Into Dust
Crushing Diamonds: Unveiling the Terrifying Quest for Self-Worth
Lyrics
Clarity, doesn't come so easily
Expressing difficulty in achieving clarity.
Might for you but it don't for me
Suggesting that what works for others may not work for the speaker.
How'd I mess this up
Reflecting on a mistake or error.
You know I'd pretend
Acknowledging a tendency to pretend or fake emotions.
That I don't feel so bothered by this
Conveying a sense of being bothered despite pretending otherwise.
Fill a cup and I'd drown it in
Using substances to cope with emotions.
As I replace my blood
Metaphorically describing a self-destructive behavior.
And I'd never solve a thing
Expressing frustration at not finding solutions.
And ignore what's eating me
Choosing to ignore internal struggles.
Stay in hiding like that's what I deserve
Feeling undeserving and hiding from the world.
Cuz I don't know when to stay, or when I should walk away
Uncertainty about when to stay or leave in relationships.
Unfortunately out of all this hurt, all I've learned is
Despite experiencing pain, the only lesson learned is negative.
I don't want no love, I keep that closed up
Rejecting the idea of love and keeping emotions guarded.
I'm terrified that I'm just never gonna be enough
Fearful of never meeting expectations.
I don't want no love, I tried more than once
Previous attempts at love have been unsuccessful.
Cuz I take diamonds in my hands and crush them into dust
Metaphorically crushing precious things (diamonds) into dust.
Oh, Oh, Oh
Repeating the metaphor of turning diamonds into dust.
Diamonds into dust
-Oh, oh, oh
-Diamonds into
-Tell me tell me do you pick up arms
Asking questions about self-defense mechanisms and hiding flaws.
Load your automatics to protect your heart
-Stop the love before it ever starts, yeah
-Tell me do you try to hide your flaws
-Terrified maybe they will learn to talk
-And they'll reveal all of your damaged parts
-Well you are not alone, darling
Assuring someone that they are not alone in their struggles.
Those feelings just grow, on me
-Swalling me whole, hardly
-Anybody knows, cuz nobody gets close
-I won't drag you down this road
Declining to involve someone in the speaker's challenges.
Because as I said before, before, before
Reiterating a previous statement about avoiding love.
I don't want no love, I keep that closed up
Repeating the fear of not being enough and crushing love.
I'm terrified that I'm just never gonna be enough
-I don't want no love, I tried more than once
-Cuz I take diamonds in my hands and crush them into dust
-Oh, Oh, Oh,
Repeating the metaphor of turning diamonds into dust.
Diamonds into dust
-Oh, oh, oh
-Diamonds into
-I can't feel what I felt before
Expressing an inability to feel as before due to brokenness.
When I watched you walk out my door
-I can't feel that anymore
-I'm too broken to play that game
-I only have myself to blame
-And I don't want more of the same
-I don't want no love, I keep that closed up
Reiterating the rejection of love and fear of inadequacy.
I'm terrified that I'm just never gonna be enough
-I don't want no love, I tried more than once
-Cuz I take diamonds in my hands and crush them into dust
-Oh, Oh, Oh
Final repetition of the metaphor of turning diamonds into dust.
Diamonds into dust
-Oh, oh, oh
-Diamonds Into Dust
