Golden
Major Deluxe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everything golden reminds me of you
All of the sunsets of every year's June
Waves of grain contain your hair
I always loved to watch you there

With a golden smile upon your face
Walking through fields at a golden pace
Even your anger was bullets of gold
But a cold metal statue isn't easy to hold

I tried to convince you that you had no feelings
But I wasn't worth the coin I was dealing




You know that I'm slow in life and in birth
It took me too long to realize your worth

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Major Deluxe's song Golden seem to be a reflection on a past relationship. The first two lines, "Everything golden reminds me of you/All of the sunsets of every year's June," indicate that the singer associates the color gold with this person and specifically recalls the month of June. This could also suggest that the relationship began or ended during the summer months. The following two lines, "Waves of grain contain your hair/I always loved to watch you there," paints a picture of the person in a natural setting, perhaps running through a field in the sunlight.


The next four lines describe the person's demeanor, using the word "golden" to describe their smile and pace through a field. However, this person's anger is also described as "bullets of gold," which could imply that their temper was intense but quickly fleeting. The final line of this stanza, "But a cold metal statue isn't easy to hold," switches to a more negative tone, suggesting that the singer found it difficult to hold onto this person in a more permanent way.


The final two lines, "I tried to convince you that you had no feelings/But I wasn't worth the coin I was dealing," reveals that the singer may have struggled with their self-worth and sought validation from this person who they may have perceived as emotionally unavailable. The last line, "It took me too long to realize your worth," is a reflection on missed opportunities and a recognition of the value of this person.

That was excellent! My best session on that game was at the golden nugget. I was playing 38 on nickles and got a bonus like that where I unlocked it all the way to the top and won a little over $900.

I got to the same level just yesterday at Rosie's in Hampton -- 48 free spins total, $1557.70 on $5.28 bet and tax-free since it was on an HHR machine (over $600 but not over 300x the spin bet)!

@slotsofcoffee108
