Set It Off – Hourglass lyrics
[Verse 1]
When pretending lends a helping hand
We hold it close, so close, and never let it go
Then, the pen begins to write a story
With an end that bends right out of our control


[Pre-Chorus]
How did we get so jaded? I don't know
Was it the white lies feeding our egos?
I never valuated minutes I burned through
Is that just how it goes?
Seconds I wasted, I was fixated
You're devastated, sorry to say
I can't fix it, is this where I give in
?

[Chorus]
I'm falling through the hourglass
And I don't think I'll ever make it back
So I throw stones at walls I'll never climb
Victim to the sands of time
Falling through the hourglass
The hourglass


[Verse 2]
Time is strange, it's ever-flowing
Never going back, it moves, but only in one way

Turn the page, look back at what you wrote
Do you still feel the same?
I'll bet your mind has changed


[Pre-Chorus]
How did it get so scary? I don't know
Was it the hard life starving our egos
I never valued minutes I burned through
Is that just how it goes?
Seconds I wasted, I was fixated
You're devastated, sorry to say
I can't fix it, is this where I give in
?
(Let's go!)

[Chorus]
I'm falling through the hourglass
And I don't think I'll ever make it back
So I throw stones at walls I'll never climb
Victim to the sands of time
Falling through the hourglass
The hourglass
(The hourglass)

[Bridge]
'Cause that's just how it goes
'Cause that's just how it goes
'Cause that's just how it goes

[Chorus]
Falling through the hourglass
And I don't think I'll ever make it back
So I throw stones at walls I'll never climb
Victim to the sands of time
Falling through the hourglass
(Through the hourglass)

[Outro]
I'm falling through the hourglass (I'm falling through the hourglass)
And I don't think I'll ever make it back (Make it back)
So I throw stones at walls I'll never climb
Victim to the sands of time
Falling through the hourglass
The hourglass

    This song means time stops for no one, it only goes forward and yo can't go back in time.
    As in how you are always growing and when you make a mistake you learn from it.
    But this song its like I've made a big mistake and I can't go back to fix it.

    I feel like Hourglass is a song about how we often regret the decisions we've made in the past. This can either be words we've said, the time we've wasted, or the decisions that still hinder us in the present. The protagonist is angry at themselves for the mistakes they have made, so they actively punish themselves for their old choices. This causes them to dwell on their past decisions, which doesn't allow them to truly live in the present. The stress of the choices they've made in the past causes them to spend more time hating themselves, and they don't get to truly experience their present.

    For anyone who may need this, don't dwell in your past. All you'll do is waste time that you could be using to improve your present and future. Don't look back, unless there's something you need to find.
