Gold Dust
Galantis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're like gold dust
It rains over me
A foreign sun that I thought
I'd never see
You're like gold dust

Oh don't change ever
No don't change
There's a hollow in this house
Whenever you go

You're like gold dust
It rains over me
A foreign sun my eyes
Thought I'd never see
You're like gold dust

Keep coming down that street
There's a hollow in this house
Whenever you go

Keep coming down that street
There's a hollow in this house
Whenever you go

Keep coming down that street
There's a hollow in this house
Whenever you go





You're like gold dust

Galantis's EDM is different. The songs are emotional and beautiful, and the melodies and instruments are a complement to the synthesizers in the drops. Amazing.

I remember when I listened to this song while in vacations with my cousin. I was only 14, dreaming of the future, and just discovering Galantis.
Paradise.
Now I'm 19, confined, and afraid of what's going to happen. But this song brings me back to paradise, it gives me the strength to hope, even just a bit. This song is the only piece of paradise I have left. Thank you Galantis for creating this masterpiece.

And when you'll be 25, you'll look back at this comment probably think the same as you do now but instead wish you were 19 again.
Time flies, enjoy it.
