We wrote “Hourglass” about the realization that time keeps moving, and that the moments that shape us most don’t always feel important while they’re happening. The song lives in the tension between presence and hindsight. It’s the feeling of wishing you could go back, not to change anything, but just to see those moments again and feel them fully with an understanding that you didn’t have at the time. At its core, “Hourglass” is about impermanence, the bittersweetness of knowing that the people and moments we love are never truly ours to keep, only ours to experience while we can.
