The creative duo behind Inouwee consists of Kaare and Signe who both are well versed in the music scene of Copenhagen. They met by coincidence in 2007 and have since been working on expressing their feelings, thoughts and ideas. Later this year the debut album "Based on an untrue story" will see the light of day.
Inouwee are the colors in the sunset you see above the cold roofs in the city…
Golden Dust
INOUWEE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
People we have known are
Drawings on my bathroom mirror
Flowers grow and die,
You and I are
Prints on a pile of ashes
Golden dust
I'm going right under
'cause it feels right
I'm going right under
When you hold me tight
Hearts of thunder
Racing right through the night
I'm going right under
'cause it feels right
I'm going right under
Before I can go on
Before I can go on
Moonlight story times
A tower and its chimes
It's calling for a brand new morning
The dust in daylight
Hopes and fears collide
You must be longing for the passing over
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh ooh, ooh...
I'm going right under
'cause it feels right
I'm going right under
When you hold me tight
Hearts of thunder
Racing right through the night
I'm going right under
'cause it feels right
I'm going right under
Before I can go on
Before I can go on, ooh
Ahh, ahh, ahh, are you, are you still here?
Ahh, ahh, ahh, are you, are you still here?
I'm going right under
'cause it feels right
I'm going right under
When you hold me tight
Hearts of thunder
Racing right through the night
I'm going right under
'cause it feels right
I'm going right under
Before I can go on
Before I can go on
Before I can go on
Before I can go on (ahhhhhh...)
The lyrics to Inouwee's song "Golden Dust" depict the passage of time and the fleeting nature of life. The first verse describes how people come and go in our lives, leaving nothing but memories behind. The use of the metaphor of drawings on a bathroom mirror highlights the impermanence of these memories. The second verse talks about the hopes and fears that we all have, which clash with each other and create a sense of longing for something more. The chorus talks about the feeling of being completely consumed by something, whether it's a person or a feeling, and how sometimes we need to give in to that feeling in order to move forward.
The bridge of the song brings in a new metaphor, that of the moon and the passing of time. The tower and its chimes represent the inevitability of change and the call to move on to new beginnings. The use of the phrase "passing over" acknowledges the fact that life is ultimately fleeting and that we all must move on at some point. The final repetition of the chorus emphasizes the idea of giving in to the moment and allowing ourselves to be consumed by something, before we can move on to the next stage of our lives.
Overall, "Golden Dust" is a reflective and poignant song about the transitory nature of life, and the importance of taking hold of the present moment to move forward.
