ooh I will learn what dust taste like, I am not immune I will learn what dust taste like, I am not immune Ooh, ooh, ooh...
ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh...
ooh I will learn what dust taste like, I am not immune I will learn what dust taste like, I am not immune I am not immune
The lyrics of Abi Reimold's song Dust seem to explore the idea of vulnerability, and the realization that no one is invincible. The repeated phrase "I am not immune" serves as a reminder that despite one's own perceived strength, everyone is susceptible to experiencing pain and hardship. The line "I will learn what dust taste like" can be interpreted as a metaphor for experiencing the harsh reality of life, and perhaps even coming to terms with one's own mortality.
The use of the word "dust" also adds to this theme of fragility; dust is often associated with decay and impermanence, and can be seen as a symbol for the fleeting nature of existence. The repetition of the phrase "ooh, ooh, ooh" adds a haunting quality to the song, emphasizing the weight of this realization and the vulnerability that comes with it.
Overall, Dust seems to be a poignant reflection on the human experience - that we are all fragile beings, subject to the whims of the world around us.
