“Dust Bunny” seems to be about feeling stagnant and stuck in life, and the metaphor of a “dust bunny” is used to represent the accumulation of this feeling over time like dust in a forgotten corner of a room that isn’t cleaned.
[Chorus]
How long 'til it comes? Pull the weight off my tongue
And where will it land in the harsh beating sun?
All the lies, oh my God, can't just trust anyone
And how high can it go 'til it sinks to the ground?
[Verse]
Here on your own
You're seeing a ghost
Can't undo what's been done
Forever no more
Stacks of clothing fill your room
You can't find one thing to return
Let go of it all
Begin the slow withdrawal
[Chorus]
How long 'til it comes? Pull the weight off my tongue
Better know where you'll land in the harsh beating sun
In the air up above, won't you watch it erupt
And the dust cover up what it was, it was
[Outro]
Now the sun is down
Now the sun is down (Sun is down)
Now the sun is down (Can't, won't find me now, can't, won't find me now)
