Tracking Treasure Down
Gabriel & Dresden & Molly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Something I remember
Sharp words push me back, hanging on to anything I can
Anything I can
Why do you tell me only things I want to hear?
Why don't you tell me this could just disappear?
You keep tracking treasure down
At the same time (At the same time)
(Tracking treasure down) Tracking treasure down
(Tracking treasure down) Tracking treasure down
At the same time (At the same time)
Cant stop I'm soaked tonight, wanna find something I believe
Something I believe
Open up, take me in, makes no sense, help me understand
Help me understand
Why do you tell me only things I want to hear?
Why don't you tell me this could just disappear?
You tell me of pirate-ships and fairy-tales
You have me wishing that everything was real
At the same time, at the same time
You keep tracking treasure down
At the same time, at the same time, at the same time
At the same time (At the same time)
At the same time
Why do you tell me only things I want to hear?
Why don't you tell me this could just disappear?
At the same time (At the same time)
You keep tracking treasure down
At the same time (At the same time)
(Tracking treasure down) Tracking treasure down
(Tracking treasure down) Tracking treasure down
At the same time (At the same time)
The song "Tracking Treasure Down" by Gabriel & Dresden is an emotional exploration of the tensions and contradictions in a relationship. The song appears to be told from the perspective of someone who is insecure and uncertain about the future of their relationship. The first verse sets the tone with the lines "Sharp words push me back, hanging onto anything I can," conveying a sense of vulnerability and defensiveness. The chorus, with its repeated refrain of "At the same time, you keep tracking treasure down," is simultaneously accusatory and yearning, expressing a desire for honesty and reassurance from the other person in the relationship.

unfortunately, I believe the Kyau Albert remix beats the original version by quite a margin. But the Original is massive aswell.
