Gold
May feat. Robot Koch Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So I try
To remind me of love
To forget all the wrong
Words collide
Every time we touch
We collide

Your frame makes me cringe
'Cause your truth is on the fringe

Still we are
Fool's gold
Cold as
Fool's gold
We said they're all
'Cross the shore
All on your ghost
Up and down the thoughts

Shadows rush
Into your dark
Out of sight
We walk
We follow the moon
To the shimmery woods
To the search our roots

Your frame makes me cringe
'Cause your truth is on the fringe

Still we are
Fool's gold
Cold as
Fool's gold
We said they're all
'Cross the shore
All on your ghost
Up and down the thoughts

Yeah yeah hey
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah hey

Yeah yeah hey
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah hey

Yeah we are
Fool's gold
Cold as
Fool's gold
Said they're all
'Cross the shore
All on your ghost
Up and down the thoughts

Yeah yeah hey
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah hey

Yeah yeah hey
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah hey

Said they're all
'Cross the shore




All on your ghost
Up and down the thoughts

Overall Meaning

The song "Gold" by May feat. Robot Koch is a melancholy reflection on the complex and turbulent nature of love. The singer tries to remember the positive emotions associated with love while trying to forget the pain and hurt that also comes with it. The lyrics suggest that every time they touch, words collide, indicating that the communication breakdown between the couple is causing difficulties. Despite the turmoil, they continue to cling to each other like fool's gold, a symbol of false value and something that appears precious but is actually worthless. The singer's cringe-worthy reaction to their partner's frame highlights the fundamental difference in their beliefs and values.


The song also describes a journey taken together by the couple, both physically and metaphorically, as they walk in the moonlit woods searching for their roots. This search can be interpreted either as a quest for a deeper understanding of each other, or as a desire to reconnect with their true selves. The shadows that rush into the dark reflect the uncertainties and fears that accompany such a journey.


In summary, the song "Gold" is a reflection on the paradoxical nature of love. It is something that can bring joy and pain and is often difficult to understand, but it is still something that we want to hold onto.
