Gold
Cary T. Brown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I ask her where it goes 'cause I really want
I wonder if she knows that we're underwater
That's the way it goes in this city wonder
Moved to the spot, I'm one of a few
A whole lot of everything, but nothing to do
'Tilted in a Tesla, pardon the ex-wrestler
Liposuction's scheduled for Granny
She want to save some, add to her fanny
Girls' trip, Miami at the end of the year
Polluted-filled skies, trying to think clear
I heard the bad news while I was shedding a beer
Watch out from the cults, Paul Revere
We all play a part in the Devil's cheer
Run to the hills 'cause the end is near
But in the magic cove, there's a pretty one
I ask her where it goes 'cause I really want
I wonder if she knows that we're underwater
That's the way it goes in this city wonder
Yo, a desolate city where it hurts to smile
Ran into the Reverend since it's been a while
I'm reining in the rando', she's a social scandal
Gave ourselves a handle when it's too much to bare
ABC boys raided the mayor
Like Shaun, he's a Ryder, took on a dare
Now he's singing like a birdy, pulling on his hair
Trending on Twitter's what some of us live for
Friendships givin' out, fucking revolving door
All of this a joke? Pauly Shore
Bullshit keeps comin', maybe I'm a Matador
What are we living for?
Are we all losing our minds?
Because life got in the way
(Hey, hey, hey)
They will be here just in time
Your replacement is here to stay (ahh)
New gold, fool's gold
Everything will disappear (new gold)
Someone's out here
Who traveled far too many years (new gold)
To nowhere, nowhere (new gold, new gold)
Nothing here is ever real (new gold)
New gold, fool's gold (new gold)
Everything will disappear, disappear
Disappear, disappear, disappear
Disappear, disappear, disappear
Disappear, disappear, disappear, disappear
But in the magic cove, there's a pretty one
I ask her where it goes 'cause I really want
I wonder if she knows that we're underwater
That's the way it goes in this city wonder (new gold)
But in the magic cove, there's a pretty one (new gold, new gold, new gold)
I ask her where it goes 'cause I really want (new gold, new gold, new gold)
I wonder if she knows that we're underwater (new gold, new gold, new gold)
That's the way it goes in this city wonder (new gold, new gold, new gold)
In the magic cove, there's a pretty one (new gold, fool's gold)
I ask her where it goes 'cause I really want (everything will disappear)
I wonder if she knows that we're underwater (someone's out here)
That's the way it goes in this city wonder (who travelled far too many years)
But in the magic cove, there's a pretty one (to nowhere, nowhere)
I ask her where it goes 'cause I really want (nothing here is ever real)
I wonder if she knows that we're underwater (new gold, fool's gold)
That's the way it goes in this city wonder (everything will disappear)

Line by Line Meaning
Watch young lovers for I've been told
Be observant of young couples, as there is a message to be shared
Man is coming with silver and gold
A person is arriving with valuable possessions
To take is to steal
Obtaining something without consent is thievery
From not him, but he
The person who takes is not entitled to what they are taking
No persuasion
There won't be any convincing or influencing involved
Victory for
Success is guaranteed for
The devil is lifting the one you love
The devil is tempting your loved one
Higher higher
The temptation is escalating
Thine eyes do lead
Your eyes guide you
And down young lover
And will lead you and your loved one towards trouble
To thee
Towards your own downfall
