GOLD
M.I.A. & The Partysquad Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want to live,
I want to give
I've been a miner for a heart of gold
All these expressions I never give
That keep me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
I want to live
I want to give
I've been a miner for a heart of gold
All these expressions I never give
That keep me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.
I've been to Hollywood
I've been to Redwood
I crossed the ocean for a heart of gold
I've been in my mind, it's such a fine line
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold
Been a miner for a heart of gold
Crossed the ocean for a heart of gold
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold
Been a miner for a heart of gold
Crossed the ocean for a heart of gold
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold
Been a miner for a heart of gold
Crossed the ocean for a heart of gold
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold
Been a miner for a heart of gold
Crossed the ocean for a heart of gold




Keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old

Overall Meaning

The song "Gold" by M.I.A. & The Partysquad is a cover of the classic folk-rock song "Heart of Gold" by Neil Young. The lyrics talk about the desire to find love and purpose in life, and the struggle to do so as time goes on.


The singer wants to live and give but feels like they haven't found the right path yet. They have been searching for a "heart of gold" - a pure and true love - through different experiences and locations, but still haven't found it. They feel like they're getting old and time is running out.


The references to Hollywood and Redwood indicate the pursuit of fame and success, but the singer realizes that these external things cannot replace the need for genuine human connection. The line "I've been in my mind, it's such a fine line" suggests a struggle with inner turmoil and introspection, which further highlights the search for meaning in life.


Overall, the song delivers a poignant message about the importance of finding love, purpose, and authenticity in life, and the difficulty of doing so in a world full of distractions and illusions.
