Steeped in a hard rock swing, brash punk energy, metallic bombast, and a healthy helping of death rock, these three musicians—Jimmy Calabrese [vocals, bass], Bobby Calabrese [vocals, guitar], and Davey Calabrese [drums]—established a diehard following and garnered immense critical praise outside of the traditional system, emerging as underground luminaries from their native Phoenix, AZ.
Tastemakers from Alternative Press and Guitar World to Metal Hammer, Rue Morgue, Fangoria, and Rock Sound have featured them, while the trio has shared the stage with the likes of Tiger Army, She Wants Revenge, Strung Out, Nekromantix, and more.

Drift Into Dust
Calabrese Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Wicked hearts, to be
High in our love
Wild one, to me
Oh, don't you know?
To be free
You run
It's only love
Nobody knows where our lives may go
Take my hand, little girl
It's all you need
To be free
Funeral pyres light the sky
As we drift into dust
Always meant, for this
Into love
Into death
Young is our love
It's a broken heart to be
One wrong move
You came to me
Oh, if you knew
To be free, you'll stay
Just try to run
Try to run from me
Nobody knows where our lives may go
Take my hand, little girl
It's all you need
To be free
Funeral pyres light the sky
As we drift into dust
Always meant, for this
Into love
Into death
They don't understand you, yeah
And I feel your heartbeat death, yeah
They're gonna find, you in the water, yeah
Well, blood is in the water tonight, whoa
Nobody knows where our lives may go
Take my hand, little girl
It's all you need
To be free
Funeral pyres light the sky
As we drift into dust
Always meant, for this
Into love
Into death
Love, drifts away
The song "Drift Into Dust" by Calabrese explores themes of love, freedom, and the inevitability of death. In the opening verses, the lyrics paint a picture of a passionate but tumultuous love, characterized by wicked hearts and a sense of freedom that comes with embracing the wildness within oneself. The repeated refrain of "It's only love" suggests a deep connection that transcends the chaos and challenges that may arise in a relationship.
The imagery of funeral pyres lighting the sky as the characters in the song "drift into dust" hints at the impermanence of life and the idea that death is a natural part of the cycle of existence. Despite the darkness and uncertainty that death brings, there is a sense of acceptance and even inevitability in the way the characters embrace their fate, always meant for this transition into love and ultimately, into death.
The lyrics also touch on the idea of youth and vulnerability in love, portraying it as a fragile and often painful experience marked by broken hearts and the consequences of making wrong choices. The plea to "try to run from me" suggests a desire for freedom and escape from the entanglements of a complicated relationship, yet there is an underlying sense of resignation to the forces that bind the lovers together.
The closing verses introduce an element of danger and foreboding, with references to not being understood by others, feeling the heartbeat of death, and hints of a tragic fate lying ahead. The symbolism of blood in the water adds an eerie and ominous tone to the narrative, signaling a shift towards a darker and more sinister conclusion. Ultimately, the song concludes with the bittersweet acknowledgment that love eventually drifts away, highlighting the transient nature of human connections in the face of mortality.

The song “Drift Into Dust” is about loneliness and depravity. It’s about death and love. We know you’ve seen the original version, but we wanted to give it a fresh spin with a black and white, desolate feel. This new cut is to highlight the bleakness and dark atmosphere of the last track on our sixth album, “Lust For Sacrilege.” We hope you dig it.

This takes me back to when the first Danzig solo album came out, I had the original on vinyl. It was stolen while I was moving. Next move, I need to get my record player spinning.

This song has the dark imagery you have on your albums, with a mix of acoustic Danzig, almost like if Mother had more of a power ballad feel. More bluesy sounding. Love the deeper register in his singing voice. Like mixing 30 years of various mellow song types together in one. I feel the words deep in my charred-black heart, all the way to the rare center. It's great when you mix it up.
Charlie Schmitt
CALABRESE Really like the variety you guys kick although I do prefer the more punk sounding tunes. Love this song even being more rock oriented.
El Rey
CALABRESE honestly this is how the original should have been! This song has a very deep and dark tone, and the black and white really compliments that. I'd love to see you guys do more of this type of stuff, it has a very film noir feel to it
HorrorPunksUnite
This last album has really shown the music community just how deep calabrese can go as a band. You can't say these guys aren't super talented.
