A Speck of Dust

Liner Notes

This is a relatively 60s sounding pop tune about not really knowing your direction in life, but knowing you’ll be fine eventually. Certainly based on personal experience in some capacity.

Lyrics

Cling onto the floor like it’s my mattress
Look up to the sky like it’s the answer

I wish that I could change the truth
And I wish I could smoke the proof
I wish that I could simply let it loose

I know not where I’m going
But I think I’m fine
I am spending half of all my time
To drown out, drown out
Drown out the sounds
We’re just specks of dust in the grand scheme of it all

We drove around the town a bit to cool things down
Met some people who were from across the sea

They hoped that they could find a place
A place to live in and embrace
And planned to spend their day to day
Working till they fried their brains

And I just couldn't bring myself to let them down
So I just backed away in order to
Drown out drown out
Block out these sounds
And wander carelessly for a little while

And things are dragging me down
They push me around
I can’t get up off the bed

And I know not where I’m going right now
But I’ll be fine
For now I’m letting half of all time
Just carry on
And see the sun
Even if I’m just a speck of dust in it all
Even if I’m just a speck of dust in it all
(To see the light and try but fail)
(Let it wash away, just let it go away)
