Dust In The Wind Lyrics
I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment's gone
All my dreams, pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind.
Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do, crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see
Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind
[Now] Don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away, and all your money won't another minute buy.
Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind
Dust in the wind, everything is dust in the wind.
We are rather insignificant in the grand scheme of the universe. Our lives are short and fragile. We are as dust that can be swirled off the earth.
Me and my dad were sitting in a lounge and he told me he wanted this song played at his memorial. A month or two later he died suddenly. It will always be one of my favourite songs.
@cecelia1979 Peace be upon your dad's soul. He has good taste. I also want this song to be played on my memorial/funeral.

I believe it is about a man learning his has little time left to live, and hes summing up life by the things he is feling and seeing at that fleeting moment - as he realizes he dying.
as he lies there in thought,fights the urge to sleep - he dozes off dreams
awakes to a song he knows only so well, and realizes it all has very little meaning.....
:) Good interpretation. F.Y.I.-There is a little options box @ the top of the window when you type your stuff,it'll give you the option of whether it is your opinion,interpretation or whatever. ;)

With this song,if I was not suicidal before listening to it,then I am afterwards. It always reminds of the Stephen King "They Come Back",and the kid on the bike gets run down while listening to this song,so ya know I NEVER listen to it when I ride my bike.

Although Steve Walsh turned in a great vocal performance on this song it was written by Kerry Livgren. Kerry Livgren had been reading a book about Native American poetry and this was his inspiration for the lyrics. The melody came from a finger picking exercise he had been playing on an acoustic guitar.

It’s relaxing and realistic My new fav <3 Still on 2020
One of my favorite songs...Kerry Livgren wrote this song a couple years before his conversion to Christianity. I love the resemblance to the book of Ecclesiastes "Everything is meaningless! A chasing after the wind."
This is my favorite song in my entire life. Heard it since the 1970's. Regardless of what is happening in my life this song grounds me... Nothing anyone does can be taken into the next life... We come from dust and return to dust... Blessings..
This song means a lot to me cause the person I love told me about it. It really makes me worry cause as the song says: dust in the wind, may be of our relationship, and this is the last thing I would want in my life.
I love this song it reminds me what we are
" 'I'm significant!"...screamed the dust speck." (Calvin and Hobbes)
i'd just like to say that this song means a lot to me. it's so very true, it was a favorite of one of my best friend's. she recently died in a skiing accident in colorado. we miss her so much!! and this song is played a lot just to remind us of her -- it's SO true!! my uncle also used to play with kansas a lot ... they were 'tight'. :)
this is a great song, it means a lot to me.
