GOLD
Jaws Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take me, take me over to the left side
I'll be, I'll be waiting on the right side for you
Take me, take me over to the left side
I'll be, I'll be waiting on the right side for you

Take me, take me where the gold drips from the sun to my back
Take me, take me where the gold drips from the sun to my back
Break me, break me up into the ocean
A thousand pieces I don't wanna see
Break me, break me up into the ocean
I don't wanna see, make me blind





Take me, take me where the gold drips from the sun to my back
Take me, take me where the gold drips from the sun to my back

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jaws's song "Gold" depict a strong desire to escape from reality and be transported to a place where the sun shines brightly and pure gold drips like rain. The repeated phrase "take me, take me over to the left side, I'll be waiting on the right side for you" hints at an eagerness to leave behind the present situation and be carried away to a better place.


Moreover, in the following lines "Take me, take me where the gold drips from the sun to my back", the imagery of gold dripping from the sun to the singer's back is a metaphorical representation of experiencing pure warmth, happiness, and success. The desire to experience this harmony leads the singer to wish for a complete physical break away from everything, represented by the line, "Break me, break me up into the ocean. A thousand pieces, I don't wanna see. Break me, break me up into the ocean. I don't wanna see, make me blind."


The song's optimistic melody and the dreamlike atmosphere created by the lyrics suggest longing, the desire for adventure, and change. The song's cinematic soundscapes reflect the singer's need to absorb themselves in a universe of hope, peace, and immortality.

I'll be, I'll be waiting on the right side for you
I'll be your support system and stand by your side through thick and thin

I don't want to see the fragments of pain, please make me blind

Why is this band not getting as much credit as they should?! These guys are really great!

@sambarker930

+Jordan Mann if they become mainstream theyll become shit though

@googlebanmetoomuch2601

Because rock died in the late 00's. Only legacy acts get promo

@Shak100

so underrated, their time will come

@danielaGarcia0014

Hopefully

@MrNobody_Music

+Shakik1 I love the fact that they're underrated, it gives them a cooler vibe

@dragonflyd01

They made it on to rocksmith 2014 which was pretty mad

@amosleonardocabrera4019

+MrBlue but they do this for a living so they could really use the recognition and they're tremendous

@MrNobody_Music

Amos Cabrera I'd love them to get the recognition they deserve but because they aren't stereotypical pop music they'll probably just be big in the indie scene which is just as good
