In the song "Gold," Colonel Red and C.O.N.E address the theme of materialistic desires and the failure to realize the futility of material wealth in the face of mortality. The lyrics urge the listener to consider the judgment day and understand that regardless of the wealth they accumulate in life, it will all melt away. The chorus highlights the importance of one's soul over material possessions.
The verse "I'd rather be in a deep, dark grave and know that my poor soul was saved than to live in this world in a house of gold" signifies the idea that the good deeds done during life are more critical than owning riches or obtaining eternal luxury. The song informs the listener that even if they devote their entire existence to gathering wealth, they will eventually die and be judged by the Almighty. Therefore, the song advises the addressee to seek forgiveness from their sins and repent sincerely by residing on their knees to pray.
Overall, the "Gold" song encourages people to prioritize their soul and religious beliefs and embrace humility and kindness instead of aspiring for material possessions that are irrevocably temporary.
