Cover art for Sand lyrics by Horse the Band

This song is about doing drugs. Without a dought. The "fanged thing" is a needle that he injects the drugs with. He holusantes(sp?) alot during this song. "echoes peck and gnaw at me creep, i crawl - shake im breaking creep and crawl -- theyre chasing me SERPENTS!!!!!"

But then he runs out of his drugs: "its safe to say ive finally lost it the wells gone dry and abandoned me creep, i crawl, begging droplets of anything to comfort me thirsty" The wells gone dry means hes out.

"laying in a hot desert bitten by a poisonous snake soft venom floods my veins i have lost my heartbeat my poor pulse is quivering and ive lost control descending to my ending a perilous black hole" He over doses and almost dies

"ive lost my way desperate for change pursued by snakes bearing my name" He doent like what hes become but hes addicted.
