This song boggles me all the while it enchants me. I always get caught on the "I'm wounded by dust" lyric. The Bible says "All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again." (in the book of Ecclesiastes, but also in Genesis and probably other places). The song always brings me back to the notion that what hurts most, often, being humans is our impermanence.
