LYRICS:
- new lyrics indicated by [] square brackets -


We were playing in the sand.
And you found a little band.
You said that you fell in love with it, hadn't gone as I planned.

When you had to bid adieu,
you said you'd never love anew.
I thought that I'd try to hold it and fall in love with it too.
You told me to buy a pony but all I wanted was you.


[I remember you that day.
I couldn't bear to look away.
I sat there entranced, entangled in every word that you'd say.]

[But every night must have a dawn.
And friend, these nights aren't very long.
And so when I finally blinked and I realized you were gone.
Instead of finding you, I went home to write you a song.]


[It was sorrowful and stark.
But it always seemed to miss the mark.
Every goddamn lyric seemed to be twisted, creepy and dark.]

[And once resentment settled down,
I thought I'd finally fucking settled on a sound.
But each and every melody that I heard would make my head pound.
Oh I can't seem to separate the confusing from the profound.]


[We were playing in the sand.
And I extended you a hand.
You said that you'd rather die than be seen with me as your man.]

[At least that's what I was convinced.
And the pain's resounded ever since.
But maybe it's simply that when I took my shot I missed.
You know what they say, at the end of the day indifference is bliss.]

    I only realized today that the background image here is from the official hidden in the sand music video and not, as I initially believed and have for the past like three months, a fish from SpongeBob.

    "Oh I can't seem to separate the confusing from the profound" As someone who regrets taking literature, I feel this
  • @ferret6130
    The way the song was calm at first, then goes 180 and doom music rises caught me offguard lol. This is why you're one of my favourite youtubers now

    Extending Hidden in the Sand, man is doing God's work.

    0:00 - when the song is calm, feels like a cover 0:39 - the feeling of remembering the past 1:18 - the song, everything builds up to here 1:57 - going back to where it started, but she broke up with you
  • im beginning to wonder if theres a chonny jash cinematic universe because "When I took my shot, I missed" seems to link to "Now listen to this, he shot and he missed" from the ruler of everything cover
  • @LockDown13
    The original felt like a father's loving memory of his daughter, this feels like a man falling apart after his lovely life was torn to shreds by his wife. Yeah this is great

    “oh I can’t seem to separate the confusing from the profound” as a poet - TRUE.
  • @flipdesert72450
    The melody of "I thought I'd finally fuckin settled on a sound." tickles my brain in the perfect way
  • @CrabulousYT
    This makes Want You Gone and Drifting Away sound like the happiest songs on planet earth.
  • @29485webp
    I'm fukcing sobbing. The part where you said somthing about blinking and them being gone made me feel somthing deep about my situation. Infact, this whole song makes me feel somthing deep down.
  • @notfurb1378
    0:40 the way that the audio gets more crisp and the borders expand until they’re out of frame is just 😚
  • @kennykennykenny._.
    i was thinking before i clicked on this "oh, usually these covers are more loud and fast, but this song is soft and slow, i wonder how this is going to turn out!" needless to say, i was not dissapointed
  • @Kingfisher-Inc.
    The fact that this song has multiple most played locations in its time bar that holds out for nearly a whole minute Is a testament to the nature of this song as a BANGER.
