Letter to the Sand
Spare Bricks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Look always at the same horizon
The light of the moon, covers me
And I feel like a rat in a cage
Wake up, stand up it's time to react my dear
And I know where I am
Hope one day we'll meet again
Wake up, stand up it's time to react my dearAnd I know where I am
Hope one day we'll meet again
I'm tired, I'm tired I'm tired of being at your commands
They don't know how it fells to be too far away from home
We suffer in the first line
What's the meaning of this war
Nobody knows why we gotta live side by side covered in blood
The dawn arrives too early on our souls
We don't know if we would see the sunset today we suffer in the first line
I have no news from too much time
I'm still here waiting for you
During our training we learnt to look
After brothers in arms
Like never before
I'm wondering how can I take care of you?
For ever and ever
And I even don't know if you're still alive
I have had, I have had, I have had enough
'Cause I'm feed up to listen you whining
About the bullshits you're saying 'cause we are suffering in the first line
And everyone asking to himself what's the meanining of this shitty life
I wish I would to be along a girl, a car, a beach, a whore, my friends, be stoned
To share one more time in this amazing life again
I have no news from too much time
I'm still here waiting for you
During our training we learnt to lookAfter brothers in arms
Like never before
I'm wondering how can I take care of you?
For ever and ever
And I even don't know if you're still alive
"Letter to the Sand" by Spare Bricks illustrates the experiences of a soldier in the midst of war. The lyrics showcase the soldier's isolation and lack of control, as they continually gaze at the same horizon while standing alone in the sand. The moon is their only companion, yet it still provides a sense of confinement, like they are a rat trapped in a cage. The soldier is tired of being at the commands of others and feels disconnected from those who are not experiencing the war firsthand. As the dawn rises, they are unsure if they will even see the sunset, making each day feel like a burden to bear.
The soldier's emotions are further revealed as they express their desire to take care of their fellow brothers in arms, unsure of whether they are even still alive. They long for the comfort of home, wishing they could share in the joy of life's simple pleasures, like being stoned with friends, or spending time with loved ones. The lyrics highlight the difficulty of being a soldier, forced to endure the hardship of war while feeling increasingly isolated from the world they left behind. Ultimately, the song is a poignant reminder of the need to consider the sacrifices made by those who serve in the military.
