711
Cro Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dusted got dumped by what he thought he knew
Now he sits slumped and don′t know what to do
Dusted gave away some important piece
Now he sits here completely incomplete

Alone
Alone
Sittin' with his skin all outside in

Dusted′s home is a dirty street
In it his time down here is almost complete
He relies on folks that feel
Jesus might return as he

Alone
Alone

Dusted's home is a hamster's wheel
And the hum tells him how he has to feel
He relies on folks that feel
Jesus might return

Jesus might return
Jesus might return
(Jesus)
If only a slight return (slight return)
Might return (might return) as he
As he (Jesus)
Jesus (Jesus)
Might return (Jesus)




Jesus
Slight return

Dusted gave away something important, and now he sits slumped, not knowing what to do. The song describes his state of being alone, with his emotions and vulnerabilities on display for everyone to see.

It implies that his time on earth is almost complete, emphasizing a sense of hopelessness and despair. He relies on others who share his belief that Jesus might return, as if that is the only hope he clings to.


The repetition of the word "alone" emphasizes the theme of isolation and the feeling of being disconnected from others. Dusted's existence is likened to a hamster's wheel, implying that he keeps going through repetitive and unfulfilling cycles. The hum of the wheel reminds him of the emotions he should feel according to societal norms.
