Gold In Them Hills
酷玩(Coldplay) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But maybe it's the perfect day
Even though the bills are piling
And maybe Lady Luck ain't smiling
But if we'd only open our eyes
We'd see the blessings in disguise
That all the rain clouds are fountains
There's gold in them hills
There's gold in them hills
So don't lose heart
Give the day a chance to start
Every now and then life says
Where do you think you're going so fast
We're apt to think it cruel but sometimes
It's a case of cruel to be kind
And if we'd get up off our knees
Why then we'd see the forest for the trees
And we'd see the new sun rising
Over the hills on the horizon
There's gold in them hills
There's gold in them hills
So don't lose faith
Give the world a chance to say...
A word or two, my friend
There's no telling how the day might end
And we'll never know until we see
That there's gold in them hills
There's gold in them hills
So don't lose heart
Give the day a chance to start
There's gold in them hills...
There's gold in them hills...
In "Gold In Them Hills," Coldplay delivers a message of hope and optimism in the midst of difficult times. The song begins with the acknowledgement that life can be tough, with bills piling up and luck seeming to be against us. However, the chorus invites us to consider that there is something of value to be found even in the toughest of situations - "gold in them hills" - and that we should not lose heart but instead give the day a chance to start.
The second verse of the song continues this theme, observing the way that sometimes life's challenges and setbacks are actually blessings in disguise. It suggests that if we can change our perspective and "get up off our knees," we can see the bigger picture and the new opportunities that are available to us. The chorus repeats once more, reminding us to have faith and to be open to the unexpected ways that the day might end.
Overall, "Gold In Them Hills" is a song that encourages us to be hopeful and brave, even when things are difficult. It acknowledges the struggles and hardships of life, but reminds us that there is always potential for growth, change, and even beauty in the midst of those struggles.

There is a difference between Cultural appropriation and cultural appreciation they are appreciating how beautiful this culture really is
@bri1550
Cultural appropriation is wearing the culture...it's not appreciating when beyoncé is here wearing cultural pieces. Appreciating is eating the food and learning about it.
@kailey1928
+Brianna Moreno appreciating isnt just about the food
@Sonmmmxuan
+Brianna Moreno there's no rule to ban a foreigner to wear traditional customes, as long as they don't downgrade its value.
