In Spirit Golden
I Blame Coco Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fall into flames and you won't do it again,
You've learned a lesson that you've never been taught so.
Crawl into blame that you will never reclaim
It is a blessing that you'll never get caught, oh

But underneath we are golden,
Hold them, we made them.
Our hearts beat control them
Too fast,
too fast for me tonight.

I've seen souls in spirit golden
And I've seen souls in spirit gold
Now I've cleaned myself from that unsettling light
It was too bright for me and the love in my life
But if you capture me I'll be within your sight
It was too bright for me,
It was too bright tonight
It was too bright tonight

Before the insults and post the praise
You are the subject of a sugarcoat crosshair.
During the shell shock of a crystal maze
You are important at your opening funfair.

However underneath we are golden
So hold them we saved them
Our heartbeats control them
They're too fast,
Too fast for me tonight.

I've seen souls in spirit golden
And I've seen souls in spirit gold
Now I've cleaned myself from that unsettling light
It was too bright for me and the love in my life
But if you capture me I'll be within your sight
It was too bright for me,
It was too bright tonight
It was too bright tonight

Here by a circus on this moonlit night,
With the lukewarm light is not too frightening.
Here by a settle at the starboard side
If you only vouch for me
On this golden night,
on this golden night,
Oh my burning eyes

I see souls in spirit golden
I see souls in spirit gold
Now that I've cleaned myself from that unsettling light
It was too bright for me and the love in my life
But if you capture me
I'll be within your sight




It was too bright for me
It was too bright tonight

Overall Meaning

The song “In Spirit Golden” by I Blame Coco addresses the experience of going through a transformative journey and emerging on the other side, cleansed and renewed. The opening lines talk about learning a lesson from a past mistake that was never taught to us, implying that wisdom can be gained from our own experience. The lyrics go on to speak of crawling into blame, which reflects on how easy it is to assign fault to others without taking responsibility for our role in a situation. The idea of being caught brings to mind the consequences of our actions and how we can avoid them by taking ownership of our mistakes.


The chorus of the song declares that underneath it all, we are golden. This highlights the idea that we are all inherently good and possess vast potential for growth and healing. The lines “Hold them, we made them, our hearts beat control them,” suggest that we have the power to shape our own reality and create the life we desire. However, the fast-paced beat of the song alludes to the sense of urgency that comes with change and how we must keep up with the tempo of our own transformation.


The bridge of the song speaks of being in a state of transition, where the old self is being shed to make way for the new. The unsettling light symbolizes the discomfort that comes with this process, but the line “If you capture me I'll be within your sight” implies a desire for connection and understanding from others. Finally, the last verse refers to being in the present moment, specifically on a moonlit night. The line “Oh my burning eyes” suggests a newfound clarity and vision, which signifies the beginning of a new chapter in life.
