Dust

Haelos' song 'Dust' delves into the complexities of love, loss, and emotional detachment. The lyrics paint a picture of a relationship that has lost its vitality, with the singer expressing a profound sense of numbness and inability to sustain the love that once existed. The recurring line 'I can't feel enough' underscores this emotional void, suggesting that the weight of the relationship has become too burdensome to bear. The imagery of 'shadows entwined' and being 'alone on the mountain' evokes a sense of isolation and the passage of time, further emphasizing the disconnection between the lovers.

The chorus, with its repeated assertion that 'this love ain't mine,' highlights a sense of disownership and detachment. This phrase suggests that the love in question no longer belongs to the singer, or perhaps never truly did. The mention of 'leopard and lace' and 'faces that tore me' introduces a sense of past wounds and guardedness, indicating that previous experiences have left the singer wary and unable to fully engage in the present relationship. The line 'weeping in dust' poignantly captures the sorrow and desolation that accompany the end of a meaningful connection.

The song's bridge offers a glimmer of hope with the lines 'It's not over, just go now, what goes 'round comes back around.' This suggests a cyclical nature of love and life, hinting that while this particular relationship may be ending, the possibility of renewal and new beginnings remains. Haelos' ethereal soundscape, characterized by haunting vocals and atmospheric production, complements the introspective and melancholic tone of the lyrics, creating a deeply immersive listening experience.
