Spokesman
Goldfinger Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What happened to Dignity?
Did it go away again?
Just like some worn out trend.
Well I still defend emotions.

What happened to Honesty?
I don't see it in the top ten.
I only see it in what has been.
'cause I still defend Devotion.

Am I alone?

Don't want to rest, Don't want to breath.
We don't want to hear about life.
Don't want to hear a spokesman.
I don't want to test on what you believe,
The god damn singer wrote the song!
Don't want to hear a spokesman.

What happen to Integrity?
I don't see it on MTV.
All I see is choreography
and I'll never be a dancer

What happen to puberty?
Bad Skin and insecurity?
And who the fuck is felicity?
'cause I have problems of my own!

Am I alone?

Don't want to rest, Don't want to breath
We don't want to hear about life.
Don't want to hear a spokesman
Don't want to test on what you believe
The god damn singer wrote the song!
Don't want to hear a spokesman.

Don't want to rest, Don't want to breath
We don't want to hear about life.
Don't want to hear a spokesman
Don't want to test on what you believe




The god damn singer wrote the song!
Don't want to hear a spokesman.

Overall Meaning

In Goldfinger's song "Spokesman," the lyrics express a sense of disillusionment and frustration with the state of the world and the lack of integrity, honesty, and dignity in society. The lyrics question what has happened to these values and ideals, which seem to have been replaced by superficial trends, choreography, and celebrity culture. The singer expresses a desire to connect with real emotions, devotion, and purity, and to reject the artificiality and commercialization of the music industry and society at large. The repeated refrain of "Don't want to hear a spokesman" emphasizes the singer's rejection of external authority and his insistence on staying true to his own beliefs and feelings.
