Turn to Dust
Embracing Mortality: "Turn to Dust" by Skullcrack Reveals the Insignificance of Human Existence
Lyrics
There will come a day when this all goes away
Anticipating a future day when everything ceases to exist.
Our world will deteriorate, disintegrate
Describing the decay and breakdown of our world.
The human race will be erased
Predicting the extinction of the human race.
All you’re worth will die with the earth
Suggesting that individual value diminishes along with the Earth's demise.
Ours brains, our guts are meaningless
Stating that our intellectual and visceral aspects lack significance.
It’s the end of us, return to nothingness
Highlighting the inevitable end of humanity, leading to nothingness.
Everything we know will be crushed
Expressing the destruction of everything familiar.
Everything we are, it all turns to dust
Emphasizing the transient nature of existence, culminating in dust.
It’s arrogant to think we are permanent
Denouncing the arrogance of believing in permanent human significance.
Our short stint is insignificant
Highlighting the brevity and insignificance of human existence.
Ours brains and our guts are meaningless
Reiterating that both intellectual and visceral aspects lack meaning.
It’s the end of us, return to nothingness
Reiterating the inevitable end of humanity, leading to nothingness.
It won’t last, so here’s your chance
Asserting the impermanence of the current state and urging action.
Let’s go wild, make it worth your while
Encouraging living fully and making life worthwhile given its transience.
Do you think you’re civilized
Questioning the perception of being civilized.
Devised by divine intelligence
Suggesting human creation by a divine intelligence.
Just ocean sludge walking upright
Depicting humans as advanced beings emerging from primal origins.
Our existence is insignificant
Reiterating the insignificance of human existence in the grand scheme.
