Strings Of Gold
I Will I Swear Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and while they hold you, you dance quietly to the beat.
The dance for sacred, hold on tight, when murderers call
and they weep because you're young and free to fall.
But the hardest bit of lying is to keep your mouth shut, about presents that will wait beneath your feet.
The hardest bit ‘bout growing up is this cold,
But dear, don't go now, you'll know now, how to fold,
we hold on tight.
The hardest bit ‘bout growing up is this cold,
we hold on tight.
No words are sacred tied up on strings of gold,
we hold on tight.
They were old but they were smart and knew more
more than a solo riding mind on the streets.
The drive for sacred - hold on tight 'cause murderers call
and they sleep cause they don't go where you won't fall.
The hardest bit ‘bout growing up is this cold,
we hold on tight.
But dear, don't go now, you'll know now, how to fold,
we hold on tight.
The hardest bit ‘bout growing up is this cold,
we hold on tight.
No words are sacred tied up on strings of gold,
we hold on tight.
The lyrics to "Strings Of Gold" by I will i swear begin with a metaphorical image of an individual floating above thousands of hands that support them. It seems that the singer is a free-spirited and perhaps naive youth who dances quietly to the beat of these hands as they guide them forward. However, these hands are not just supportive, but also symbolic of the many people who wish to see them fall. The dancers hold on tightly when murderers call, a reference to the metaphorical assassins longing to bring this person down.
The second verse discusses the difficulties of lying and keeping secrets. The singer metaphorically speaks of presents that will wait beneath their feet, which suggests that there are hidden truths that must be kept concealed. The third verse introduces the idea of old and wise individuals who have more knowledge than the singer's solo riding mind. These sages suggest that people should hold on to their sacred beliefs tightly as murderers call, meaning that we must cling to that which is sacred to survive.
The chorus repeats the phrase, "The hardest bit ‘bout growing up is this cold, we hold on tight, no words are sacred tied up on strings of gold, we hold on tight." Growing up is said to be difficult, but holding on tightly to our sacred beliefs is crucial when everything is bleak and cold.
Overall, "Strings Of Gold" is a poignant ballad that paints a bleak picture of life and growing up. However, the message of the song is that even though life is tough, holding tightly to our sacred beliefs can help us get through the toughest of times.
