“Like Sand” is a song about insecurity. How you can have achieved a great deal of things and still feel uncertain if it’s enough. About how you sometimes can feel godlike and sometimes completely without confidence.
[Intro]
I believe that the whole wide world is against me
I, I, I believe that the whole wide world is afraid of me
[Verse 1]
How did I end up here?
Half a life and still full of fears
If I'm honest, I think you'll see
I'm scared to share what's calling for me
You say, make the most of your time
How does it work when it's not on your side?
What can't kill you makes you stronger
So I heard, but I'm going under
[Pre-Chorus]
I will try
I will try
[Chorus]
I want the whole world, the whole world, the whole world in my hands
But it's just slipping through like sand
I want the whole world
[Verse 2]
I try hard to be like you
You're my Queen, but I break in two
I think I can overcome
All the mistakes that I've done
You say, make the most of your time
How does it work when it's not on your side?
What can't kill you makes you stronger
So you say, but I'm going under
[Pre-Chorus]
I will try
I will try
[Chorus]
I want the whole world, the whole world, the whole world in my hands
But it's just slipping through like sand
I want the whole world, the whole world, the whole world in my hands
But it's just slipping through like sand
[Bridge]
I believe that the whole wide world is afraid of me
[Chorus]
I want the whole world, the whole world, the whole world in my hands
But it's just slipping through like sand
I want the whole world, the whole world, the whole world in my hands
But it keeps slipping through like sand

Anders Friden:
<“It’s about insecurity. You want to have everything – and that could be difficult. Even though I’ve done a lot of things and get all these praises and meet people who love what we’re doing… that should be like, ‘I’m done, I feel great, I don’t need to do anything now, no one else...
