Wet Sand

On the drive home from work, a song came on that just grooved right with my mood. I felt I understood exactly what they were trying to get across, and agreed completely. This has happened before on this song, and is probably why I've decided it is my favorite on the album. This song is "Wet Sand", by RHCP, from their Stadium Arcadium album. Below are the lyrics for your enjoyment, though I recommend listening to it a few times before you'll find meaning to it.

My shadow side so amplified
Keeps coming back dissatisfied
Elementary son but it’s so...

My love affair with everywhere
Was innocent why do you care
Someone start the car time to go...
You’re the best I know

My sunny side has up and died
I’m betting that when we collide
The universe will shift into a low

The travesties that we have seen
Are treating me like benzedrine
Automatic laughter from a pro

My what a good day for a walk outside
I like to get to know you little better baby
God knows that I really tried

My what a good day for a takeout bride
I’d like to say we did it for the better of

I saw you there so unaware
Those hummingbirds all in your hair
Elementary sun but its so

The disrepair of Norma Jean
Could not compare to your routine
Balarama beauty going toe to toe

My what a good day for a let it slide
I’d like to say we did it for the better of

I thought about it and I brought it out
I’m motivated by the lack of doubt
I’m consecrated but I’m not devout
The mother, the father, the daughter

Right on the verge just one more dose
I’m traveling from coast to coast
My theory isn’t perfect but it’s close

I’m almost there why should I care
My heart is hurting when I share
Someone open up
Let it show

My what a good day for a walk outside
I’d like to think we did it for the better of

I thought about it and I brought it out
I’m motivated by the lack of doubt
I’m consecrated but I’m not devout
The mother, the father, the daughter

Oh
You don’t form in the wet sand,
You don’t form at all
Woah you don’t form in the wet sand,
I do

Yeah

You don’t form in the wet sand,
You don’t form at all
Woah you don’t form in the wet sand,
I do

Yeah

This song, to me, is the heart of the album. I thought about sharing what this means to me, but I'd rather let you make up your own opinion. Maybe I'll share next time. For the record, I believe this album is one of those in which each listen through allows you to further appreciate what you're hearing.
