Generational Dust by John Moreland
You don't know who to trust, generational dust
Fight it if you must, there's no end
Devil's deepest blue, connecting me to you
Love will see you through, I know it
It's the perfect gift, all your cherished myths
Hey, can I get a lift if you're going?
'Cause nothing much goes down
In this purgatorial town
You mostly wait around not knowing
And we're all chasing the same carrot
With the choices we inherit
Cry till you can't bear it anymore
And the character you're playin'
Believes what he is saying
But honestly, the acting is a chore
You worry about your soul
You dig a deeper hole
It's only rock n' roll
But you like it
Looking back upon the family
In your grey Nintendo memory
Ever chasing after light of day
But the darker ground we covered
Decided or discovered
Turned us into who we are today
Choking on your fate
Great city, shitty state
Yeah, I'm blooming late, what of it?
They mourn their faded youth
They wage a war on truth
Stay and be the proof, or get above it
You get all the lyrics cuz they all apply to them so hard that I couldn't just snip it.
There is so much unsaid pain in this song and the wish that your son will not be like you but it's too late since they are already your child and doomed from that title. And the son loves you but there will always be that bitterness that comes with loving someone that hurt you.
