Gold
LOCAL CONNECT Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
本質はじれったい闇に消えるだけ
強い牙も持ってないし 逃げ足が速い訳じゃない
傷つかないようそれなりに生きるだけ
胸の中を突き刺した君の声
無感情な言葉は振りほどいて 雑踏を駆け抜けた
剥がして 嘘くさいメッキはもういらない
そのままで分かち合おう 本当の Eye を
「優しさ」なんて形はない 表裏すらわからない
真偽すらぼやける情けは綺麗なの?
今まで気が付かなかった 君に出会うまでは
本当の強さは何かを守ることだって
この世界変わり果てても 傷を拭って平気な顔で理想を語るんだろう
ぶつかり合うことは怖くないよ
ズレた気持ちは結び直してまた一つになって
切り抜ける絶体絶命を
消えはしないから… 強く強く生きていくんだ
この世界が朽ち果てても 君と僕は生き残っていられるような気がした
剥がして 嘘くさいメッキはもういらない 錆びたって鈍金のままで
素顔のままの 本当の愛を
The lyrics of "Gold" by LOCAL CONNECT represent the inner emotions that are hard to express or show to others. The lyricist portrays the feeling of hiding and re-emerging, disappearing and reappearing without a strong exterior, much like the element gold that is malleable, ductile, and soft. They question the nature of emotions, whether they are genuine or fake, and the beauty of 'pity' or sympathy, which is hard to understand in its entirety. Being vulnerable is considered weak by society, but the lyricist argues that it takes courage to protect the essence of real emotion from being lost in the dark.
The verses are written with meaningful metaphors, representing the real strength of humans to protect what they hold dear, even in a crumbling world. The chorus displays an intense connection between the two people, something unbreakable that survives even after the end of the universe. The song is an inspirational message of finding solace in one another, without the need for any mask or pretense.
Overall, the song reveals the truth that even in a world where humility seems to be a liability, it takes courage to show vulnerability and protect the true essence of emotions. The absence of 'pity’ does not mean that kindness and empathy cannot be felt, it signifies that true emotions are felt within oneself.
