Discover the story of the song > Sand – einstürzende neubauten

The song is about a man who is wandering around and feeling lost, until he meets a young woman who invites him to share her fire and keep warm. He asks her to hold him and she agrees, calling him Sand. At night, he dreams of her and wishes he could kiss her. She tells him her fire is burning high and that she would die without it. In the end, she remembers him fondly, even though he has moved on.
