Golden
Max George Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don’t live in black and white, do we?
It’s just another fight to me
If we don’t take it on we won’t get far
It seems so far away but so close
It’s there for us to take when most
Would waste it, don’t waste it
All:
And we try and we fall
And we live another day
And we rise like a phoenix
From the flames
And it burns but it turns out golden
Jay:
We loved to dream aloud
With both feet on the ground
But where’s the sense in that?
We’d never get it back
We’d be wasted
Nathan:
We’d be wasted
All:
And we try and we fall
And we live another day
And we rise like a phoenix
From the flames
And it burns but it turns out golden
And went for the sky
And we fell down low
And flew too high
But we still survived 'cause you and I
We turned out Golden
Tom:
They tore it to pieces
We’ll build it again
Siva:
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
All:
And we try and we fall
And we live another day
And we rise like a phoenix
From the flames
And it burns but it turns out golden
And went for the sky
And fell down low
And flew too high
But we still survived 'cause you and I
We turned out Golden

The real reason singers became world wide pop stars and his solo career blow up was because of the freemasonry hand signs he show`d again and again. The 2 popular hand signs M J used often were 666 and devil horns.
In most cases the singer shows at least 4 hand signs and these are:
666
devil horns
one eye
tongue showing aka mocking.
The talent may be there, but the hand signs must be there. Thats how a soul becomes a “rich and famous” singer or actor.
