Dust
COSBY Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You are there
And I am here
I can see you blurred
You disappear
We can fix it all
If you want
But you've built a wall
And I can not make it undone

And I feel that everything's falling apart
Do you know that you're about to break my heart?
I lose my way and get swallowed by the dark

Everything turns to dust
Everything that I loved
I've been giving you all I got
All you left is just a deep cut

Everything turns to dust
It kills me
I'd do anything for your love
Everything turns to dust
Everything turns to dust

Do you know how it feels?
To watch you go
This is all so unreal
I wanna talk it through
What went wrong
I wanna be close to you
Didn't we belong?

And I feel that everything's falling apart
Do you know that you're about to break my heart?
I lose my way and get swallowed by the dark

Everything turns to dust
Everything that I loved
I've been giving you all I got
All you left is just a deep cut

Everything turns to dust
It kills me
I'd do anything for your love
Everything turns to dust
Everything turns to dust





Everything turns to dust
Everything turns to dust

Wat ein geiler Song. Ich hoffe von der Band kommt noch mehr und das war nun nicht das letzte Album, den 2018 ist ja nun schon ne weile her.

Ich bin ein wenig verliebt in den Song. Auch wenn es mich an einige verflossenen Menschen erinnert...
Ganz großer Song, welcher leider viel zu wenig Aufmerksamkeit genießt!
Macht weiter so!
