Ashes.Dust.Smoke.Love.Stars.The One
Slaves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We sank beneath her with every track
She screams 'til she's blue in the face
There's no room for her under the stars we feud for
We're still not getting past it, hoping these issues dissolve
But they take another form, these problems just evolve
I can't fake another love when the outcome is so quick
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Watch the smoke fill our lungs, watch the smoke
We're still not getting past it
Hoping these issues dissolve, but they take another form
These problems just evolve
I watched her eyes burn bright, but I could see the despise
We sank beneath her with every track
She screams 'til she's blue in the face
There's no room for her under the stars we feud for
Watch her turn to dust, Watch her turn to dust
You're covered in the blood after you stabbed my fucking heart out
We're still not getting past it, hoping these issues dissolve
But they take another form, these problems just evolve
The song "Ashes.Dust.Smoke.Love.Stars.The One" by Slaves tells the story of a failed relationship. The singer watches the woman's eyes burn bright, but he can see the despise in them. As they sink beneath the weight of their problems with every step, she continues to scream until there's no room for her under the stars. They're struggling to move forward and resolve their issues but every time they think they've overcome something, it evolves into something else.
The song portrays the hardships of trying to force a relationship to work, even when it seems like it's falling apart. The line "I can't fake another love when the outcome is so quick" suggests that they've been through this cycle before and the singer can no longer fake his love for her just to sustain the relationship. The line "You're covered in the blood after you stabbed my fucking heart out" suggests that the woman may have betrayed the singer in some way and the relationship has reached its end.
Overall, the song is a commentary on the difficulties of love and relationships, and how trying to force something to work can result in the destruction of the love that was once there.
