GOLD
Barbara Stahl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the name of love
But the moon comes and steals his shine
Every single night
And what was once gold becomes dust
By the morning light
Ouh the sun comes and kisses his face
But the moon comes and steals his shine
I waste my colors for him
And what I see is not all there is.
(What was once gold…)
High above or down here
I'll never see him free
It's Friday, Friday
No more Sundays for me
Dark moments of his happiness
He opens the window
Breaths in the morning
And there's nothing left
Not a thing can rule him
He is like the sea
I'm lonely for him only
But his love is free
When I think of him I feel so heavy
I was in his heart
He took it to places that I don't know
He took it in the dark
Ouh the sun comes and kisses his face
But the moon comes and steals his shine
(What was once gold…)
I waste my colors for him
And what I see is not all there is.
(What was once gold…)
A lot of me
A lot of me was lost in you
What did you see in me
What did I see in you
I wasted all my colors for you
High above or down here
I'll never see him free
It's Friday, Friday
No more Sundays for me
Dark moments of his happiness
He opens the window
Breaths in the morning
And there's nothing left
The song "Gold" by Barbara Stahl seems to be a reflection on a relationship that has lost its shine. The first verse describes how the sun gives its love to the person, but the moon steals it away every night. What used to be something precious and valuable has now turned to dust in the morning light. The second verse talks about the singer wasting her colors on this person, and how there's more to the situation than what meets the eye. The chorus repeats the idea that what was once gold has now faded away. The third verse talks about how the person is free in their love and cannot be ruled, but the singer is lonely because of it. The final verse asks the question of what each party saw in the other, and the feeling of having wasted time on a relationship that didn't last.
Overall, the song seems to be a reflection on a relationship that has lost its shine and faded away into nothing. The repetition of the idea that what was once gold is now gone highlights the sense of loss and disappointment. The singer seems to be questioning what went wrong and why their love wasn't enough to keep the relationship alive.

The sun comes and kisses his face
Love brightens up his day
In the name of love
Love is the reason behind the warmth of the sun
But the moon comes and steals his shine
Depression takes away his happiness and hope
Every single night
Depression never leaves him alone, especially at night
And what was once gold becomes dust
Hope fades away and disappointment prevails
By the morning light
Morning brings no joy to him
Ouh the sun comes and kisses his face
Love is still there, but it cannot erase his pain
I waste my colors for him
I give all that I have to make him happy
And what I see is not all there is.
I cannot see the full picture of what he's going through
High above or down here
No matter how I look at it or where I am, I cannot help him
I'll never see him free
His depression will always be there, holding him captive
It's Friday, Friday
Weekend does not bring any relief
No more Sundays for me
Even rest days bring no respite from the pain
Dark moments of his happiness
He still has moments of happiness, but they are brief and fleeting
He opens the window
He tries to move on and live a normal life
Breaths in the morning
He tries to take in the good things in life
And there's nothing left
But his depression consumes him again
Not a thing can rule him
He feels helpless and powerless against his depression
He is like the sea
He is deep and mysterious, and I cannot fully understand him
I'm lonely for him only
My love for him cannot fill the void he feels
But his love is free
He loves me, but his depression makes him unable to fully express it
When I think of him I feel so heavy
His pain weighs heavily on my heart
I was in his heart
He truly loves me, but his depression clouds his emotions
He took it to places that I don't know
He hides his true feelings from me, and I cannot reach him
He took it in the dark
He struggles alone in the dark, and I cannot help him
A lot of me was lost in you
I gave away so much of myself to help him, but it was not enough
What did you see in me
I wonder what he saw in me, and why he chose me to love
What did I see in you
I remember why I fell in love with him, and the happiness he brought me
I wasted all my colors for you
I used up all my energy and love to try and make him happy

@cloud retainer hmmm.... Basically...
This might contain some spoilers....
I actually recommend you to know the characters; Fuhua/Fuka & Kiana & read mangas about them...
The MC/kiana feel betrayed bc her friend got... Corrupted?
The MC tries to get "that friend" back but after defeating her friend (or like... The demon that possessed.) Her friend's subconscious locked/sealed herself & the demon in a lonely place so MC/kiana can have a peaceful life. (Because if that demon wake up again, there will be more destruction)
But kiana doesn't want "sacrifice for victory" so she tried to break the seal & get her real friend back (meanwhile for the demon..... It's..still asleep?)
The end 😃
