Tracking Treasure Down
Gabriel & Dresden Ft. Molly Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know this will be something I remember in my head
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?
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)

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)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Gabriel & Dresden's song "Tracking Treasure Down" featuring Molly, is an introspective and reflective expression of one's desires and what it feels like when those desires are not met. In the opening verses, the singer acknowledges that what is happening to them is something they will always remember, indicating the importance of the situation. However, despite this, they feel pushed back by sharp words and are hanging on for anything they can grasp onto. They then question the motives of someone who only tells them what they want to hear and wishes that they were told about the possibility of everything just disappearing.


As the song progresses, the singer describes their current state as soaked and longing to hold on to something they can believe in. Seeking clarity, the singer begs to be taken in and helped to understand. The mention of pirate ships and fairy tales is also an indication of a desire for something magical and out of the ordinary. Throughout the song, the phrase "at the same time" is repeated, and it implies a sense of conflict between two ideas or emotions happening simultaneously. Despite this conflict, the chorus repeats the phrase "tracking treasure down," indicating a relentless pursuit of something valuable that may be difficult to find.


Overall, the lyrics of "Tracking Treasure Down" paint a vivid picture of a person longing for something while simultaneously dealing with the fear of losing that something.
