GOLD
David Abeles Lyrics

The lyrics of “Gold” by Interference are a beautiful tribute to love and freedom. The opening lines, “And I love her so, I wouldn't trade her for gold,” reveal that the singer holds his love above all material possessions. He cherishes her so much that he holds her in higher esteem than even the most precious metal. This is followed up by, “I'm walking on moonbeams, I was born with a silver spoon,” which speaks volumes about the singer’s privileged background.

However, the song is also about breaking free and being oneself. “And I'm gonna be me, I'm gonna be free,” are words filled with conviction, as if the singer has just made up his mind to take control of his life. The next lines, “I'm walking on moonbeams and staring out to sea,” add to the feeling of freedom. The singer is free to walk wherever he wants, to explore the world and see all the wonders it has to offer.

But freedom is not always easy, and sometimes one may run into roadblocks. This is where the lines, “And if a door be closed, then a road for home start building, And tear your curtains down, For sunlight is like gold,” become significant. The singer advises that if one door closes, another can be built. If something is standing in the way of one’s freedom, one should tear it down fearlessly. The sunlight, the symbol of hope and warmth, is like gold, a precious metal, and something that one should always hold onto.

In the final verse, the singer urges listeners to be true to themselves and do what they can do. “And you better be you, and do what you can do,” are words of encouragement to break free and embrace one’s inner self. And just like in the beginning, the song ends on a high note, “And you're walking on moonbeams and staring out to sea,” emphasizing the idea of freedom and the limitless possibilities that come with it.
