Into Dust Lyrics
When everythings coming up roses
The thorns will still leave scars on my hands
Just pour me a scotch and a soda
I'll get drunk and I'll act like a man
I gotta get some of that magic
I hear the voices calling
A song I dare not trust
And all my sleepless dreaming
It all turns into dust
I stopped all the screaming and crying
And yet I still don't understand
When all that you live for is dying
An hourglass empty of sand
I gotta be someone less tragic
I hear the wind is calling
A song I dare not trust
And all my sleepless dreaming
It all turns into dust
In lifeless shadows dreaming
My life is left un-feeling
And yet beyong this door
There must be more
My freedoms become too expensive
The price is much more than you see
But freedom creates an illusion
The freedom to save me from me
I gotta get some of that magic
I hear the voices calling
The thorns will still leave scars on my hands
Just pour me a scotch and a soda
I'll get drunk and I'll act like a man
A song I dare not trust
And all my sleepless dreaming
It all turns into dust
And yet I still don't understand
When all that you live for is dying
An hourglass empty of sand
A song I dare not trust
And all my sleepless dreaming
It all turns into dust
My life is left un-feeling
And yet beyong this door
There must be more
The price is much more than you see
But freedom creates an illusion
The freedom to save me from me

A bit confusing and odd, it seems to portray a struggle with inner demons, disillusionment, and the constant search for meaning and fulfillment in life. It suggests a longing for something more and a yearning for a sense of purpose. The character in the song longs for a better way of life and to become a man but all his efforts seemingly go nowhere and leave him still stuck with voices he knows not to trust or he'll be further cast astray. It serves as an example of how people down on their luck, through some bad decisions, got stuck in life and are trying to better themselves but progress is slow and seemingly pointless. A cautionary tale to make better decisions in life.
