessing the breakdown of my own mind and life became inevitable.

Turning into sand
Everything I once built and held on to was slowly slipping through my grasp.

(Aah)
An untranslatable exclamation that expresses emotion or emphasis.

I build this castle with grace
I created this imaginary world with elegance, and care.

But now is done
But now it's all gone.

Wind is carrying on
Life goes on, and new things happen outside of my own world.

But i stumble and fall
But I couldn't adjust to the outside world, and fell apart.

All breaks on me
Everything I had created, and what was left in my life were crashing down on me.

My own conceptions
The things that I thought I knew about life had to come to an end.

Come to a end
It's time to let go of my own illusions and move on.

When your Mind is miles away
When your thoughts and emotions are disconnected from your surroundings.

And your heart is in the dark
When your emotional state creates a sense of distance from lightness, happiness, and joy.

Thinking this may be the end
When you're convinced that it's all over, and hope seems impossible.

Nothing could save you now
When there are no other options left, and you think there is no hope.

Only thing you feel is pain
When your suffering feels overwhelming and is all you're aware of.

Nothing would heal you so
When you begin to believe that there is no cure for your suffering.

Take your life away from here
When the only possible solution to end pain seems like ending life.

Take this shot and let it go
A metaphorical request to release the burden of your pain and emotions.

Hold me steady arms
A plea to somebody else to offer their support.

Can I see through this
A rhetorical question about whether it's possible to move past the darkness.

TAKE AWAY FROM THIS PAIN
An insistence to be freed from current suffering.

I want to be free from
A strong desire to leave the pain and suffering behind.

AND I CAN'T HOLD THIS WALLS
I can no longer sustain the illusions I had created in my mind.

AND I CAN'T SEE IT THROUGH THIS
The darkness is overwhelming; you can't imagine a way out.
