GOLD
Findus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wir stehen am Fuße des Berg
Wir hängen am Nagel der Zeit
Wir sind Einer von Million'
Wir sammeln Spuren im Wald
Und wir gehen über Flüsse
Und wir gehen mit der Zeit
So mag der Wind uns in das Nichts entführn'
Alles wird Gold und alles wird leer
Kraniche fliegen und wir ziehn' hinterher
Alles wird Gold und alles wird leer
So mag der Wind uns in das Nichts entführn'
Alles wird Gold und alles wird leer
Kraniche fliegen und wir ziehn' hinterher
Alles wird Gold und alles wird leer
...
Wir legen die Taschen ab
Wir halten Ausschau nach dem Grab
Und wir hoffen, wenn wir schwimmen
Doch wir jagen, weil wir so sind
Nach dem Schatz im See
Nach dem Gold in Athen
...
So mag der Wind uns in das Nichts entführn'
Alles wird Gold und alles wird leer
Kraniche fliegen und wir ziehn' hinterher
Alles wird Gold und alles wird leer
So mag der Wind uns in das Nichts entführn'
Alles wird Gold und alles wird leer




Kraniche fliegen und wir ziehn' hinterher
Alles wird Gold und alles wird leer

Overall Meaning

The song Gold by Findus is a reflective and introspective piece about the journey of life and the pursuit of fulfillment. The first verse talks about being at the foot of a mountain and hanging on to the nail of time, which could be interpreted as feeling small in the face of life's challenges and being acutely aware of the finite nature of our existence. The second verse talks about the journey through life, walking over rivers and with the passing of time. The line "So mag der Wind uns in das Nichts entführn'" (So may the wind lead us into nothingness) suggests a sense of longing for something more, while acknowledging the impermanence of everything.


The chorus declares that everything will become gold, perhaps referring to experiences in life that shine bright and leave a lasting impression, and everything will become empty. The repetition of the lines "Kraniche fliegen und wir ziehn' hinterher" (Cranes fly and we follow them) could be interpreted as the desire to follow a calling, yet also acknowledging the inevitability of change and impermanence.


Overall, the lyrics of Gold by Findus conveys a sense of reflection on life and the pursuit of fulfillment, acknowledging both the beauty and transience of it all.

I like how Shane wants the gold on the scale right now. None of the BS speeches before 'are you ready?' Then a slow pour with someone counting. Just show me the gold!
