Sands of Time
Pandora Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I walk in silence
Below a rainy sky
I find my self
in a pantomime
'Cause I've been trying
hard to make you speak
In a monolouge
since you're out of reach

We're dyin' flames of yesterday
I hope you'll find some other ways
'cause

CHORUS:

I'll be loosing mine
in the sand of time
I'm a fool for yesterday
When I feel like wanna say
I'll be holding you
thru the heat and thru the cold
Could you ever feel the same

And I remember
the way we used to smile
But now the bells
have begun to chime
Can I survive it
breathing lonely air
I know I'm free
but do I dare

We're dyin' flames of yesterday
I hope you'll find some other ways
'cause





CHORUS

Overall Meaning

The song "Sands of Time" by Pandora depicts the feeling of being trapped in the past and unable to move forward from a past relationship. The singer walks in silence beneath a rainy sky, trapped in a pantomime of trying to communicate with their former partner who is out of reach. The singer is a "fool for yesterday" and longs to hold their former partner, but they know they must let go and move on. The song expresses the conflicting emotions of wanting to hold on to the past while also acknowledging the need to let go.


The chorus repeats the metaphor of time being like sand slipping through our fingers, and the singer laments the impending loss of their own time while they are trapped in the memories of the past. The use of the word "dyin' flames" emphasizes the fact that the relationship has already ended and is slowly fading away, leaving the singer with a feeling of emptiness and loss. Overall, the song conveys the universal struggle of letting go of the past and finding the strength to move forward.
