About This Song

The song "" by encapsulates a profound exploration of loneliness, heartache, and the passage of time. The title translates to "Dust," symbolizing the remnants of a relationship that has left behind emotional scars. The lyrics express a deep yearning and reflect on memories of love that are both intoxicating and painful. The imagery of time passingindicated through phrases like 'the leftover light of time' and 'the chaotic pollen on the wall'evokes a sense of melancholy, as the protagonist grapples with the remnants of love and isolation after a painful breakup.

The juxtaposition between the thrilling highs of love and the inevitable lows of sacrifice speaks to a universal experience of love that many can relate to. The heartfelt expressions, such as 'who makes me covered in dust,' intimate a longing for past connection while simultaneously acknowledging the weight of emotional baggage that comes with it.
