Gold
Hippie Sabotage Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gold up in my, gold up in my teeth
(Gold up, gold up in my teeth)
Don't care what you say to me, I'ma bite your
feelings out (Gold up in my teeth)
I missed you in the basement (Gold up in my teeth)
But your brother was a good substitute for you
And if you love me, love me you'd never let me go
When the roof was on fire, you never let me know
Say you're sorry honey, but you never really show
And I could leave the party without ever letting you know
Without ever letting you know Gold up in my, gold up in my teeth (Gold up, gold up in my teeth)
Taste like money when I speak (Gold up, gold up in my teeth)
And I missed you in the basement (Yeah, gold up in my teeth)
Bodies on the pavement (Oh, gold up in my teeth)
And if you love me, love me you'd never let me go
When the roof was on fire, you never let me know
Say you're sorry honey, but you never really show
And I could leave the party without ever letting you know
Without ever letting you know Gold up in my, gold up in my teeth (Gold up, gold up in my teeth)
Taste like money when I speak (Gold up, gold up in my teeth)
And I missed you in the basement (Yeah, gold up in my teeth)
Bodies on the pavement (Oh, gold up in my teeth)
And if you love me, love me you'd never let me go
When the roof was on fire, you never let me know
Say you're sorry honey, but you never really show




And I could leave the party without ever letting you know
Without ever letting you know

Overall Meaning

"Hippie Sabotage's song Gold" has a melancholic and introspective tone, which is exemplified in the opening stanza with the lines "Gold up in my teeth/Don't care what you say to me, I'ma bite your feelings out." The teeth represent a symbol of wealth and status, but it also suggests a willingness to take on the harsh realities of life without apology. The lines "I missed you in the basement, but your brother was a good substitute for you" indicate a sense of longing and loss, possibly regarding a past relationship. The repetition of "gold up in my teeth" suggests the phrase is meant to convey a sense of irony; the singer is surrounded by wealth and status, but their emotions are still raw and real.


The chorus continues the theme of emotional detachment, with lines such as "Say you're sorry honey, but you never really show/And I could leave the party without ever letting you know." This is a common sentiment for those who have been hurt before, to retreat into a shell and not allow themselves to be vulnerable again. The gold in the song takes on a dual meaning, representing both wealth and status, and emotional armor.


Overall, "Gold" is a song that speaks to a sense of longing and hurt, but also a willingness to push through the pain and carry on.
