CLMD started as a duo between Carl Louis and Martin Danielle (the name of the act being made of the initials of the two members). Carl and Martin first met at the age of 6, and during their high school years, they got introduced to house music and the art of DJing.

As of the summer 2014, Carl decided to leave CLMD to focus on his solo career. Early 2015 brings CLMD (now branded as "Create Love Music & Dreams") back as a revitalized solo endeavor. The single ‘Keep Dreaming’ marks a new beginning in Danielle's musical career.

Dust
CLMD Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's no need for an explanation
But the words I feel them tumbling down
Guess I know you're my temptation
You make me fall into a deeper ground

I raise my hand 'til you can see me
I hold it up until I feel it fall
I didn't need someone to save me

Let me be the one to stay and fall

I wish that I could feel the warmth under the sun
I'll be here watching it dust
I wish that I could see where everybody runs
I'll be here watching me dust

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh
Watching it dust

There's no need for an understanding
You wouldn't care about it anyway
Cause you've forgot what we we're planning
I wouldn't waste my time to beg you stay

So raise your hand if you can see me
Hold it up until you feel the fall
I never asked for you to save me
Never left alone to stay and fall

I wish that I could feel the warmth under the sun
I'll be here watching it dust
I wish that I could see where everybody runs
I'll be here watching me dust

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh
Watching me dust

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh
Watching me dust

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of CLMD's song "Dust" seem to be about a faltered relationship where the singer is left to watch things crumble, almost helplessly. He is still drawn towards the person who left him, knowing they are his temptation and are making him fall deeper. The lines "I raise my hand 'til you can see me" and "So raise your hand if you can see me" may suggest that the singer is trying to reach out for help, but most of the time, it is of no use.

The repeated chorus "I wish that I could feel the warmth under the sun, I'll be here watching it dust. I wish that I could see where everybody runs, I'll be here watching me dust" portrays the feeling of loneliness and isolation the singer has. He wishes to be part of a bigger picture, but he knows he is stuck where he is, watching everything failing apart, including himself, represented by the word "dust."

The song's melancholic and introspective tune complements the lyrics perfectly. The additional "oh oh" sounds that come along with the chorus provide an emotional harshness to the song. Overall, "Dust" is a thought-provoking piece that reflects on the complex emotions that come with a relationship's end.

Line by Line Meaning

There's no need for an explanation
I don't need to explain my feelings to you

But the words I feel them tumbling down
My emotions are overwhelming me

Guess I know you're my temptation
I am aware that you are my weakness

You make me fall into a deeper ground
You cause me to sink deeper into my emotions

I raise my hand 'til you can see me
I am asking you to notice me

I hold it up until I feel it fall
I will keep trying until I cannot anymore

I didn't need someone to save me
I do not want anyone to rescue me

Let me be the one to stay and fall
Let me experience the consequences of my actions

I wish that I could feel the warmth under the sun
I wish I could experience happiness

I'll be here watching it dust
But I will continue to suffer silently

I wish that I could see where everybody runs
I wish I could understand others' perspectives

I'll be here watching me dust
But I am too focused on my own problems

There's no need for an understanding
You do not care to understand me

You wouldn't care about it anyway
Even if I explained myself, you would not care

Cause you've forgot what we we're planning
You have forgotten about our shared goals

I wouldn't waste my time to beg you stay
I am not going to plead for you to stay with me

So raise your hand if you can see me
Pay attention to me if you care

Hold it up until you feel the fall
Don't give up until you feel defeated

I never asked for you to save me
I never wanted you to rescue me

Never left alone to stay and fall
I can experience the consequences of my actions alone

Watching me dust
I am too focused on my own problems to see anything else

Watching it dust
There's no need for an exclamation
With the words I feel them tumbling down
Guess I know you're my temptation
You make me fall into a deeper ground
I raise my hand so you can see me
I hold it up until I feel it fall
I didn't need someone to save me
Let me be the one to stand tall
I wish that I could feel the warmth under the sun
I'll be here watching it dust
I wish that I could see where everybody runs
I'll be here watching me dust
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh

Watching it dust
There's no need for an understanding
You wouldn't care about it anyway
Cause you've forgot what we were planning
I wouldn't waste my time to beg you stay
So raise your hand if you can see me
Hold it up until you feel the fall
I never asked for you to save me
Now I'm left alone to stand tall
(Stand tall)
I wish that I could feel the warmth under the sun
I'll be here watching it dust
I wish that I could see where everybody runs
I'll be here watching me dust
