Sand
Spoonfull/D-Mitch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's turning to dirt in her hands
She's found her place there in the sun
She doesn't need me or anyone
To tell her if she's right or if she's wrong
She's found her place in the sun
I tell her, things have changed
But she still sees, castles in the sand
Woo-woo-woo, woo-woo-woowoo
I'm watching the tide rolling in
Thinking about where we have been
As she's building castles in the sand
I don't want this to ever end
I'm picking up pieces from where I am
But it's turning to dirt in my hands
She can't say, it's over
And I can't say, it's over
Woo-woo-woo, woo-woo-woowoo
Woo-woo-woo, woo-woo-woowoo
Words like waves come crashing down
Those fragile walls crumble to the ground
She says, "why don't the good things ever last?"
I tell her lets just relive the past
So we hold our breath and jump right in
Our foolish hearts can't help but dive in
I'm sinking, under fast
She's sinking, under fast
Woo-woo-woo, woo-woo-woowoo
Woo-woo-woo, woo-woo-woowoo
Woo-woo-woo, woo-woo-woowoo
The lyrics to "Sand" by Spoonfull/D-Mitch describe a woman who is content building castles in the sand, despite the fact that they crumble to dirt in her hands. She has found her place in the sun and doesn't need anyone to tell her if she's doing the right thing. The singer of the song tells her that things have changed, but she still sees the beauty in the sand castles. He watches the tide roll in and reflects on their time together. He wishes they could stay in that moment forever, but he knows that they can't.
As the song continues, the singer realizes that both he and the woman are sinking under the weight of their feelings. Words come crashing down like waves, and the fragile walls they've built crumble to the ground. The woman wonders why good things never last, but the singer suggests that they try to relive the past. They hold their breath and jump back in, their foolish hearts unable to resist. But they both know they are sinking fast.
The lyrics of this song are somewhat melancholic, but also beautiful in their descriptions of the natural world, such as the tide and sand castles. The song suggests a desire to hold onto the past, even as it slips away, and acknowledges the power of emotions to pull us under.
