lyrics

Chorus

It gets heavier to live

Life has no face to deal with

Dreams—pen inked with drugs

Aspirations shattered by time

Verse 1

Caught between fact and fiction

I drift into it through the night

Dawn pulls the curtain, strips the colors away

Leaves only the cold outline of what I believed

Verse 2

On paper, everything's golden, bright

Like dreams are lined up to arrive

But life reveals another face

It's random, not earned by pride

I'm tired of waiting; they just laugh

They call the love of my dreams dust

Who gave them the right to mock?

Chorus

It gets heavier to live

Life has no face to deal with

Dreams—pen inked with drugs

Aspirations shattered by time

Bridge

Fate plays whatever game it wants

Giving little , taking better

It's a losing proposition

I planted seeds on barren ground

Cast aside , a name on stone

Who'll pay to bury me at last?

Buried long before I die

Verse 3

Look at the care home—some wait for a first bright cry

Others watch a last breath fade

Both hearts ache the same

Life is acid—it never scars two surfaces the same

Everyone wants another life. Mentally, they're living in other people's highlights

Chorus

It gets heavier to live

Life has no face to deal with

Dreams—pen inked with drugs

Aspirations shattered by time

Meaning

Dust is about the weight of living when every problem seems to lead to another one. You survive one thing, only to find something else waiting for you.

The song explores the frustration of watching dreams fade while life keeps moving, the feeling of planting seeds in ground that refuses to grow anything, and the cruel randomness of fate. Sometimes you work, hope, and wait—and still end up with nothing.

But Dust isn’t only about having problems. It’s also about how we make ourselves feel worse by looking at everyone else’s best moments. Even when life is relatively okay, we compare our reality to somebody else’s highlights and start believing we’re falling behind.

From dreams turning into dust to people feeling buried long before they actually die, the song looks at the ugly side of existence—the weight, the comparison, the waiting, and the feeling that life keeps getting heavier.

“Dust” is about wanting more from life while slowly losing the strength to believe that more is coming.
