Redlight King - When The Dust Settles Down Lyrics
Been up and down these streets
I've seen both sides of town
I've been through the hardship
The long way around
The point of no return
I spent a lot of time with all seven deadly sins
Hated who I was
Who I became
Lost my faith in God
Put my faith in cocaine
Cheated on my girlfriends
Lied to myself
Put my whole family through hell
When the dust settles down
You're runnin' on empty
Broken within
When the dust settles down
There ain't nothin' left
Turn it around
Start over again
And when you have nothin' left
Find out what you're worth
I came through the storm
Stopped diggin' in the dirt
I rewound the tape
Saw through the evil and hate
Started believin' that I had what it takes
I went back to the start
Workin' full shifts through the worst shit
Kickin' carpet and bouncin' punks at the bar
I got a new life now
Now that I'm legit
You can call the cops man
It don't mean shit
When the dust settles down
You've seen where you've been
You're runnin' on empty
Broken within
When the dust settles down
There ain't nothin' left
Turn it around
Start over again
[x2]
Start over again
Start over again
Start over again
Start over again
When the dust settles down
You've seen where you've been
You're runnin' on empty
Broken within
When the dust settles down
There ain't nothin' left
Turn it around
Start over again

30 days sober. Time for change. We are not alone ever
I want you.
Awesome song
"The devil's teeth stay sharp and they leave there mark and everything you built fucking falls apart if you made it this far your right back where you start" is the most truthful verse ever.
Can relate to the tone of the song but not the being a coke head but everyone got their problems
Why doesn’t this song have more views? This is real music.
maybe youre waiting for the dust to settle or whatever...
I lost my mom in 2012, these guys got me through it. I come here from time, time when feeling down, feeling lost or want to quit. Thanks Redlight Kings
🌟'brushing of my knees once again'🌟
It sure is hard to come back from being broken within and running on empty but it helps to know that you're not alone. Love this band.
First heard this in rehab. I was blown away...
very beautiful song:)
story of my life...
goose bump worthy song
Redlight King Bullet In My Hand Rocks. Wish I Could Have Seen Them Live. Ya Buddy
This song is dope.. It hitts home. "When you have nothing left you find out what ur worth"..
Been up and down these streets, seen both sides of town. I've been through the hardship, the long way around.
They pointing on my *Something*, spend a lot of time with all 7 deadly sins.
Hated who I was, who I became. Lost my faith in guy, put my faith in cocaine.
Cheated on my girlfriend, lied to myself,
put my whole family through a hell.
When the dust settles down, you've seen where you've been, running on empty, broken within.
When the dust settles down, there ain't nothing left, turn it around, start over again.
When you have nothing left, you find out what you're worth, I came through the storm, stop digging in the dirt.
I rewound the tape, and saw through the evil and hate, started believing that I had what it takes.
I went back to the start, working full shifts, through the worst shitgfdskj,fdnbsjhfhdagkj,sndfgkusj,mfsgkj
Okay, I know, I gave up... My hands hurt. If someone could correct me on mistakes and the word I didn't catch... In a kind way, that would be awesome! Thanks.
i thought the last paragraph was part of the song lol
@Ian McKeever X33
they point at my something is "the point of no return. just where I begin"
and its God not guy
@Ian McKeever Yeahh, I'm guessing I tried to write that but failed. I'm hoping so, anyways XD
When The Dust Settles Down" by Redlight King ~ aWesome
Life Is "Crazee" and so am I..."I defineately try to Never judge Anyone unless I am able to Walk Beside Them Without Any Shoes"...NEVER say "Never" because It Will be. "That Monkey On Your Back!"...
I am no fan of rap music~I detest the profanity and the vulgarity~but my oldest grandson convinced me to listen to this song. I like this song because it's done by an artist who can actually sing, while also telling an actual story. It sounds like it was written by someone who lived it~give it a listen if you're interested.
Thanks for giving this a listen.
It did happen to him breh
Listen to "My life" acoustic version by bliss n esso. think you will like it
+austin p major props for knowing bliss n eso my life and addicted are my favorites
this is the personal story of the singer. he had a hard time with his cocoine adiction... this music got him out! i really love the rest of the album two! his special song for Neil Young.... Also a great story behind this song!
my anthem in life as of now " while the dust is settling down ;o) "
ty
52 years old ..nice to hear this..
I'm a coke head, I've lost my friends, my family and my motivation in life. Yet when I listen to this song, I have hope that I can fix my life. I stopped doing coke a week ago, deleted all my contacts for it, and I'm trying to make a mense with people. Music is my religion.
that is awesome!!!! I was addicted too and been clean for 5 years!!!! you can do it!
take it one day at a time and your life will soon be awesome Congrats
im also a cokehead and an alcoholic. i went to a nice rehab facility and i heard this song during yoga. i was about to burst into tears. one day at a time man you can do it. god, grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change, the courage to change the things i can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
Keep trying I had my dad doing coke its not good plz don't be like him
this song is absolutely beautiful
I can not get enough of this music....
It's all about the recovery....nice bounce Kaz. Glad you didn't totally pancake, that would have really pissed us off. lace 'em up pal, GAME ON AGAIN.

51 years young Canadian. never give up
Perfect song
I want to know if this amazing song has already a video, and if it hasn't, know the reason of that,
but damn, this song is fu**** sentimental and deserves the best video of all their songs, i think......maybe they have better songs, but this is special :S
Does anybody know the chords to this if so email me at [email protected] thanx guys
this inspires me to keep going after what I've been though an to never give up....
im running on empty just waitin on the dust settle...broken but still standin
Damn.....
Dust don't settle till your in the ground.
Seeing these guys Friday night! I'm super stoked. I've been a huge fan since I heard Bullet In My Hand on Octane!
This is a really thought provoking song. and I think this song will age really well, as the more life experience you have the more power this song will have on you, and the more it will mean
B, C#m, Em are the chords I think lol

yeah i know
@thomashazelton200 wtf is this that on every fucking video with great music some jackass has to start a comment with "im only 15 years old..." ???
im only 15 years old and he sings great songs all his songs have something about life
This song makes me cry...congrats Kaz
A buddy of mine died last week at the age of 33 and he would always say" When the dust settles down and all is said and done... I never really knew what he meant, Until know. I think he lead me to this song. Miss you James.R.I.P.
Caleb joe

@Digitalmaddness canada i think
@ryeryemoon it actually a good thing to get hurt (not too badly) because when they heal the bone is thicker and stronger so yea thats WHY we get stronger bones as we grow
The red-light kings are truly something for the pain. They get it, and sometimes all you really need is for someone else out there to get it. Thank you red-light kings for existing.
People need to stop complaining about how music is these days and just enjoy music like this while it lasts
