Sister Golden Hair
Floorfilla Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

See circles in the hair

See cirles in the hair
Sister golden hair
See circles in the hair

Well I tried to make it Sunday
But I got so damn depressed
That I set my sights on Monday
And I got myself undressed
I ain't ready for the altar
But I do agree there's times
When a woman sure can be a friend of mine

Well I keep on thinkin' bout you
Sister golden hair surprise
And I just can't live without you
Can't you see it in my eyes?
I've been one poor correspondent
I've been too, too hard to find
But it doesn't mean you ain't been on my mind

Well I keep on thinkin' 'bout you
Sister golden hair surprise
And I just can't live without you
Can't you see it in my eyes?
I've been one poor correspondent
I've been too, too hard to find
But it doesn't mean you ain't been on my mind

Will you meet me in the middle?
Will you meet me in the end?
Will you love me just a little?
Just enought to show you care

Well I've tried to fake it
I don't mind sayin'
I just can't make it

Well I've tried to fake it
I don't mind sayin'
I just can't make it

I've been one poor correspondent




I've been too, too hard to find
But it doesn't mean you ain't been on my mind...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Sister Golden Hair" by Floorfilla tell the story of a man who is struggling with his feelings for a woman he cares about. He opens with the line "See circles in the hair, sister golden hair" which may refer to the physical appearance of the woman he's singing to, but could also be a metaphor for the emotional entanglement he feels with her. He goes on to discuss his depression, which he tries to alleviate by focusing on the workweek and distracting himself with various activities.


Though the singer insists he isn't ready for marriage, he hints that he may be interested in a more casual relationship, stating that "a woman sure can be a friend of mine." It's clear that the woman he's addressing is frequently on his mind, and he expresses regret for not communicating with her more effectively. The chorus repeats a plea for her attention, and he asks her to "meet me in the middle" and "love me just a little." He also admits that he has attempted to hide his true feelings for her, but ultimately can't maintain that facade.


Interestingly, "Sister Golden Hair" was originally written and performed by the band America, as a folk-rock song with a similar theme of yearning for connection. Floorfilla's version updates the sound with heavy electronic beats and synthesizers, turning it into a dancefloor anthem. Overall, the song offers a window into the complicated emotional landscape of relationships, and the difficulties of expressing oneself honestly.
