Sand
Pola Rise Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

ou're the air
Could you explain me this life?
Alive or dead
We're gonna pass like sand
Did you forget all those lullabies sung by
heart?
Sing me to sleep, take me to the past.
One more time

We'll never change
Losers' parade
(You) turned into sand, hourglass will not stop
I beg you to stay here for a while.
I beg you to stay here for a little while
I'm so scared.
Did I forget your eyes?
Empty bed,
Clock doesn't wait for us
Did you forget all the perfect time, by my side?
Calm all my feras, take me to the past
One more time
We'll never change
Losers parade
You turned into sand, hourglass won't give up

I beg you to stay here for a while
I beg you to stay here for a little while

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Pola Rise's song "Sand" contain themes of mortality, nostalgia, and fear of loss. The opening lines, "You're the air / Could you explain me this life?", suggest a sense of dependence on another person for understanding the meaning of existence. The metaphor of passing like sand emphasizes the fleeting nature of human life and implies a desire to hold on to memories and experiences before they slip away.

There is a sense of longing for the past, as evidenced by the repeated phrases "take me to the past" and "one more time." The singer calls upon the memory of "lullabies sung by heart" and "perfect time by my side" to comfort their fears and loneliness. However, the repeated refrain of "we'll never change / losers parade" suggests a melancholic resignation to the inevitability of mortality and the human tendency towards self-defeat.

Overall, the lyrics of "Sand" present a bittersweet and introspective reflection on the fleeting nature of human existence and the longing for a past that can never be fully reclaimed.
