Rust
BONES & GREAF Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nothing too pressing no reason to stress
You'll be fine, it's just the end of the world
Though I have a tendency to exaggerate my words
But dramatics aside I'm saying it's over it's over
The lies, the wrongs, the rights to what's left of my soul
So I'm ending this tonight
And I won't say this twice
Don't try to twist it cause
It's not about love
What about love's there to discuss?
When it's all gone to dust
So I'll stop you there to just
Tell you that it's not about love, when you turned our love into rust
Just tell me the truth
Just how long have you
been planning to take my
soul, my morals sat back on your laurels
Waiting for your chance to make a move
Why do you think that I have to try and prove
Anything to you anymore, keeping score
of my misgivings, the words that keep my ears ringing
Anything to keep me living in the dark
In no uncertain terms I'm saying I blame you, I don't, I do I do I dont I do
So I'm ending this tonight
Finally do me right
And I won't say this twice
Don't try to twist it cause
It's not about love
What about love's there to discuss?
When it's all gone to dust
So I'll stop you there to just
Tell you that it's not about love, when you turned our love into rust
I'll stand back and watch it burn
Cause maybe then you'll finally learn
And I think that maybe, after all you've done it's finally your turn
So go to hell I think that it's been earned
Take your time, it's only life or death
And I am very confident what you give is what you'll get
So I'm ending this tonight
Finally do me right
And I won't say this twice
Don't try to twist it cause
It's not about love
What about love's there to discuss?
When it's all gone to dust
So I'll stop you there to just
Tell you that it's not about love, when you turned our love into rust
The lyrics of this song, Rust by BONES & GREAF, explore a breakup that is not about love, but about betrayal and loss of trust. The singer urges the other person to be truthful about their intentions and actions, and expresses anger and disappointment towards them. However, amidst the bitterness, the singer also conveys a sense of acceptance and detachment, acknowledging that what is gone cannot be reclaimed.
The opening lines of the song are reassuring, as the singer tells the other person not to stress or panic, and that life goes on despite the breakup. However, the following lines reveal the real nature of their parting - it is not just a simple disagreement, but a much deeper betrayal that has caused the singer to lose faith in the other person. The lines "when you turned our love into rust" suggest that the other person has corroded the singer's trust and affection, leaving only a decayed, broken shell of what used to be a relationship.
The chorus is particularly poignant, as it repeats the message that the singer wants to convey to the other person: "It's not about love". The singer emphasizes that love is not the issue here, as it has already turned to dust. Instead, the focus is on the lies, the wrongs, and the damage caused by the other person. The final lines of the chorus, "So I'll stop you there to just tell you that it's not about love" are delivered with a sense of finality and certainty, as if the singer is determined to move on and leave the pain behind.
Overall, the lyrics of Rust are a powerful and emotive exploration of the aftermath of a betrayal. The singer articulates their feelings of anger, disappointment, and loss with a raw honesty that is hard to ignore.

Take your time it's only life or death
Don't rush, there's no need to panic
Nothing too pressing no reason to stress
No need to feel overly anxious
You'll be fine, it's just the end of the world
Things will be okay, despite the situation appearing dire
Though I have a tendency to exaggerate my words
Sometimes I tend to speak in hyperbole
But dramatics aside I'm saying it's over it's over
Putting the drama aside, the relationship is over
The lies, the wrongs, the rights to what's left of my soul
The deceit, offenses, and ownership over what's left of my dignity
So I'm ending this tonight
I'm ending the relationship tonight
Finally do me right
Treat me well for once
And I won't say this twice
I won't repeat myself
Don't try to twist it cause
Don't try to manipulate me because
It's not about love
This isn't about love
What about love's there to discuss?
What more is there to say about love in this situation?
When it's all gone to dust
When everything has fallen apart
So I'll stop you there to just
I'll interrupt you just to say
Tell you that it's not about love, when you turned our love into rust
This isn't about love, it's about you destroying our relationship
Just tell me the truth
Be honest with me
Just how long have you
For how long have you
been planning to take my
been scheming to take away my
soul, my morals sat back on your laurels
my soul and my morality, while you sat back and did nothing
Waiting for your chance to make a move
Waiting for an opportunity to act on your intentions
Why do you think that I have to try and prove
Why do you believe that I need to demonstrate
Anything to you anymore, keeping score
Anything to you at all, while you keep a record
of my misgivings, the words that keep my ears ringing
of my mistakes, the words that haunt me
Anything to keep me living in the dark
Anything to keep me in a state of ignorance
In no uncertain terms I'm saying I blame you, I don't, I do I do I dont I do
I'm saying definitively that I blame you, but at the same time, I'm unsure
I'll stand back and watch it burn
I'll step back and observe its destruction
Cause maybe then you'll finally learn
Perhaps you'll learn from it
And I think that maybe, after all you've done it's finally your turn
I think that, after all of your actions, it's finally your turn to deal with consequences
So go to hell I think that it's been earned
So go to hell, you've deserved it
And I am very confident what you give is what you'll get
I'm certain that you'll receive what you deserve
