Dust Lyrics

Blades of grass
That shiver as I pass
The worlds asleep but I'm awake
I'm walking home again
Morning stars
Left my shoes back at the bar
Didn't know my house was quite this far
So far from anywhere
Strange how the ground
Tips upside down
And morning it starts without me
Did I let you down
Should I come around
Would that make things better baby
You and I
We get along just fine
But oh we both love to be right
Its just not possible
Change your mind or maybe I'll change mine
But either way we don't arrive at something
Plausible
I'll see ya round when you're in town
And you can pretend to hate me
All trace of love
Has turned to dust
Which I've been collecting lately

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This reminds me of me, walking home after a night out, leaving in a hurry cos things got out of your control and having too much time to think on the way back. Then waking up tomorrow afternoon and not being sure what happened but having a horrible feeling something went really wrong and then the moment when you remember and realising everything's lost and wanting it back and not wanting it to be gone
