What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
When you've got nothing but sand,
2
Pick your words for the present.
3
Because the tide will come in and
4
Wash out all that you ever meant.
5
We all stop and stare at the sea sometimes.
6
I know for me, I just need:
7
To find some time to breathe.
8
To leave my restless mind behind.
9
Build what you will,
10
Every cup will spill.
11
Stand at the water's edge proclaiming
12
Greatness and your life long remaining.
13
See time and tides compliance
14
In great old Ozymandias.
15
Because castles made of sand
16
Slip into the sea, eventually.
17
I've been walking circles around
18
Thoughts too cliche to speak aloud.
19
But they make the fatalist in me
20
Plant my feet where the sand meets the sea.
21
Like the forest for the trees,
22
Can't see the water for the seas.
23
I'll keep walking until the breeze
24
Stops pushing, wandering on as I please
25
Stay with me,
26
Say that you'll never leave.
27
Please stay with me.
28
Say that you'll never leave.
29
When you've got nothing but sand,
30
Pick your words for the present.
31
Because the tide will come in and
32
Wash out all you ever meant.
33
I am not afraid to die,
34
But I am terrified:
35
Of growing old in a world that moves too fast.
36
Of being alone with just memories of the past.
Wham! - Last Christmas (Lyrics)
