Extensive touring in Norway, Sweden, Denmark and the UK lays the foundation for what is predicted to be a long and successful music career.
With her crystal voice, ranging from raw and powerful to intimate and soft, Dagny describes her music as an “emotional rollercoaster” with playful peaks and melancholic drops, “just as life itself” she says. Her greatest love is performing, and to the stage she brings her intimate lyrics, harmonies and feelings, blended in a modern folk/pop blender filled with everything from darkness to eternal optimism.
Fool's Gold
Dagny Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I was yours to hold
Still learning how to
But I was yours to love
I, I, I, I, I
Painted you in gold
When I, I, I, I, I
Are we chasing it still, will we ever have it
Like we had it?
Fool's love
When we thought it was real, did we really have it?
Or was it only fool's gold?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I, I, I, I, I
Painted you in gold
Will I ever find it like we had it?
Fool's gold
Years have passed us
I wonder where you are
Would you forgive me if I apologise now?
I, I, I, I, I
Painted you in gold
Remind me how we lost it all
Are we chasing it still, will we ever have it
Like we had it?
Fool's love
When we thought it was real, did we really have it?
Or was it only fool's gold?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I, I, I, I, I
Painted you in gold
Will I ever find it like we had it?
Fool's gold
Thought we knew love like a love song
Just 'cause we learned all the words
But you don't realise until the love's gone
Singing it all wrong
Yeah, heartache to heartache, we fight on
Promises blinding the truth
But the truth is it was useless
You and me were just fool's gold
Are we chasing it still, will we ever have it
Like we had it?
Fool's love
When we thought it was real, did we really have it?
Or was it only fool's gold?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I, I, I, I, I
Painted you in gold
Will I ever find it like we had it?
Fool's gold
Fool's gold
Fool's gold
Will I ever have it like we had it?
Fool's gold
The song Fool's Gold by Dagny is a song about lost love and how it can be deceptive in nature. The song begins with the singer crawling up to her lover's side, expressing her willingness to learn how to love him. The chorus repeats the line "painted you in gold", which means that she had elevated her lover to a position of great value in her life. The lyrics suggest that the love they shared was not genuine, as it was only "fool's love," and asks if they ever really had it.
The second verse states that years have passed, and the singer wonders where her lover is. She questions whether he would forgive her for any past mistakes and apologizes for any wrongdoings. The chorus repeats, asking if they will ever have the same love they once shared. The bridge contemplates how the couple had believed they knew love like a love song, but in reality, they were just singing it all wrong. The promises they made blinded them to the truth, which was ultimately useless, and they were nothing but "fool's gold".
Overall, the lyrics of Fool's Gold paint a picture of a lover who once held great value in the singer's life but ultimately turned out to be deceptive and not genuine, leaving the singer to question the validity of their past relationship.
Line by Line Meaning
Crawled up beside you
I approached you closely
And I was yours to hold
I was open to your embrace
Still learning how to
I was still figuring out how to
But I was yours to love
I was willing to give you my love
I, I, I, I, I
I, as in me/myself, expressed five times for emphasis
Painted you in gold
I put you on a pedestal and idealized you
When I, I, I, I, I
Again, emphasizing myself as the subject
Held you high above it all
I elevated you above everything else in my mind
Are we chasing it still, will we ever have it
Are we still pursuing the same thing, will we ever attain it
Like we had it?
In the same way that we previously had it
Fool's love
A naïve or misguided love
When we thought it was real, did we really have it?
When we believed it to be genuine, was it truly so
Or was it only fool's gold?
Or was it merely an illusion of value
Years have passed us
A significant amount of time has gone by
I wonder where you are
I'm curious about your whereabouts
Would you forgive me if I apologise now?
If I say sorry now, would you be able to forgive me
Remind me how we lost it all
Help me recall the reasons why we lost everything
Thought we knew love like a love song
We believed that we understood love through popular music
Just 'cause we learned all the words
Simply because we memorized the lyrics
But you don't realise until the love's gone
You don't recognize the true nature of love until it's lost
Singing it all wrong
We were mistaken in our singing
Yeah, heartache to heartache, we fight on
We persevered through one heartbreak after another
Promises blinding the truth
Our commitments obscured the reality
But the truth is it was useless
However, the fact is it was pointless
You and me were just fool's gold
Our relationship was nothing more than an illusory treasure
Fool's gold
Deceptive allure
Will I ever have it like we had it?
Will I be able to experience it again in the way that we once did
Fool's gold
A misleading substitute for genuine treasure

This song never gets old. Can listen to this every single day.

I love this song the most out of her songs. The rythm is just so cool. It lifts up your mood right away, even though the story is sad. It reminds me of another's fool's gold. I'm happy I stumbled back unto this song recently.
@delaneyisnotonfire935
I came here from a gas station,they were playing this song on the radio and I thought this was a pretty good song. I kept clicking on videos with the title of fools gold hoping it would be this amazing song and Now I think I just found my new favorite singer
