San Simeon
Goldfinger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wherever I stay
My mind will always be
Wherever I go
Wherever I stay
My mind will always be
San Simeon
They tried to rob me
Take away my integrity, now
They tried to sneak me
Take away my dignity
But not my memory
Wherever I go
Wherever I stay
My mind will always be
Wherever I go
Wherever I stay
My mind will always be
San Simeon
They tried to blame me
Point their little fingers at me
They tried to shame me
But that just masks their jealousy
But not my memory
Wherever I go
Wherever I stay
My mind will always be
Wherever I go, wherever I stay
My mind will always be
Wherever I go, wherever I stay
My mind will always be
San Simeon
They try to rob me
Take away my integrity now
They try to snake me
Take away my dignity
But not my memory
Wherever I go, wherever I stay
My mind will always be
Wherever I go, wherever I stay
My mind will always be
San Simeon
They try to blame me
Point their little fingers at me
They try to save me
But that just masks their jealousy
But not my memory
Wherever I go, wherever I stay
My mind will always be
Wherever I go, wherever I stay
My mind will always be
San Simeon
Take me back [Repeat x7]
San Simeon
No matter what they say
What they do to me
They can't touch me
They can't control me
One thing that they'll never touch
My holy memory
No, not my memory
Now take me back
Take me back [Repeat x3]
Now take me back
Take me back [Repeat x3]
Wherever I go, I'll stay
And my mind will always be
Wherever I go, I'll stay
And my mind will always be
Wherever I go, wherever I stay
My mind will always be
Wherever I go, wherever I stay
My mind will always be
San Simeon
The song "San Simeon" by Goldfinger is about the enduring power of memories and the indomitable nature of the human spirit. The lyrics evoke a sense of defiance in the face of adversity, with the singer asserting that no matter what challenges they may face in life, their mind will always be focused on San Simeon, a place that holds significant memories for them. Throughout the song, the singer describes attempts by others to undermine their integrity, dignity, and reputation, but convinces us that none of these things can erase their memories or change who they are.
The repetition of the phrase "Wherever I go, wherever I stay, my mind will always be San Simeon" serves to underscore the theme of the song, which is that no matter where life takes us or what happens to us, our memories and experiences have a profound impact that cannot be erased. The lyrics also suggest that memories can serve as a source of strength and resilience in times of difficulty, allowing us to persevere and triumph over even the most challenging obstacles.
