Good As Gold
American Bang Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh Yeah
Love you until the break of dawn
Lift me up, let me down, spining, see you around
She said my love ain't this how you gonna leave
In the hotel lobbie with that broken heart bleeding
C'mon
What a hell of an age
She tried to kill me with that short skirt
And that pretty little face
She's got a whole eye to the soul
I got to, got to have her
'Cause she is good as gold
Break it down
She's gonna keep me waiting
Oh yeah!
She's better even on the phone
She makes her brother in law someone who's brain toss
She's sings steller in heaven with a sweet voice
I sing along like I don't have a fucking choice
The lyrics of American Bang's song "Good as Gold" seem to be about a wild and intense love affair. The singer is madly in love with a woman who makes him feel ecstatic, but at the same time, she puts him through a roller-coaster of emotions. He describes her as someone who is worth all the wait and trouble because she is like a precious metal – good as gold. The song's opening lines suggest that their passion for each other is intense enough to push them to the brink of insanity.
Throughout the song, the singer uses vivid and descriptive language to create a sense of urgency and intensity. He talks about how he loves her until the break of dawn, and even when he's dizzy and spinning, he sees her around. However, the relationship is not without its challenges - in the second verse, the woman the singer is talking about seems to be somewhat fickle, keeping him waiting and making him sing along to her sweet voice, even though he doesn't seem to have any control over the situation.
Overall, "Good as Gold" seems to be a passionate and emotional portrayal of a turbulent love affair. The lyrics are filled with vivid imagery and sensory descriptions, which make it easy to imagine the singer's intense feelings.
