Dust and drought
32Crash Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dead are the dahlias
Dead are the daisies
Dead are the dandelions
Gone is the pond
Gone is the garden
The fountain, the green, the blue gold

Dust and drought have settled down here
Dust and drought have settled down
(x2)

The dry leaves fell from the trees
The dry trees wept and died out
Daily dawns another desiccated day
On the dunes and on the dales

Dust and drought have settled down here
Dust and drought have settled down
(x2)

Dust and drought (x4)

The dry leaves fell from the trees
The dry trees wept and died out
The drought eroded our fiber
Corroded us to the core

Dust and drought have settled down here
(Dust and drought have settled down)
Dust and drought have settled down
(Dust and drought have settled down)
Dust and drought have settled down here




(Dust and drought have settled down)
Dust and drought have settled down

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to 32Crash's song Dust and Drought paint a vivid picture of a desolate landscape. The imagery is of a garden or pond that has been overtaken by the harsh elements of dust and drought. The once beautiful flowers and foliage are now dead and gone, and the pond and fountain have dried up. The trees have also succumbed to the lack of water, shedding their dry leaves and ultimately dying out. The harshness of the environment has left its mark on the people as well, corroding them to their core.


The song speaks to the fragility of our ecosystem and how easily it can be destroyed by the effects of climate change. It highlights the importance of taking care of our planet and preserving the beauty that nature has to offer. The lyrics, while bleak, offer a haunting reminder of the consequences of neglecting our environment.
