Golden
Harry Styles Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey!

Golden, golden, golden
As I open my eyes
Hold it, focus, hoping
Take me back to the light
I know you were way too bright for me
I'm hopeless, broken
So you wait for me in the sky
Browns my skin just right

You're so golden
You're so golden
I'm out of my head
And I know that you're scared
Because hearts get broken

I don't wanna be alone
I don't wanna be alone
When it ends
Don't wanna let you know
I don't wanna be alone
But I, I can feel it take a hold (I can feel it take a hold)
I can feel you take control (I can feel you take control)
Of who I am and all I've ever known
Loving you's the antidote

Golden
You're so golden
I don't wanna be alone
You're so golden
You're so golden
I'm out of my head
And I know that you're scared
Because hearts get broken

(Golden, golden, golden, golden)
(Golden, golden, golden, golden)
(Golden, golden, golden, golden)
(Golden, golden, golden, golden)
(Golden, golden, golden, golden)
(Golden, golden, golden, golden)
(Golden, golden, golden, golden)
I know that you're scared
Because I'm so open

You're so golden
I don't wanna be alone
You're so golden
You're so golden
You're so golden
I'm out of my head
And I know that you're scared
Because hearts get broken

Overall Meaning

The first verse of Harry Styles’s song “Golden” talks about his admiration and affection for someone who is so bright and intense that it’s almost painful. The singer admits that they are “hopeless” and “broken,” but this person brings them back to the light. The person is so “golden” that they enrich the singer’s life, and their mere presence makes everything feel just right.


In the chorus, Harry sings about how he doesn’t want to be alone, but he’s scared that his heart will get broken again. He acknowledges that being in love is risky, but he’s willing to take that chance because he feels like this person is his “antidote” and can take control of his fears and worries. The repeated refrain of “You’re so golden” underscores how special and valuable this person is to him.


In the last verse, Harry acknowledges that this person is also scared because he has opened up to them so much. But he is willing to be vulnerable and take that risk because they make him feel so alive. Ultimately, the song is about the power of love to bring light into even the darkest places, and the courage it takes to open yourself up to that kind of vulnerability.
