Turning into dust

I came across this song watching the most recent episode of 'The OC' which, incidentally, was a debut for me.
The song captivated me almost immediately - a haunting sound so poignant and a lyric so poetic and ponderous.

Into Dust
Mazzy Star
(So Tonight That I Might See)

Still falling
Breathless and on again
Inside today
Beside me today
A round broken in two
'Til your eyes shed
Into dust
Like two strangers
Turning into dust
'Till my hand shook with the way I fear

I could possibly be fading
Or have something more to gain
I could feel myself growing colder
I could feel myself under your fate
Under your fate

It was you breathless and tall
I could feel my eyes turning into dust
And two strangers turning into dust
Turning into dust
