Irons Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Thank God
The agony subsided
I’ve seen life renewed with hardly any thought
Short kiss
This wave is dead, I’ll ride it
Until the last time that I see you in that dress
Take my joy
I know I don’t deserve to have it
Golden Boy
Tell me your dreams and I’ll proceed
To laugh it off
I'll laugh it off
I’m afraid
Of chasing something people tell me
Is a waste
You say keep pursuing this and soon
You’ll die alone
I’ll die alone
Long days
Never reunited
I kept pieces of the jars we made of clay
My eyes
Are heavy and shortsighted
But still I’m searching for something I don’t despise
Take my joy
I know I don’t deserve to have it
Golden Boy
Tell me your dreams and I’ll proceed
To laugh it off
I'll laugh it off
I’m afraid
Of chasing something people tell me
Is a waste
You say keep pursuing this and soon
You’ll die alone
I’ll die alone
And a voice says
Look up
Take in the horizon
Breathe in deep and see that you’ve found freedom
Strip down
Get rid of all your burdens
The world is yours, just go and take it now
Give me joy
I’m least of all deserving but I’m a
Golden Boy
I’ll scream my dreams, I’m free and I
Can laugh aloud
I’ll laugh aloud
Unafraid
Of chasing this for my whole life, it’s
Not a waste
To know I’ll die having tried to find
What lights my fire
You light my fire
Thank God
The agony subsided




I’ve seen life renewed with hardly any thought
Golden Boy

Overall Meaning

The song "Golden" by Irons explores themes of self-doubt, the pursuit of dreams, and finding joy amidst uncertainty. The lyrics depict a journey of introspection and resilience, as the singer reflects on their own worthiness of experiencing joy and pursuing their dreams. The opening lines express gratitude for the relief from agony, suggesting a past struggle or pain that has subsided. The singer acknowledges that they have found a new lease on life, without much conscious effort.


The mention of a short kiss and riding a dead wave symbolizes fleeting moments of joy and embracing the unknown. The singer yearns to see someone they care about, represented by the line "Until the last time that I see you in that dress," possibly indicating a longing for connection or closure. However, the singer doubts their own worthiness of experiencing joy, stating "I know I don’t deserve to have it." The term "Golden Boy" may refer to an idealized version of oneself or a person who seems to radiate happiness and success. The singer sarcastically dismisses the other person's dreams, laughing them off, possibly revealing a fear of pursuing their own dreams due to societal expectations or past criticism.


Despite the singer's apprehensions, they continue to search for something they don't despise, suggesting a desire to find genuine passion or purpose. The repeated mention of dying alone reflects a fear of failure and loneliness. However, a shift in perspective occurs when a voice encourages the singer to look up, appreciate the horizon, and let go of burdens. This voice urges them to embrace the freedom and possibilities of the world, empowering them to seize their dreams.

Lyrics:

Somethin isn’t right
Just blind leading the blind
We fall & think we fly
But nobody is on the ground to catch us
No one will catch us
Something isn’t right
When love is suicide
Cause we would rather die
Than spend a night without a wall around us
Just walls around us
Hey Ho
Raise up your hands and pray
Hey Ho
This ends today
Here we go
Whoa oh
High and the low
Whoa oh
Toxic and bold
Whoa oh
Like iron and gold
Whoa oh
Iron and Gold
Iron and Gold
Something isn’t right
No one’s on your side
And there’s no place to hide
You know that the past is right behind you
It’s gonna catch you
Something isn’t right
Cause we just shined a light
On all the sin you hide
Your darkness doesn’t understand the truth
That shines on you
Hey Ho
Raise up your hands & pray
Hey Ho
Cause you end today
