Okay Ocean....you're making me all nostalgic tonight. All of a sudden I miss cruising in my Chevy Baretta, sun roof open, windows down, singing all the songs on this album at the top of my lungs. Once again, thanks for the post!
the song is actually simple to understand, she is pretty much saying that the guy only comes around when its convient for him, and she is that point where his words are like a painting in wave wet sand, once the water washes over that painting, its gone, so as quickly as he comes around , he Just as quickly leaves again.
I agree with poorkinghaggard a few comments down, Bridge is their best work, though several of their best are outside of this album. Also that this song is inspired by "dont turn around music video, i could see that.
The Bridge is probably their best album, all together.
This song was actually inspired on the set for the music video to "Don't Turn Around", when Lynn was drawing in the sand. She said that sand is not very reliable.
What was this song about?

One of the best songs that Jenny ever wrote. All her metaphors are based on the sea, not surprising since she grew up in Gotenburg.

@sweetynott That's what I'm thinking, too. Wonder why everyone thinks it's weird :S It's a lovely song.

I like this song because its sounds pretty dark and mystic, something AOB dosen't do often. I think they should make more songs like this.

there are some typos in the video part of the lyric text...."close my EARS when I hear that you call"

I try to sing that song for a future vid' that i will maybe make,but it's hard to be more powerful/hypnotizing than the voice of Jenny.

one of the songs of AOB with most sensible lyrics which can also be understood by people who are not fans of AOB. Check out their song Ravine...
