Dust In The Wind
Liriel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Only for a moment
And the moment's gone
All my dreams
Pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind
All they are is dust in the wind
Same old song
Just a drop of water
In an endless sea
All we do
Crumbles to the ground though we refuse to see
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
Now, don't hang on
Nothing lasts forever, but the earth and sky
It slips away
And all your money won't another minute buy
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
Dust in the wind
Everything is dust in the wind
The lyrics to Liriel's song "Dust in the Wind" evoke a sense of impermanence and the fleeting nature of life. The first verse highlights the brevity of our existence, emphasizing how quickly time passes and how our dreams can slip away in an instant. The phrase "dust in the wind" serves as a metaphor for the ephemeral nature of our hopes and aspirations. It suggests that, ultimately, everything we hold onto will crumble away like dust and dissipate.
The second verse reinforces this theme by comparing our individual existence to a small drop of water in an endless sea. It emphasizes that everything we strive for and build will eventually disintegrate, even if we choose to ignore this truth. The repetition of "dust in the wind" emphasizes the universality of this experience; it applies to all of us equally.
The final verse serves as a reminder that nothing in life is permanent. Both material possessions and time itself slip away, no matter how much we may cling to them. The line "all your money won't another minute buy" reminds us that wealth and material possessions are ultimately meaningless in the face of our mortality. In the end, we are all reduced to dust, just like everything else in the grand scheme of things.
Overall, "Dust in the Wind" is a poignant reflection on the transient nature of life and the futility of trying to hold onto things that will inevitably vanish.
Line by Line Meaning
I close my eyes
I momentarily shut out the world and retreat into myself
Only for a moment
But that brief respite is fleeting
And the moment's gone
And just like that, the opportunity or experience has slipped away
All my dreams
All the aspirations and desires I possess
Pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Manifest as fleeting thoughts and fleeting interest
Dust in the wind
They are insignificant and transient, like particles carried by the wind
All they are is dust in the wind
Their existence and significance amount to nothing
Same old song
This is a repetitive and familiar narrative
Just a drop of water
We are insignificant, like a single droplet in a vast ocean
In an endless sea
Within an infinity of possibilities and experiences
All we do
Despite our efforts and actions
Crumbles to the ground though we refuse to see
Ultimately, it all disintegrates and collapses, even if we are oblivious to it
Now, don't hang on
Let go and don't cling to fleeting moments or experiences
Nothing lasts forever, but the earth and sky
Everything is impermanent, except for the natural elements of the world
It slips away
Everything eventually fades and escapes our grasp
And all your money won't another minute buy
No amount of wealth can purchase additional time or prevent its passage
Dust in the wind
We are all insignificant and transient, just like specks in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
Our existence and significance amount to nothing in the grand scheme
Dust in the wind
Everything, without exception, is ultimately transient and meaningless
Everything is dust in the wind
All aspects of life, no matter how important they seem, are ultimately inconsequential
