Precious Metal
Donatachi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Beating out of your heart
Special and delicate
You have got so much to lose
So much more to regret now
Pressure in our lungs
It accounts for a deep love
Special
You have got so much to lose
Shine that only knew what to break?
Break me on it
Sweetest cuts that you'll ever see
Yeah you will
Better for it
Love that we just can't seem to shake
You break me on it
Golden hearts they melt in the heat
Yeah they do
Precious metal
You have go to be careful
Special and delicate
So much more to regret now
Pressure in our lungs
It accounts for a deep love
Precious
Special
You have got so much to lose
The lyrics of the song Precious Metal by Donatachi seem to convey a message about love, its value, and its fragility. The opening lines, "Precious metal, beating out of your heart, special and delicate, you have got so much to lose," imply that love is a precious, valuable thing that is fragile and must be handled with care. The second verse seems to suggest that this love comes with some sort of pressure or weight, "pressure in our lungs, it accounts for a deep love." The chorus is a repetition of these themes, with the warnings about being careful and the recognition of the preciousness of love.
The lines "Shine that only knew what to break? Break me on it, Sweetest cuts that you'll ever see, yeah you will, Better for it" are slightly ambiguous but seem to suggest that the love being described is both beautiful and painful, and that there is some sense in which the person singing the song wants to be broken by it. The final lines, "Golden hearts they melt in the heat, yeah they do," seem to reinforce this idea, that despite its value and beauty, love is something that can be destroyed or lost.
Overall, the song seems to be about the importance of recognizing the value and fragility of love, and the need to handle it with care, even though it comes with risks and the possibility of pain.
