Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My father told me who’s the enemy
But I don’t know what to believe
This war is killing all my dreams
Trying to live just like a child
But I see people dying like flies
Running to find somewhere to hide
My mother took me out of school
Said the teacher was a fool
Gave me this tool to speak to you
So I shared pictures of this shame
The things I’ve seen are too hard to explain
There’s too much violence too much pain
The sun the clouds the skies are grey
Even all the shadows
The nights the days the lights are grey
Someone stole the colours from my sight
My house the stores the walls are grey
Everything is rubble
My face my eyes my hands are grey
Everything is covered by grey dust
My brothers cry to be embraced
The holy books are violated
The bombs are like the falling rain
There is no silence there’s no sleep
The only thing that I can hear
Is heavy shelling over me
It’s hard to tell you what’s the truth
So many friends killed in the school
I want to know who stole my youth
Can’t say if I will post again
Tomorrow we may all be dead
We can’t go out we can’t escape
The sun the clouds the skies are grey
Even all the shadows
The nights the days the lights are grey
Someone stole the colours from my sight
My house the stores the walls are grey
Everything is rubble
My face my eyes my hands are grey
Everything is covered by grey dust
Please help me if you can hear me please set me free
If you can read me remember me
We all need peace
This can’t be real
The sun the clouds the skies are grey
Even all the shadows
The nights the days the lights are grey
Someone stole the colours from my sight
My house the stores the walls are grey
Everything is rubble




My face my eyes my hands are grey
Everything is covered by grey dust

Overall Meaning

The song "Dust" by DJ Dust is a powerful narrative about the tragic effects of war on innocent people, particularly children. The verse opens with the singer grappling with the confusing and overwhelming notion of enemy, as passed down by their father, but unsure of what to believe. The singer laments the death of their dreams amidst the horrid reality of war, a child trying to live just like one, yet forced to see people dying like flies, and the constant need to find somewhere to hide. Their mother rescues them from school, deeming the teacher a fool, and instead gives the child a tool to speak out.


The chorus serves as a summation of the stark imagery the child is experiencing. The line "the sun, the clouds, the skies are grey" reflects the emotional and mental state of the child living in a war-torn region, robbed of color, and blinded by the bleakness of reality. The rest of the verse highlights the extent of the destruction and loss of life, with everything covered by grey dust. The child expresses a desire for help, for someone to hear them and set them free, as they themselves wonder if they will live to see another day. The song ends with a call for peace, reminding listeners that we all need it, and that the reality of the child in the song should not be real.

It's like gold dust
You hear me coming through your speakers
You see me mashing up your airwaves
I know you can't get enough of my sound
It's like gold dust
You hear me coming through your speakers
You see me flying off your airwaves
I know you can't get enough of my sound
There's no place to hurt yourself
The fight I'm gonna get it
Tallest running for me
Baby, you're gonna regret it
I can't understand why you can't free yourself, let it
Go, go, go, go
Got you in my Palm, now listen good, you can't escape it
Bring you to ma world and hold you, see if you can take it
Don't you be afraid, I know you're strong enough to make it
Go, go, go
It's like gold dust
You hear me coming through your speakers
You see me mashin' up your air waves
I know you can't get enough of my sound
It's like gold dust
You hear me coming through your speakers
You see me blaggin' up your air waves
I know you can't get enough of my sound
Everything your life's been searching for's in this direction
Come a little closer
Don't you feel the intersection?
We gon' take you down and then we gonna keep you sweating
Go, go, go, go
Take you two around, you never known it's non-existant
You won't hear it coming, no matter how hard you listen
Can't predict the highway, bring a replay our position
Go, go, go, go
I don't know where you run from, what you're running from, whoa
I don't know where you run from, what you're running from, whoa
I don't know where you run from, what you're running from, whoa
Oh, you won't bring up yourself on fly
People, put your hands up in the air, I know you like it
Don't you fight it, I can see you're high and all excited
Flying through the night, we going up, beter hold tight it
Go, go, go, go
Now we got the starline and the g-tha to desire
Let me see you jump up, come on, with me let's go higher
Climbin' up the speakers, we gonna set this place on fire
Go, go, go, it's like
Gold dust
You hear me coming through your speakers
You see me mashin' up your air waves
I know you can't get enough of my sound
It's like gold dust
You hear me coming through your speakers
You see me blaggin up your air waves
I know you can't get enough of my sound
You keep runnin' and you're runnin'
And you're runnin' and you're runnin' away, away, away, boy
You keep runnin' and you're runnin'
And you're runnin' and you're runnin' away, away, away
You keep runnin' and you're runnin'
And you're runnin' and you're runnin' away, away, away, boy
You keep runnin' and you're runnin'
