Gold
Pastel Lite Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We should grab our shoes and start dancing
We should tell our friends that we are free
We should start a show and start singing
About the many things that we wont be

And all the little girls will start to talk
Lay it out on me, lay it out on me
And all the little boys will break my heart
You can count on it, you can count on it

Bruise that scar
Clear your mind
Bleed that heart
With your might

The truth is
We would never know
What we had was gold
What we had was gold
The truth is
It would never show
Cause the timing's off
Cause the timing's off
The truth is
We would never know
What we had was gold
What we had was gold
The truth is
It would never show
Cause the timing's off
Cause the timing's off

Bruise that scar
Clear your mind
Bleed that heart
With your might

The truth is
We would never know
What we had was gold
What we had was gold
The truth is
It would never show
Cause the timing's off
Cause the timing's off
The truth is
We would never know
What we had was gold
What we had was gold
The truth is
The truth is




The truth is
The timing's off

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Gold" by Pastel Lite depict a sense of regret and lost opportunity. The song's upbeat tempo contradicts the melancholic undertones of the lyrics, creating a bittersweet contrast. The artist begins by urging the listeners to enjoy the moment and cherish their freedom by dancing and singing, highlighting the transient nature of life. She uses the imagery of little girls talking and the little boys breaking her heart, suggesting a fleeting moment that will pass and be lost in memory. The chorus indicates that they had something valuable, but it went unrecognized because of the timing being off. The artist seems to advise the listeners to clear their minds, face their scars, and fight for what they believe in, as they may have missed out on something precious because they gave up too soon.


The lyrics of "Gold" are open to interpretation and can mean different things to different people. However, the song's mood is that of nostalgia and missed opportunities. The artist uses the analogy of gold to symbolize something valuable that they had, but it went unnoticed. The timing being off can be interpreted as missed opportunities or an unfortunate set of circumstances that hindered the realization of something special.
