Gold Digger
Ewert and the Two Dragons Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The stars in the sky
They won't keep you warm at night
They can keep you company
Till you've done your time

Made from the same mold
Everyone around you
Doing all their hard work
Digging for their gold

Everyone is out for a price
Everyone is out for their pride
I just need to see you one more time


Each night I'm wondering
What if you were right here
Would you feel like home
Or would you want to leave
Would you feel like home
Or would you want to leave

Everyone is out for a price
Everyone is out for their pride
I just need to see you one more time

Everyone is out for a price




Everyone is out for their pride
I just need to see you one more time

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Gold Digger" by Ewert and the Two Dragons describe the struggle of finding true love in a world where everyone seems to be out for their own personal gain. The first two lines of the chorus talk about how material possessions such as the stars in the sky won't provide lasting warmth or comfort, but instead can only keep someone company for a temporary period. This can be thought of as a metaphor for how people may use others for their own benefit until they've outlived their usefulness.


The second half of the chorus contains the repeated line "Everyone is out for a price, everyone is out for their pride, I just need to see you one more time". This suggests that the singer is aware of the fact that everyone has their own agenda and everyone wants something out of their relationships. Despite this, the singer still has a desire to see a particular person one more time, potentially indicating that they hope this person may be different from the rest and truly love them for who they are.


The verses of the song go into more detail about the struggle to find love, with lyrics such as "Made from the same mold, everyone around you, doing all their hard work, digging for their gold". This further emphasises the idea that people are so focused on their own gain that they are essentially clones of each other, all digging for their own form of "gold". Overall, the song is a poignant reflection on the difficulties of building authentic relationships in a world that is so focused on material gain.
