Before they were signed to a major label, they released an EP titled Richter. Many of the songs on Richter are demo versions of songs on their full length debut, Goldfinger, which was released in 1996. Their biggest single was "Here in Your Bedroom", though they also gained recognition from their song Superman, which was featured in the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater (1) video game. (Their song "Spokesman" was also included in the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 video game) Though their second album, Hang-Ups, was less successful, the band still maintained a devoted fanbase in the hardcore community. Their third studio LP was Stomping Ground, which sold poorly in the US but was a modest hit in some European countries, thanks to their cover of Nena's "99 Red Balloons" sung partly in German. 99 Red Balloons was also featured in Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec, as well as the movie Eurotrip. Their next album, Open Your Eyes (2002), was the first for their new record label, Jive/Zomba.
Frontman John Feldmann has produced records for Mest, The Used (whose vocalist Bert McCracken sang some guest vocals on 'Open Your Eyes' and 'Ocean Size') and Story of the Year. He also produced Good Charlotte's single "The Anthem" (whose guitarist Benji Madden provides guest vocals on 'January'), which was originally named "Oracle of Elcaro". He also signed the band Unloco with Maverick Records. In early 2005, they released their first album for their new label, titled "Disconnection Notice". It featured the single "Wasted".
Former band members include bassist Simon Williams, who left the band following Hang-Ups (replaced by Kelly Lemieux), and Brian Arthur, who left the band following Disconnection Notice.

Goldfinger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
feelings that slow down the time
i don't know if I'm forwards or behind
eyes are staring out at me
and people all surrounding me
all the hands upon me now I'm lost
i only wish that you were here
with you fears seem to disappear
i only want to be okay
but i don't know another way
destroys the things that mean the most to me
seems familiar
been here before
yeah its all i need to read my thoughts now
Chorus
carry on carry on
count the things that I've done wrong
cut me down till there's nothing left now
carry on carry on
count the things that I've done wrong
cut me down till there's nothing left now
i find to concentrate
and i can never meditate
try to get my mind right off of you
no matter how i feel today
i only know that things will change
and i don't really care if you felt good
seems familiar
been here before
yeah this all new you read my thoughts now
Chorus
In "Carry On" by Goldfinger, the lyrics express feelings of confusion and being lost. The singer is struggling to determine whether they are moving forward or backward in life, and they feel like they are constantly being watched and judged by those around them. They express a longing for someone to be with them to ease their fears and make them feel okay. However, they also feel like their emotions and actions are destroying the important things in their life. The chorus is a reminder to keep pushing on despite past mistakes and hardships.
The lyrics paint a picture of a person grappling with their own thoughts and emotions. They are overwhelmed by the world around them, and they yearn for the comfort and security of a loved one. The repetition of the phrase "carry on" in the chorus reinforces the idea that even though things may be difficult, it's important to keep moving forward.

words they echo in my mind
Recurring thoughts keep running through my head
feelings that slow down the time
Emotions that seem to make time drag on
i don't know if I'm forwards or behind
Uncertainty about whether I'm making progress or falling behind
eyes are staring out at me
Peering gazes are fixed upon me
and people all surrounding me
I'm being encircled by many individuals
all the hands upon me now I'm lost
Being touched by many causes me to feel disoriented
i only wish that you were here
I long for your presence beside me
with you fears seem to disappear
Your presence calms my anxieties
if only i could take back how i feel
I regret how I'm currently feeling and wish I could change it
i only want to be okay
All I desire is to be emotionally stable
but i don't know another way
I don't know any other method to find peace
destroys the things that mean the most to me
My actions are causing harm to my most cherished possessions
seems familiar
This situation seems similar to ones I've been in before
been here before
I've experienced this before
yeah its all i need to read my thoughts now
I recognize this situation and it allows me to understand my own thoughts
carry on carry on
Keep moving forward
count the things that I've done wrong
Reflect on past mistakes
cut me down till there's nothing left now
Bring me to my lowest point
i find to concentrate
I struggle to focus
and i can never meditate
Even when trying to clear my mind, I'm unable to find peace
try to get my mind right off of you
I attempt to stop thinking about you
no matter how i feel today
Regardless of my current emotional state
i only know that things will change
I have faith that things will improve
and i don't really care if you felt good
I'm indifferent to whether or not you're satisfied
yeah this all new you read my thoughts now
This is a new experience for me and it allows me to understand my own thoughts
