Hell Dust
Dance with Shadows: Unveiling Life's Darkest Symphony
Lyrics
Another pile of broken bones is all I see
Observing a scene of destruction and decay, likely metaphorical or symbolic.
Why you would do that to yourself is beyond me
Expressing confusion or disbelief about self-destructive actions.
Happiness is a warm gun, is that your belief?
Questioning someone's belief in the pursuit of happiness, referencing potential dangers.
And if happy leads to death, then now you're free
Suggesting that pursuing happiness may lead to negative consequences, possibly death.
Now you're free,
Reiterating the idea that the individual is now free from the consequences of their actions.
Now you're free, yeah
-You light your fire;
Describing the destructive nature of the individual's desires and addressing potential denial.
The charred spoon of your false desire
-Go ahead and call me a liar
-Go count the cost
Encouraging the person to reflect on the consequences of their actions.
You did this to yourself
Blaming the person for their situation, mentioning neglect of self-awareness and responsibilities.
Stacked all your problems on the shelf
-You took a ride the whole nine yards
-And never bothered to check your cards
-Do not detest me when I say,
Warning against wasting life and expressing a sense of detachment or criticism.
"It's your life that you wish away"
-Don't let the darkness shroud the light
Encouraging the individual to overcome darkness and fight for a better life.
Feel for the door and come out to fight
-Reach for the door and come out to fight
-Another day you waste away
Highlighting the wastefulness of time and the negative effects of substance abuse.
You got no time, ooh
-And you sleep on empty bottles
-And say you feel fine
-You've done things no one can do
Recognizing past achievements but expressing disappointment in current actions.
Don't you see
-And if you were once a hero, you ain't one to me
-You ain't one to me,
Reiterating disappointment in the person's loss of heroic qualities.
You ain't one to me, yeah
-You light your fire;
Repeating the description of destructive desires and challenging the person's honesty.
The charred spoon of your false desire
-Go ahead and call me a liar
-Go count the cost
Encouraging a reckoning of the costs of one's actions.
You did this to yourself
Reiterating personal responsibility and the neglect of addressing life's challenges.
Stacked all your problems on the shelf
-You took a ride the whole nine yards
-And never bothered to check your cards
-Do not detest me when I say,
Requesting understanding when conveying the harsh reality of wasted life.
"It's your life that you wish away"
-Don't let the darkness shroud the light
Encouraging the person to emerge from darkness and confront life's challenges.
Feel for the door and come out to fight
-Reach for the door and come out to fight
-The horse gallops like thunder
Using vivid imagery of a horse galloping to symbolize a journey to and from a dark place.
The horse gallops like thunder
-To hell he goes
-To hell he goes
-To hell dust and back
-To hell dust and back
-To hell dust and back
-To hell dust and back
-Another pile of broken bones is all I see
Repeating the initial observation of destruction and brokenness.
You really didn't need to break yourself
Expressing the unnecessary nature of self-inflicted harm.
Come back to me
An invitation or plea for the person to return, possibly seeking redemption or reconciliation.
