Dust
The Divine Madness Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Listen to words devoid of meaning
To sounds that long for feeling
To wicked eloquence
Hold on the world keeps spinning
Hold on the earth keeps shifting under us
And with every breath
Our moments fade away
Hoping to shine again someday
Tonight its over
As we try so hard not to feel
Midnight surrounds us
As we drift so far from what is real
Dust to dust
Enter a dream world bathed in silence
Of rituals and violence
Unfilled desire
Hold on your senses reeling
Hold on to fantasies unyielding
With secrets deep inside
And with every move
Our chances fade away
Never to see the light of day
Tonight its over
As we try so hard not to feel
Midnight surrounds us
As we drift so far from what is real
Dust to dust
We lie awake on fallen leaves
As earthworms gather for their feast
We pray the Lord our soul to keep
In dark night shadows we will weep
We're on our way
We're on our way
Tonight its over
As we try so hard not to feel
Midnight surrounds us
As we drift so far from what is real
Dust to dust
The lyrics to "Dust" by The Divine Madness is a poignant reflection on the transience of life and the struggle to find meaning in a world that often feels meaningless. The opening lines encourage the listener to pay attention to words that are devoid of meaning, emphasizing the desire for something more substantial and fulfilling. The next lines express the fear and uncertainty that comes with the passing of time and the realization that our control over the world is limited. In the face of this realization, the chorus invites the listener to take comfort in the knowledge that we are all part of the same cycle of life and death, and that our lives are made more meaningful by the knowledge that they will eventually come to an end.
The second verse explores the theme of desire and fantasy, suggesting that the pleasures of the imagination can sometimes be more powerful than those of the physical world. The final lines of the verse convey the sense of loss and regret that can come from being unable to act on those fancies. The bridge then creates an image of vulnerability, invoking the imagery of fallen leaves and earthworms, before concluding with a prayer for protection and comfort in the face of the inevitability of death.
Line by Line Meaning
Listen to words devoid of meaning
Pay attention to empty phrases devoid of significance
To sounds that long for feeling
To music that desires emotion
To wicked eloquence
To skillful and deceitful speech
Hold on the world keeps spinning
Hang on, the planet continues its rotation
Hold on the earth keeps shifting under us
Hold tight, the ground beneath us is constantly changing
Guiding our decent
Directing our descent into the unknown
And with every breath
With each intake of air
Our moments fade away
Our brief instances disappear
Hoping to shine again someday
Yearning for a chance to reemerge
Tonight its over
The darkness has arrived
As we try so hard not to feel
As we struggle to suppress our emotions
Midnight surrounds us
The middle of the night envelops us
As we drift so far from what is real
As we move away from what is genuine
Dust to dust
From particles, we came, and to particles, we will return
Enter a dream world bathed in silence
Enter an imaginary land full of stillness
Of rituals and violence
Of customs and brutality
Unfilled desire
Unsatisfied longing
Hold on your senses reeling
Clutch your spinning senses
Hold on to fantasies unyielding
Embrace your unrelenting dreams
With secrets deep inside
With undisclosed mysteries within
And with every move
With each motion
Our chances fade away
Our opportunities diminish
Never to see the light of day
Never to be realized
We lie awake on fallen leaves
We stay awake on fallen foliage
As earthworms gather for their feast
As worms come to the banquet
We pray the Lord our soul to keep
We ask the divine to safeguard our essence
In dark night shadows we will weep
We will cry in the shadows of the desolate evening
We're on our way
We're en route
Tonight its over
Today has ended
As we try so hard not to feel
As we endeavour to avoid feeling
Midnight surrounds us
The middle of the night engulfs us
As we drift so far from what is real
As we steadily move away from what is genuine
Dust to dust
From particles, we came, and to particles, we will return
