Dust in the Wind
Guns N' Roses Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell everybody that I am sorry, truly sorry
For all the wrong I've done
I never meant to hurt nobody, no no
Lord I never want to do no wrong

And I have lied, and I have begged and I have cheated
And I know my ship, it won't be coming in
And as I lay me down to take my rest
I can see that it's just dust in the wind

Take hold my hand, and hold it tighter, ever tighter
You must believe that I love you still
But my strength, it grows weaker, and weaker
And my body has lost its will

'Cause I have lied, and I have begged and I have cheated
And I know my ship, it won't be coming in
And as I lay me down to take my rest
I can see that it's just dust in the wind

Oh Lord, I have lost once again
And there's no one to help me find my way home
Lord and I, Lord I never want to hurt nobody
And I, Lord I never want to do no wrong

'Cause I have lied, and I have begged and I have cheated
And I know my ship, it won't be coming in




And as I lay me down to take my rest
I can see that it's just dust in the wind

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Dust in the Wind" by Guns N' Roses are full of remorse and regret. The singer of the song is apologizing for all the wrongs they have done in their life, acknowledging that they have lied, begged and cheated, but insisting that they never meant to hurt anyone. They express love towards someone who is holding their hand, but they also acknowledge that their strength is failing, and their body has lost its will. The word "sorry" is repeated, and the theme of helplessness is strong throughout the song, with the final line "I can see that it's just dust in the wind" indicating the sense of impermanence and futility of life.

Dile a todos que lo siento, lo siento de verdad
Por todo el mal que he hecho
Nunca quise lastimar a nadie, no no
Señor, nunca quiero hacer nada malo

Y he mentido, y he suplicado y he engañado
Y conozco mi nave, no va a entrar
Y mientras me acuesto para descansar
Puedo ver que es sólo polvo en el viento

Agarra mi mano, y sosténgala más fuerte, cada vez más fuerte
Debes creer que aún te amo
Pero mi fuerza, se vuelve más débil, y más débil
Y mi cuerpo ha perdido su voluntad

Porque he mentido, y he suplicado y he engañado
Y conozco mi nave, no va a entrar
Y mientras me acuesto para descansar
Puedo ver que es sólo polvo en el viento

Oh Señor, he perdido una vez más
Y no hay nadie que me ayude a encontrar mi camino a casa
Señor y yo, Señor. Nunca quiero lastimar a nadie
Y yo, Señor, nunca quiero hacer nada malo

Porque he mentido, y he suplicado y he engañado
Y conozco mi nave, no va a entrar
Y mientras me acuesto para descansar
Puedo ver que es sólo polvo en el viento

My absolute favorite side of Axl. I want this version played at my funeral. It's beautiful.

Dave Furbush

Same. See above. I’ve heard other versions of them doing this song, but this? Perfection. Proof of the Axl Slash Magic that they’re currently pissing away for a cash grab tour.
It bums me out.

Orson Merel

Solo quisiera que cante una vez más en vivo esta canción. Solo una vez

Marcelo Arroyo
