Sandcastles
Sever Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How come I'm cold right beside you
I know I need a tragedy to find the right words
But I'm not sure if they still have any value
Hold your hands together to keep them warm
Cause I won't do it anymore, I've lost myself under your waves
While I was building my sandcastles, thinking I had a choice
Ahead
So tell me will I ever change
Tell me will I ever learn
The ghost of you is chasing me
Down the abyss I was thrown in
Again, I've pushed myself off the edge
So will I ever learn
And will I ever change
I've built a yellow-brick road
Now I stay on the side of it
The time has come to stop lying to myself
You've built a yellow-brick road
Just to watch me trip over it
And now it seems so unreal
Now when it's over, I realize how hollow I really am
It took me too much time to confess
While I was building my sandcastles, thinking I had a choice
You knew there's only emptiness
Ahead
There's only emptiness ahead
Again I've pushed myself off the edge
And again I've pushed myself of the edge
Tell me will I ever change
Tell me will I ever learn
The ghost of you is chasing me
Down the abyss I was thrown in
Again, I've pushed myself off the edge
So will I ever learn
And will I ever change
Will I ever change
Will I ever change
The song "Sandcastles" by Sever is a poignant reflection on the singer's relationship, which appears to be not only loveless but also damaging. The city doesn't feel like home, and the singer feels cold even when they are supposed to be close to their loved one. The singer admits to needing tragedy to be able to find the right words, but they are unsure if these words still have any value. It is obvious from these lines that the singer sees their relationship as a tragedy, and that they feel emotionally blocked from being able to express themselves fully.
The chorus of the song repeats the question, "Will I ever change?" while the verses recount the singer's attempts at building a life with their love, only to realize that their experience has been empty all along. The juxtaposition between building sandcastles in the verse and building a yellow-brick road in the chorus is a clever metaphor for the singer's growing realization that their relationship was built on an illusion. The sandcastle represents a fleeting moment of joy and beauty, while the yellow-brick road suggests a more substantial and enduring path. The singer builds both in their search for happiness, but neither provides a sustainable foundation.
Overall, "Sandcastles" is a song about the human struggle to find meaning and connection in a world that can be cruel and unforgiving. The singer is struggling to retain their sense of self and to find a way forward, but they are haunted by the ghost of their love, which seems to have left them with only emptiness. The song is a moving meditation on the human condition and the ways in which we can be blindsided by our own illusions.
Line by Line Meaning
This concrete city doesn't feel like home
The urban landscape doesn't provide me with a sense of belonging
How come I'm cold right beside you
I feel disconnected from you even though we are physically close
I know I need a tragedy to find the right words
I feel like I need something drastic to happen in order to express myself effectively
But I'm not sure if they still have any value
I worry that even if I find the right words, they won't have any impact or meaning
Hold your hands together to keep them warm
I used to provide comfort for you, but I can't do it anymore
Cause I won't do it anymore, I've lost myself under your waves
I can't continue to be there for you because you've consumed me and taken away my own sense of self
While I was building my sandcastles, thinking I had a choice
I thought I had control over my life and future, but I now realize it was an illusion
You knew there's only emptiness ahead
You were aware that the future holds nothing but emptiness and despair
So tell me will I ever change
I question whether I am capable of changing for the better
Tell me will I ever learn
I wonder if I can ever gain wisdom from my mistakes
The ghost of you is chasing me
I am haunted by the memories and influence of you
Down the abyss I was thrown in
I am thrown into a dark, hopeless place
Again, I've pushed myself off the edge
I have once again fallen into a state of despair or isolation
I've built a yellow-brick road
I have tried to pave a path to a better future for myself
Now I stay on the side of it
I am too afraid to continue forward on that path, and now I am stuck on the sidelines
The time has come to stop lying to myself
It is time for me to face the truth and reality of my situation
You've built a yellow-brick road
You have lured me down a path filled with false hope and illusions
Just to watch me trip over it
You take pleasure in my failures and missteps
And now it seems so unreal
Everything has become surreal, possibly due to the dichotomy between appearance and reality
Now when it's over, I realize how hollow I really am
Now that this journey or relationship has ended, I understand the extent of my emotional emptiness
It took me too much time to confess
It took me too long to acknowledge and express my true feelings
There's only emptiness ahead
I see nothing but a bleak void in the future
Will I ever change
Once again, I question if I am capable of personal growth and positive transformation
Will I ever change
I repeat this question, emphasizing my doubtful view of my own potential for change

This band is so incredibly underrated. They deserve so much more views compared to other bands that don't even sound half as good. The vocalist is absolutely incredible and one of the best and most unique in the scene imo.
