Golden
Elysewood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What's the price to pay?
I'm golden
The eyes all look this way
All the pouters and followers they are deceitful too
You're just falling and falling and now you're seein' blue
But I'm golden
You're broken
Don't you misbehave
Don't make me care for you, care for you
Care for you
Don't make me care for you, care for you
Feeling like I'm underground
Can't escape the gavel now
I'm feeling you-ou-ou
I'm feeling you
Shout about the ocean now
Let's drink it 'til we're lost and found
I'm feeling you-ou-ou
I'm feeling you
Oh, don't you know the slogan?
I'm golden
Trouble's on its way
Stay frozen
Don't you misbehave
Did you know that your world had carnality?
It's the aura, aura, you're such an oddity
Don't make care for you, care for you
(Care for you)
Feeling like I'm underground
Can't escape the gavel now
I'm feeling you-ou-ou
I'm feeling you
Shout about the ocean now
Let's drink it 'til we're lost and found
I'm feeling you-ou-ou
I'm feeling you
Oh, don't you know the slogan?
Oh baby you care tonight
I'm golden
Care for you, care for you
Care for you
Care for you, care for you
Care for you, care for you
Care for you
Care for you, care for you
Feeling like I'm underground
(Care for you)
Can't escape the gavel now
Feeling like I'm underground
(Care for you)
I'm feeling you
Feeling like I'm underground
Can't escape the gavel now
I'm feeling you-ou-ou
I'm feeling you, ou, ou
Shouting like the ocean now
Let's drink it 'til we're lost and found
I'm feeling you-ou-ou
I'm feeling you
Oh, don't you know the slogan
Oh baby you care tonight!
I'm golden
The song Golden by Elysewood is about the feeling of being in control and untouchable amidst a world of deceit and chaos. The lyrics "I'm golden, what's the price to pay?" imply that there is a price to pay for the power and control that the singer is experiencing. However, she is still willing to pay it because of the satisfaction that comes with being on top. The line "the eyes all look this way" suggests that she has gained the attention and admiration of others, but she recognizes that they too are deceiving.
The second verse of the song reveals a disconnect between the singer and those around her. She is blind to the reality of the world and the struggles that others are facing. The line "don't make me care for you" implies a sense of apathy towards others and their problems. The chorus repeats the phrase "feeling like I'm underground, can't escape the gavel now," which could mean that the singer feels trapped and unable to escape a certain judgment or consequence. However, despite this feeling of being trapped, she still feels a connection towards someone or something that she is "feeling."
Overall, Golden is a song about power, control, and the price that comes with it. It also alludes to the loneliness and disconnection that can come with being on top.
