Dust Lyrics

I think this song is about losing one's religion and finding out that there is no god hence the:

"'cause I believed in the Lord, but He don't show up anymore..."

The

"So go on tear it up Black and cold with the dust"

probably refers to the bible.

He goes on to say that, if you reject everything "sinful" (according to religion), you reject that which makes us human.

So ultimately, I think it's about accepting people with all their flaws and quirks :) instead of casting them aside beacause you are dictated so by a certain system.
