Sand
Razor Inc. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There is a hole in my chest
I filled it with pure sadness
And buried the heart in the sand
There′s no turning back
I quenched my thirst with its blood
I shed my tears to the hole inside
And stared at the desert's endless sky
The sky was blue but now it's grey
I shake within, in a ruthless fray
So I buried my heart in boiling sand...
This suffering, I tried to end
The heart... Kept... Pounding...
In Razor Inc.'s song "Sand," the lyrics capture the pain, sorrow and emptiness the singer feels after losing a love. The opening lines "My heart is in my hands, There is a hole in my chest" give the impression that the singer is heartbroken and is unable to cope with the pain. The lines that follow, "I filled it with pure sadness, And buried the heart in the sand" is an indication of the despair the singer has reached, choosing to bury their heart and emotions rather than dealing with them.
The singer feels trapped and powerless to right the wrongs of the past. They feel like the action they took, which was to bury their heart, is irreversible. The line, "There's no turning back," suggests there is no going back to the way things were before, no matter what they do. The singer resorts to drinking and mourning their loss, "I quenched my thirst with its blood, 'Til it's dry and colourless." They are consumed by their sadness and are unable to move on.
The last verse, "The sky was blue but now it's grey, I shake within, in a ruthless fray, So I buried my heart in boiling sand...This suffering, I tried to end, The heart... Kept... Pounding..." sums up the feelings of the singer. They are engulfed in their sorrow and pain, unable to find a way out. Even though they buried their heart in the sand, it continues to beat, and they cannot stop the emotions from flooding back.
