Associations from Vulkanaska/I'm not that easy impressed

Vulkanaska, ashes to ashes
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust... means that we come from dust; we return to dust.
Dust to dust, dirt to dirt. Rubbish is rubbish, snuff is snuff.

A famous Swedish poem of Gustaf Fröding in Swenglish:

Idealism and Realism
I am fed up with today's conflicts
between dirt and stars
they split our brains
lots of lies when pictures of gravel
are seen as art and beauty
A vision , lovely and bright
in the sky is as true as a mirage.
But rubbish is rubbish and snuff is snuff
even in golden boxes
but roses in a broken vase
always, always are roses
