Minoff recorded with Rhode Island's Six Finger Satellite and Weird War and Eagleson worked on a PhD in ethnomusicology. Several EPs followed into the new millennium, but Golden put everything aside in 2002 to focus on their fourth album, Apollo Stars.

Running
Golden Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Turn out the lights
Cause they're coming
To take you away
Lights, lights
Turn out the lights
Cause they're coming
Oh they're coming
But you're running
Cause they tell you
You don't know what you're running from
But you're running
Oh you're running
It's time for you to take a stand
For your water, for your land
It's time for us to take a stand
For our brothers, and our sisters
The foundation was built on lies
Now's the time, open your eyes
This foundation was built on lies, and genocide
It's time to wake up, time to rise
In Golden's song "Running", the lyrics create a sense of urgency and fear, with the repetition of the phrase "lights, lights, turn out the lights" indicating a need to hide or escape from danger. The repeated reference to running even when the person doesn't know what they're running from suggests a larger societal issue at play, where people are forced to flee and avoid persecution without even understanding what they've done wrong.
The lyrics then shift to a call for action, with the lines "It's time for you to take a stand, for your water, for your land" advocating for people to stand up for themselves and their communities. The mentioning of the foundation being built on lies and genocide highlights the injustices and harm caused by those in power, and the need for those who have been harmed to rise up and speak out against the systemic violence.
Overall, the song could be interpreted as a message of solidarity and hope in the face of ongoing societal oppression and violence. Golden's use of repetition and urgent language adds to the emotional weight of the lyrics, making it clear that this is a message that needs to be heard and taken seriously.
