Dust and Rocks
Yearning Windows: Echoes of Loneliness in Dust and Rocks
Lyrics
Well she's waiting, by the window
She is waiting for someone by the window.
Worth a fading tear
Her worth is compared to a fading tear.
That will slip in to tomorrow
The tear symbolizes time passing into the future.
And have no fear
Encouraging the idea of facing the future without fear.
She may look back and blame you
Suggesting potential blame from her towards the speaker.
But you only blame yourself,
The speaker acknowledges self-blame in the situation.
And what good would it all do you
Raising a question about the effectiveness of self-blame.
If you thought she blamed herself
Questioning the value of blaming oneself if she does not.
It's a lonely life, as bits of dust and rocks
Life is depicted as lonely, akin to bits of dust and rocks.
When you shake it off - it is all you have
Shaking off difficulties is the only option, and that becomes one's entire existence.
In the time it takes, to find another space
The time it takes to move on and find new opportunities.
Get to live again, she'll run and run
Emphasizing the running and escaping as a way to live again.
Still she's waiting, by the window, with a fading tear.
Reiteration of her waiting by the window with a fading tear.
Well she looks upon, high, flying silver dream-
She observes a high-flying silver dream, possibly representing unattainable aspirations.
How she wishes how
Expressing her desire or longing for something.
She could climb aboard, never coming back
Wishing to leave everything behind and never return.
Turn on it all
Suggesting a decision to change or escape from the current situation.
Still she's waiting, by the window
Reiteration of her waiting by the window despite everything.
She has no fear.
Emphasizing her lack of fear in this waiting.
