Into Dust Lyrics

Cover art for Into Dust lyrics by Mazzy Star

This is a song about a person who has left their loved one, whether it be through death or otherwise. Usually it's the other way around, usually it's the one who has been left that is put into song. Turning into dust means they're starting to 'forget' about each other, they're setting aside the memories, they're starting to move on to different things-different people. They're becoming strangers, they're turning into dust.
