Glitter And Gold
Little Daylight Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Head down all adrenaline
Whoa oh, you can fight through this
You know what you stand to
Let up and you wonder why
Stage lights leave you paralyze
Whoa oh, you know
You fly like a meteor
Burn bright through the universe
'cause you're glitter and gold
You just gotta let go
Tonight you're electrical
Unchained like an animal
You're glitter and gold
And I want you to know
That you're glitter and gold
One me ...
Your star rising up tonight
This crowd, it moves with you
Their eyes are all I knew
Tough night in a lion's den
One you and a million men
Whoa oh, you know
This time you're old
And it'll be alright
If you close your eyes
You own the night
And everybody will know
That you're glitter and gold
You fly like a meteor
Burn bright through the universe
'cause you're glitter and gold
You just gotta let go
Tonight you're electrical
Unchained like an animal
You're glitter and gold
And I want you to know
That you're glitter and gold
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Glitter, glitter and gold
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Glitter, glitter and gold
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Glitter, glitter and gold
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Glitter
You fly like a meteor
Burn bright through the universe
'cause you're glitter and gold
You just gotta let go
Tonight you're electrical
Unchained like an animal
You're glitter and gold
And I want you to know
That you're glitter and gold
(glitter, glitter and gold)
(glitter, glitter and gold)
The lyrics of "Glitter And Gold" by Little Daylight depict a story of an individual who is struggling with their confidence and courage. The song opens with the line: "Some nights, courage running thin, head down all adrenaline," which suggests the singer is feeling overwhelmed and uncertain. However, the chorus encourages the listener to let go and embrace their inner light: "You fly like a meteor, burn bright through the universe, 'cause you're glitter and gold, you just gotta let go."
The second verse presents the singer confronting a challenging situation, in which they are faced with a large audience ("This crowd, it moves with you, their eyes are all I knew"). The line "Tough night in a lion's den, one you and a million men" reinforces the idea that the individual is fighting against overwhelming odds, but with the encouragement to let go of their fears they will rise to the occasion.
The overall message of the song is one of empowerment - it encourages the listener to embrace their talents and let their inner light shine. Though the lyrics speak of challenging situations, the chorus suggests that with courage and confidence, one can rise above adversity.
