Sand Castle Prayer

"Sand Castle Prayer" is a ballad/message song that realistically depicts the coldness and unfulfilled loneliness of modern society, while strongly longing for the "proof of life" and "hope" that certainly exist amidst despair.

The sound of rain tapping against the window, sand spilling from the palm of one's hand, a world where words like "hang in there" don't resonate. This song poignantly portrays the "I" who kneels in the face of this harsh reality and carries the "shadow of despair" in his heart.

In particular, the chorus's lines "This pain is proof I'm alive," and "Even if I tremble alone in the corner of a cold society, I'll pray in my sand castle, knowing that dawn will surely come" symbolize the flame of prayer, as fleeting as a fragile sandcastle, yet never extinguished.

In the final chorus, the lonely "I" discovers the presence of "you," elevating the message of hope to "we are not alone."

Artist Comment
[Rarumin] shared the thoughts she put into the song.

"Sand Castle Prayer" is a song that expresses the helplessness and loneliness I once felt. Even if no one understands me, even if no one tells me to do my best, I believe that pain itself is proof of life, and I continue to build a little hope (sand castle prayer). I hope this song can be a quiet place where you can feel "not alone" if you're currently hitting a wall or feeling lonely.
