Red Delicious Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know who I am
I don't know where you are
I must've gone too far
And I'm too tired to try and find my way back home now
All my love has crumbled into dust
I don't know what will become of us
I think I cry because
Of how easy it once was
That's how love should be
Why is it hard for me?
Why do I look at you and see a stranger there now?
All my love has crumbled into dust
I don't know what will become of us
Too much afraid to kill it though it's dying
I know the truth, but I'll continue lying to you
All my love has crumbled into dust
I don't know what will become of us
I lost myself again
I don't know who I am
I don't know where you are
The lyrics to Red Delicious's song Dust depict the feeling of being lost and disconnected from oneself and a loved one. The first and last lines are repeated, emphasizing the sense of confusion and disorientation. The lyrics express a feeling of hopelessness in trying to find one's way back to a sense of self and a relationship that has fallen apart.
The second verse touches on the idea of how love should be easy, but for the singer, it has become difficult. However, the chorus repeats the phrase "all my love has crumbled into dust," which implies that the love was once strong and solid but has now disintegrated into something fragile and insubstantial.
The final lines of the song reveal the singer's reluctance to let go of a dying relationship and the truth that they are aware of but continue to deny to their partner. The overall message of the song seems to be a lament for lost love and the difficulty of holding on to something that is slipping away.
