Lost & Found
Les Gold Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You slept with no one around
All I remember, do you remember?
Gave up so lonely because
They left you under the bus
All I remember, do you remember?
Got in off of the street
Ashes in my backseat
We drove 'round my block all night
Reminiscing
So you could pick up all the teeth
That you were missing
Lost and found
Such trash, a past full of hope
Paint it silver or gold
And none of it is shining
Burn out and push me away
Blue skies, covered in gray
Blacking out into the sunset
We drove 'round my block all night
Reminiscing
So you could pick up all the teeth
That you were missing
Lost and found
Since 26
I've felt distant
'Cause you remind me of myself
When I've gone missing
Fade to silence for a while
It's no wonder
That when the curtain finally calls
The heart grows fonder
We drove 'round my block all night
Reminiscing
So you could pick up all the teeth
That you were missing
Lost and found
And when that car runs out of gas
We'll pullover
So you can walk the streets again
Until you're sober
Lost and found
In "Lost & Found", Les Gold appears to be reminiscing about a lost relationship. The first verse is about the woman's loneliness and the singer's attempt to pick her up. The second verse refers to their shared past and how it's not perfect, but can be improved by painting it silver or gold. The bridge reveals the singer relates to her because he, too, feels distant at 26. In the final verse, he reflects on how their brief separation made his heart grow fonder. He also speaks of letting her walk the streets until she sobers up.
The chorus, "Lost and found", seems to suggest the singer's belief that there is always hope for new beginnings, even in the midst of past failures or defeats. He's trying to push the idea that life is a journey that has ups and downs, and it's up to us to find the positives in those experiences. While the lyrics are quite ambiguous, it's possible that the song relates to the singer's girl or a personal experience in his life.

Since 26
Starting at 26 years of age
I've felt distant
I have felt emotionally disconnected
'Cause you remind me of myself
You have similar traits to me
When I've gone missing
When I have been unavailable
Fade to silence for a while
Become unresponsive for a period
It's no wonder
It's not surprising
That when the curtain finally calls
When the time comes for an end to arrive
The heart grows fonder
Feelings of affection increase when someone is gone
And when that car runs out of gas
When the car we're in runs out of fuel
We'll pullover
We'll stop on the side of the road
So you can walk the streets again
So you can continue reflecting on your past
Until you're sober
Until you're no longer overwhelmed by emotions
Lost and found
Recovering something that was once lost

on Silver Platters
Start drinking alcohol
Drink from the bottle and swallow the alcohol
Reflecting on missed opportunities and the influence of faith
Putting on formal attire
Noticing a familiar pattern of behavior
Trying to shake off the fear of being average or ordinary
Take a chance and do something bold
No need to be overly polite or cautious
You could achieve greatness, and be remembered forever
Only by taking risks can you achieve greatness
Continuing on with life, despite its ups and downs
An expression of surprise
Perceiving self-destructive coping mechanisms as
a comfort; Despite their negative effects.
Addressing a large group of people
Still struggling to see things clearly
Living recklessly and paying the price later
A tragic situation where a child is suffering
A sudden, intense burst of light
Realizing that the clothes you're wearing don't match
Not having experienced love or affection
Birds perching on tree branches
Uncertain or uneasy positions
Going through the highs and lows of new relationships
What does it really mean if something is broken or flawed?
Luxury items enjoyed by those who engage in conflicts
Taking a bold step forward
This is what was desired or expected
Referring to physical beauty
What was really behind the outward appearance or behavior?
A need for changes or improvements
Sometimes making mistakes is necessary for growth
Being aware of the universe around us
Stop being distracted by meaningless entertainment
Making decisive moves or changes
Causing further separation and conflicts
Focusing on a new goal or purpose
Reflecting on what was overlooked or neglected
Strong feelings or sensations
Putting your loyalty or commitment to the test
Realizing how much you can change when you stop living on autopilot
A white-skinned girl dancing with more energy or enthusiasm
Breaking up with a previous partner who was a terrible person
Referring to difficult situations and those who shape them
Searching for a solution or explanation
Resigning yourself to a higher power or authority
The realization that you were meant to do this all along
Luxury items enjoyed by those who engage in conflicts
