Golden
Kavya Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bow and arrow,
Stand at ease,
Mark your aim.
Don’t play for somebody else’s heart
Leave it alone.
In the start
Your knees won’t hold my weight,
Just don’t let me fall, below, the earth, it’s shattered.
Seed me in the dirt
Do your part.
Blooms and it blooms and it blooms, and I’m a carnation darling,
You won’t really see me fold in,
With air I flow.
You fail for one more moment,
And I’ll know that you were lying.
Can’t you see that everything that you do is crystal clear.
Your heart was never golden
For you were really moulding.
Just don’t let me fall, below, you know I’ve flowered.
Take me always, in your palms
Blooms and it blooms and it blooms, and I’m a carnation darling,
You won’t really see me fold in,
With air I flow.
The song "Golden" by Kavya seems to be a song about love, trust, and betrayal. The opening lines talk about marking your aim with a bow and arrow and not playing for someone else's heart, indicating the importance of being focused when it comes to matters of the heart. The next line "Leave it alone, in the start your knees won't hold my weight" suggests that the singer is skeptical of a potential lover's ability to hold her up and keep her from falling.
The chorus "Just don't let me fall, below, the earth, it's shattered. Seed me in the dirt, do your part" seems to be a plea for the potential lover not to let her down, but to nurture her like a plant so she can grow and bloom. The line "Your heart was never golden, for you were really moulding" indicates that the potential lover had a hidden agenda and never really had any genuine feelings for the singer.
The second verse talks about the potential lover failing one more moment and being caught in a lie. The singer urges the potential lover to see that everything they do is crystal clear, and that their heart was never golden. The singer seems to have realized the potential lover's true nature and just wants to be taken care of and allowed to grow and flourish.
