Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My heart is cold, my soul is free
I am a stranger in your land
A wandering man, call me sand
Oh sir, my fire is very small
It will not warm thy heart at all
But thee may take me by the hand
Young woman, share your fire with me
My heart is cold, my soul is free
I am a stranger in your land
Wandering, call me sand
At night when stars light up my sky
Oh sir, i dream my fire is high
Oh, taste these lips sir if you can
Wandering man, i'll call thee sand
Oh sir, my fire is burning high
If thee should stop sir, i would die
The shooting star has crossed my land
Wandering man, she whispered... Sand (sand)
Young woman shared her fire with me
Now warms herself with memories
I was a stranger in her land
A wandering man, she called me sand
He was a stranger in my land
A wandering man
She called me
Sand
The lyrics of the song Sand by OP8 which features Lisa Germano are simple and poetic, but they convey deeper meanings about human connection and the fleeting nature of relationships. The song portrays a conversation between a wandering man and a young woman who share an intimate moment around a fire. The man is seeking warmth and companionship, and the woman is willing to offer her fire to him. However, she is also aware of the transience of their encounter, and the fragile nature of their connection.
The woman's words are full of ambiguity and suggest that she is not entirely committed to the man's presence. She calls him "sand," a symbol of something fleeting and impermanent. Her fire is small, and she warns that it will not warm his heart, yet she is willing to hold him and share a moment of closeness. The man, on the other hand, is more direct in his expression of need. He asks for her fire and confesses his coldness and wandering nature. The interaction between the two of them is intense but also holds a note of sadness, as they both acknowledge the temporary nature of their connection.
Overall, the song Sand explores themes of loneliness, longing, and the desire for human connection. It showcases deep emotions through its simple, poetic lyrics and haunting melody.
