A.F.R.O Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
until I hear this straight from you
Well I'm mixing colors, mixing signals, missing you
I've tried a thousand times
Breathe deep between the lines.
Fade away, it will fix everything
We've come this far and I don't need a reason
We've come this far and I don't need a reason
So I'll leave the light on for you
I'll twist the knife in for you
Leave me alive until you lay down by my side
So tell me something parting silence
Everything to point of view
I'm hearing what I'd like to hear believing you
We tried a thousand times.
Breathe deep between the lines
To walk away is to fix everything
We've come this far and I don't need a reason
Asleep alone come wandering again
We've come this far and I don't need a reason
So I'll leave the light on for you
I'll twist the knife in for you
Leave me alive until you lay down by my side
You twist the knife again and again
And again and again and again
The lyrics to A.F.R.O's song "Gold" touch on themes of longing, uncertainty, and perseverance in a romantic relationship. The singer is waiting to hear directly from their significant other, rather than relying on mixed signals and interpretations. They've tried to make sense of their feelings and the erratic behavior of their partner, but they're struggling to stay afloat. The lines "Fade away, it will fix everything" and "To walk away is to fix everything" suggest that perhaps the best solution to their problems is to let go and move on, but the singer can't bring themselves to do it.
The chorus repeats the line "We've come this far and I don't need a reason," perhaps indicating that the relationship has persisted despite the odds against it. The singer is willing to go to great lengths to hold onto their partner, even to the point of twisting the knife and enduring pain.
The bridge introduces the idea of "parting silence," suggesting that the partner may be distant or withholding. The singer hears what they want to hear, hoping that their faith in their partner is not misplaced. The repetition of "again and again" in the final line underscores the endless cycle of pain and uncertainty that the singer is experiencing.
Overall, "Gold" is a poignant rumination on the complexity of romantic relationships, especially when one partner's feelings and intentions are unclear.

I'm doing all I can to wait
I'm waiting patiently to hear from you
until I hear this straight from you
I want to hear the truth from you directly
Well I'm mixing colors, mixing signals, missing you
I'm confused and don't know what to do without you
I've tried a thousand times
I've made many attempts to figure things out
Breathe deep between the lines.
I'm trying to read between the lines and understand what you're not saying
Fade away, it will fix everything
If I disappear, everything will be fixed
We've come this far and I don't need a reason
I don't need to justify how far we've come
Asleep alone come wandering again
I always end up alone and lost in my thoughts
So I'll leave the light on for you

I'll twist the knife in for you
I'll endure pain for the chance to be with you
Leave me alive until you lay down by my side

So tell me something parting silence
Say something before we part ways in silence
Everything to point of view
Everything is a matter of perspective
I'm hearing what I'd like to hear believing you
I'm hearing what I want to hear and trusting you
To walk away is to fix everything
Leaving would solve everything
You twist the knife again and again
You keep hurting me repeatedly
And again and again and again
It's a never-ending cycle of pain
