Silent Sanctuary Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Para mapigilan ka
Tinatanong ko ang sarili
Kung san ako nagkamali
Di ko rin inakala
Na ika'y mag-iiba
O kay saya ko sa 'yong piling
Di ka ba nanghihinayang sa atin
Kailangan pa bang tapusin
Sandali lang
Wag mo munang
Sasabihing ayaw mo na
Di ba pwedeng
Pagusapan ang lahat ng ito
Kaya pala unti-unting lumalamig
Ang iyong mga halik
Di ko na maramdaman
Ang dati mong pag-ibig
Di ka ba nanghihinayang sa atin
Nagsawa na ba sa akin
Sandali lang
Wag mo munang
Sasabihing ayaw mo na
Di ba pwedeng
Pagusapan ang lahat ng ito
Di ko alam kung may nagawa akong kasalanan
Bigla ka lang nang-iwan ng walang dahilan
Walang dahilan
Sandali lang
Wag mo munang
Sasabihing ayaw mo na
Di ba pwedeng
Pagusapan ang lahat ng ito
Sandali lang
The song "Sandali Lang" by Silent Sanctuary is a heartbreaking narrative about a relationship that is falling apart. The song is a conversation between two people who are in a relationship that has gone sour. The singer is pleading with their partner, asking them not to break up with them just yet. The opening lines, "Wala na kong magagawa, para mapigilan ka / Tinatanong ko ang sarili, kung saan ako nagkamali," set up the tone of the song. The singer has realized that something has gone wrong, but they don't know what exactly they did to cause it. They are begging for forgiveness and hoping for a chance to make things right.
The song's chorus, "Sandali lang, wag mo munang sasabihing ayaw mo na / Di ba pwedeng pag-usapan ang lahat ng ito," is a plea for time to discuss their problems and find solutions. The singer still believes that their relationship can be salvaged, and they don't want to give up just yet. The lyrics, "Di ka ba nanghihinayang sa atin / Kailangan pa bang tapusin," show the desperation of the singer as they wonder if their partner even cares about their relationship anymore.
The song's bridge, "Di ko alam kung may nagawa akong kasalanan / Bigla ka lang nang-iwan ng walang dahilan / Walang dahilan / Sandali lang," is a moment of introspection for the singer. They are questioning their own actions and trying to understand why their partner is leaving them. The repetition of "Sandali lang" at the end of the song is a final plea for time, a last-ditch effort to hold on to the relationship.

Grabe yung Kanta na to bumabalik ako sa Days na super broken ako sa Ex ko, i forwarded it to him last 2009 after a month of our break up then na Archived ko na sya, i didn't know na nag reply pala sya dun di ko nabasa 2012 ko na sya naisip kamustahin at ipaalam na magkaka baby and kasal na ako, kaso dun ko lng nabasa ung reply nya "sobrang sakit nga ng kanta na shinare mo,sana di ka pa magpaligaw sa iba aantayin kita until maka grad tayo isasama kita sa church namen, and will continue our love story" .
When i read it my heart was crash and broken late na i already have a husband and soon to have a baby that time".
