Lyrics
They put me in a cage
To see what happens when
You put one in a cell
Without an escape plan
If I lose my mind
Before the first attempt
I’ll never be free again
The walls are made of glass
And they’re hard as stone
Come on take some pictures
With your high-end phones
Give me all your love
And share it with your friends
I’ll never be free again
I have all these dark dreams
They come down like concrete
For your entertainment
I’ll name it to tame it
Don’t turn the lights off
I barely understand
What I know
Is all quicksand
As the rain blows
Through the curtains
I am turning to set my eyes on you
Woke up next to you
I’ll name it to tame it
I hear a million voices
Laughing indiscreet
It’s how they enjoy
The blood spilled on the screen
Hey man, I've washed my face
I've kept my costume clean
I’m not a part of the scene
But all I thought I knew
Has been turned upside down
I don’t have a clue
What it means to drown
And what I mean to you
I’ll never figure out
All the noise in here got way too loud
We close a deal
In the ink-blue dawn
All is revealed now
We can’t be harmed
Soon I am leaving
Soon I’ll be gone
I don’t need reasons
To be alone

I too just found this group by accident. This by far is my most favorite arrangement of “quicksand.” I love them.
This is so perfectly done. I could listen to a 15 minute extended version on repeat
That jam at the last two minutes, to die for....
Alter Jungs. Mein Herz!
Two years ago, I discovered this song while stuck in a toxic marriage. Listened to it on repeat because I felt like the lyrics embodied my experience perfectly. Two years later, I am listening to this song together with my new partner, happier than ever to be able to say to her that this is part of my history now.

im 11 years old and i love all of these songs
I was looking for videos about actual quick sand, and found this. I'm sunk in deep now!
I have to say that I’m obsessed with this band, for sure my new favorite band
They're so underrated and down to Earth it hurts. Can't wait to see you guys live :')
Giant Rooks is a band you'd listen to forever. Mr Rabe's voice and talent= sublime!!!!!
Buralar değerlenecek yerimi alayım bari
soooo much talent, guys! the part that starts at 04:22 is FREAKIN INSANE!❤️🔥
I can't stop listening to this. It's incredible.
Ihr macht mich fix und fertig. Irgendwie ist das fast ein ganz neuer Song. Weiß gar nicht welche Version ich jetzt besser finden soll. Sind halt beide voll geil. Ich hoffe ganz dolle, dass wir uns Ende April in Prag beim Konzert sehen. Hoffentlich fällt es nicht wieder aus. Bis dahin bleibt gesund und weiter so.
This arrangement is my absolute most wonderful, best recording of theirs. Now there’s a bunch more but this arrangement is supreme. Well done, lads!
Look at all the comments! All very well.😍 I feel like such a proud mama right now.😭 That's giving me goose bumps! I cry, that's all.
The piano solo touches my soul. This song is SO beautiful. Greetings from Brazil, guys!
I am obsessed with this version of this song. I've been listening to it several times a day for weeks and it doesn't get old.
Only 2 Million views? This piece need more attention!
habe mich neu in eure musik verliebt
Look at the singers face . Those smiles . He is so pleased with himself , and rightly so
How is that song not absolutely HUGE by now.... It's just amazing.
Manche haben einfach nur Glück mit ihrer Stimme und ihrem Aussehen, und komponieren immer die gleiche Suppe, andere hingegen entwickeln sich stetig weiter wie ihr! Wie eure Songs von Song zu Song wachsen, ist der Hammer! Respekt für eure Arbeit und euer Einfallsreichtum!
This version of this song feels magical. My favorite Giant Rooks song 🥺
Das hier, ist wunderschön :)
This song is EPIC, and the arrangement so special!
Der beste track. Die Wechsel sind der Wahnsinn und der absolut saubere Schluss. Jungs! Hut ab. :)
This is such a masterpiece especially that BRIDGE... OMG🤧! This song makes me want to cry and watch the sunrise while in a car on the highway.
Brilliant reworking of Quicksand
Gänsehaut - zu dem dem letzten Part möchte ich einfach nur rennen..
Finally! Unique beautiful original music. Gorgeous. Thank you!
If only I could put in words how much this video moves me
Habe lange nicht mehr so etwas wunderschönes gehört. Ihr seid der Hammer!

Was für eine wunderschöne Version 😍😍😍 Besonders der zweite Teil, einfach zum Treibenlassen und Träumen ❣️
j'ai découvert ce groupe ce dimanche au festival la nuit de l'Erdre. Venue pour Lomepal, excellent, j'ai été bluffée par ce groupe. j'écoute en boucle depuis. merci pour la qualité vocale, musicale, l'attitude, un rayon de soleil !
I randomly found you guys only about a week ago but I think it's safe to say that you're already one of my favorite bands. The music, lyrics, vocals are all just so perfect. I'm kind of in awe at your songwriting skills. ❤
I love this song and his voice is perfect. The band is terrific as well!!!
Ich liebe diese Band ❣️ Die Stimmen, die Musik, die Gefühle, die Sie in mir auslösen ❤️ Ich freu mich so sehr Sie bald live zu sehen/hören 😍
I love this band so much ❤️
His voice reminds me of the trumpet, it has a sort of resonance and also a sort of tone that borders on becoming harsh, but with that same skill as the trumpeter, it's turned into a unique sound that you cannot call anything other than vibrant.
These are so under rated, amazing musicians raw talent and will definitely make it big.
Das ist soooo schön!!! Kann es gar nicht in Worte fassen!
Wirklich wunderschöne Version 🎶✨
One of my favorite songs ever
Zeit lassen ist so wichtig bei Musik, und heutzutage so selten geworden. Unglaublich gut, intensiv. 03:20. Man merkt, wie wohl und sicher sie sich dabei fühlen. Geborene Live Band halt.
I'm addicted feel like I could listen to this song forever ❤🥺
