Goldmine
Kimbra Lyrics

Move you can't touch it with your two hands
This goldmine is not physical and cannot be grasped by ordinary means

You can't find it with the third eye
Even spiritual exploration cannot lead to discovering this goldmine

I've been thirsting in the mud lands
The singer has been searching desperately for this goldmine in difficult circumstances

For a well, it can't run dry, oh
This goldmine is a source of abundance that will never be depleted

Passed down to me through the wind
This goldmine has been inherited from the past, but not through a tangible means of transfer

And in the silence of the white sound
This goldmine is closely connected to silence, to the absence of noise

It's always hidden in the dark night
There is something mysterious and shrouded about this goldmine

Dug up from the cold ground
This goldmine was discovered in a difficult or rough environment

But it goes over the heart, and over the head
This goldmine transcends both emotional and intellectual understanding

Over and above all the words they said
This goldmine cannot be described or defined by language or expression

Be still my heart
The singer implores their own heart to be calm and peaceful

Be still my head
The artist implores their own mind to be calm and peaceful

'Cause I got a goldmine, it's all mine
The singer has found this goldmine and cherishes it as their own exclusive possession

Nobody can touch this gold of mine
This goldmine is inviolable, a treasure that cannot be taken away

Sweep through the brimstone, peek through the fire
Even enduring great hardship, nothing can damage or diminish this goldmine

And it's burning in the furnace
This goldmine is not just valuable, but is actively burning bright with heat and energy

And the fire in the third eye
This goldmine has a connection to spiritual sight

No you won't find it on the surface
This goldmine cannot be found just by looking at external appearances or material things

It rises out of the war cry
This goldmine is linked to the expression of human struggles and challenges

Go and get past all the words they said
The value of this goldmine is not in what is said, but must be discovered through experience or action

They're all runnin' to the gold rush
Many people are pursuing wealth or other tangible material goods, but the artist has found something more precious

They're all runnin' to the river
People are obsessed with superficial things and easy gains, while the artist values something deeper and rarer

Hey, don't speak loud, keep it hushed
The singer wants to keep this goldmine secret or exclusive, not to be shared with those who do not understand or appreciate it

'Cause we about to be delivered, ooh
By possessing this goldmine, the artist feels that they have achieved a form of liberation or salvation

I got a goldmine
This line repeats and emphasizes the singer's satisfaction and pride in having found this elusive and valuable treasure
