about
*Quicksand is about becoming increasingly lost until you are in over your head and have no place to turn. While the music is upbeat and fun, the lyrics are a bit darker. Described as very catchy and easy to get stuck in your head, this song is one you do not want to miss.*
lyrics
[Verse]
In front of the mirror, circles under your eyes
You knew them then but now they’re in disguise
What you don’t know, what you didn’t know
Go to bed in the morning, wake up after noon
The ghosts of the night always come back to you
And they know, what you didn’t know
[Chorus]
It’s over your head now, there’s no escape
Can’t walk away now, you dug your grave
You can’t change the things you’ve already done
No matter how hard you grip that gun
What happened to you, once the golden son
Threw it all away for a little fun
It’s Quicksand (x4)
[Verse]
Backed up in a corner telling stupid lies
A dying star falling out the sky
What a show, what a show
Once big, red, burning, burning bright
Brighter than the others, lit up the night
But now you’re sinking, sinking deeper
[Chorus]
It’s over your head now, there’s no escape
Can’t walk away now, you dug your grave
You can’t change the things you’ve already done
No matter how hard you grip that gun
What happened to you, once the golden son
Threw it all away for a little fun
It’s Quicksand, Quicksand
[Violin Solo]
[Chorus]
It’s over your head now, there’s no escape
Can’t walk away now, you dug your grave
You can’t change the things you’ve already done
No matter how hard you grip that gun
What happened to you, once the golden son
Threw it all away for a little fun
It’s Quicksand (x4)
