Solid Gold
Monster Magnet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh baby, you got that Solid Gold
And I know how to get things done
Come and live with me if you got no place to go
Well I'm sure I could find some way
To call them doggies out to play
You really got me out on my hair
You really got the rising sun
You and your Solid Gold, yeah
You gotta be the only one
That can always make me groan, yeah
Now there's very few things in life
That can ever stop me cold
And heaven just comes on down
When you take off your clothes
Well I'm sure I could find some way
To call them doggies out to play
You really got me out on my hair
Oh yeah, gotta my thing red for you
You really got the rising sun
You and your Solid Gold, now, oh baby
You gotta be the only one
That can always make me groan, oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Goddamn, you're a sight to see
Ain't never felt this before, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
No money comes back to me
Humping that Solid Gold, hey
I'll never be round you or floating
No place that I'd rather be
The primal forces of nature
If you could see what I see
You really got the rising sun
You and your Solid Gold, baby
You gotta be the only one
That can always make me groan, yeah
Goddamn, you're a sight to see
Ain't never felt this before
No money comes back to me
Humping that Solid Gold, yeah
The lyrics to Monster Magnet's song Solid Gold seem to be about a strong sexual attraction to someone, who is referred to as the "rising sun" with a solid gold quality. The opening line, "I wanna skin, you're the rising sun" suggests a desire to be close to this person. The line "And I know how to get things done" implies a confidence in the ability to fulfill that desire. The lyrics portray the person as someone who is able to turn the singer on and make them feel good. The lines "You gotta be the only one/That can always make me groan" further emphasize this point.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of raw, animalistic desire. The line "I could find some way/To call them doggies out to play" suggests a willingness to let go of inhibitions and indulge in primal instincts. The line "When you take off your clothes" also reinforces this sense of rawness.
The final lines "No money comes back to me/Humping that Solid Gold" suggest a transcendence beyond materialism and into a realm of pure pleasure and gratification. The song seems to be celebrating the primal, raw, and animalistic aspects of sex and desire.
Overall, the lyrics to Solid Gold convey a strong and confident sexual desire for someone with a solid gold quality, someone who is able to turn the singer on and make them feel good.

Absolutely fantastic album that I like more and more every time I hear it. Thanks for the great songs David.
Charlie Apple
Bought it when it came back. Lost this album, but still love it and jam it here! Also lost "Tab..." along with Clutch's "Slow Hole (2009)" and Auerback's "Keep it Hid." The ones you lose are the ones you buy again and cling to tighter...
