Golden
Becca Mancari Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you're way out there trying to dance out those blues
And you're living your whole life with your head in a noose
Oh darling, oh darling, won't you see this thing through?
I pin back the roses to the garden
So this house could have a kind memory
If I wasn't so scared driving highways
I guess you'd have to find me in your sleep
There you go again turning golden
Right there in front of me
I can't even seem to fight it
You're always going gold again for me

I took down the pictures of our loving
Trying to find some piece of mind
If I wasn't so scared you'd forget
I might be farther down the line

But there you go again turning golden
Right there in front of me
And I can't even seem to fight it
You're always going gold again for me

Oh darling, oh darling, won't you see this thing through?

There you go again turning golden
Right there in front of me
I can't even seem to fight it




You're always going gold again for me
You're always going gold again for me

Overall Meaning

The song "Golden" by Becca Mancari explores the feelings of a narrator who is struggling to let go of a painful past and move forward into a brighter future. The lyrics describe a sense of entrapment, both physical and emotional, with the idea of living one's whole life with "your head in a noose." The singer acknowledges their fear and vulnerability, and seeks to find solace and healing by taking steps to create a more positive environment, such as "pinning back the roses to the garden" and "taking down the pictures of our loving."


The repeated phrase "there you go again turning golden" becomes a symbol representing the cyclical nature of life, and the constant hope for renewal and transformation. Despite the singer's struggle to keep moving forward, they cannot help but be drawn back to the person who embodies this transformative power. The final plea, "oh darling, won't you see this thing through?" emphasizes the desire for mutual support and encouragement in navigating the difficulties of life.


Overall, "Golden" is a poignant and introspective song that explores the complexities of human emotions and the universal desire for healing and renewal.
