Tremonti Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Only to fight yourself again
Who would believe that now you're done
You carried the weight of everyone
After all the time we spent
Rewriting the rules that now we bend
The whole damn thing has turned to dust
You left us alone, defeated us
Oh, oh
Why did you head out
Did you lack the love?
Hide from our eyes now
The reflection of
Once fell behind to carry me
You know it was never meant to be
Bled for the right to see it through
And now is the time to carry you
Why were we afraid to go?
We asked for the truth and now we know
The whole damn thing has turned to dust
The ashes you left to bury us
Oh, ooh
Why did you head out
Did you lack the love?
Hide from our eyes now
The reflection of
Why did you head out
Did you lack the love?
Hide from our eyes now
The reflection of
Why did you head out?
Did you lack the love?
Oh
Hide from our eyes now
The reflection of
The song "Dust" by Tremonti talks about the struggle of carrying the weight of others and fighting against oneself. The first verse talks about the feeling of reaching the end, only to realize that the fight starts all over again. The lyrics mention the singer carrying the weight of everyone, which could be interpreted as the pressure to constantly prove oneself or to live up to the expectations of others. The chorus asks why the singer decided to leave, questioning if it was due to a lack of love or if they were hiding from their reflection. The second verse mentions someone who was once relied on to carry the singer, but it was never meant to be. The lyrics state that they bled for the right to see it through, but now it's time for the singer to carry them. The chorus is repeated twice more, emphasizing the question of why the singer left and if they lacked love.
Overall, the song seems to center around the theme of weight and burdens; the weight of the expectations of others, the burden of carrying oneself while simultaneously carrying others, and the weight of past failures and mistakes. The lyrics also touch on the theme of love, asking if the singer left due to its absence.
Line by Line Meaning
Cut through the fetters, reach the end
Break free from the chains holding you back and reach your destination
Only to fight yourself again
Despite reaching your goals, you still face inner turmoil
Who would believe that now you're done
No one believed you could accomplish your goals, but you did
You carried the weight of everyone
You took on the burden of others' problems
After all the time we spent
We invested a great deal of time into something
Rewriting the rules that now we bend
We changed the rules, but now we are breaking them
The whole damn thing has turned to dust
Everything we worked for has fallen apart
You left us alone, defeated us
You abandoned us and we suffered as a result
Why did you head out
Why did you leave us?
Did you lack the love?
Did you not care enough to stay?
Hide from our eyes now
You are avoiding us
The reflection of
The image we see of you
Once fell behind to carry me
You used to support me, but not anymore
You know it was never meant to be
Our relationship was not meant to last
Bled for the right to see it through
We sacrificed a lot to achieve our goals
And now is the time to carry you
Now we must support you
Why were we afraid to go?
What was holding us back from moving forward?
We asked for the truth and now we know
We finally got the answers we were looking for
The ashes you left to bury us
The remnants of our failed venture have caused us pain and suffering
Oh, ooh
An interjection expressing emotion
Why did you head out
Why did you leave us?
Did you lack the love?
Did you not care enough to stay?
Hide from our eyes now
You are avoiding us
The reflection of
The image we see of you
Why did you head out?
Why did you leave us?
Did you lack the love?
Did you not care enough to stay?
Oh
An interjection expressing emotion
Hide from our eyes now
You are avoiding us
The reflection of
The image we see of you

Everyone keeps talking about the solo, and for good reason, but I still can’t get over the fact how good Mark’s voice is in this song. It blows me away just how good of a vocalist he really is, and this has to be one of my favorite vocal performances ever
