Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Rita Redshoes' song 'Golden Era' are rather intriguing and could be interpreted in different ways. On one hand, they could be seen as a warning to someone to not deceive the singer with a fake smile, as they are trying to move on from them. However, on the other hand, they could also be interpreted as a declaration of love and a plea for the person not to hide their true feelings, as the singer will go after them if they do.

The words "Don't show your content smile" could mean that the person is trying to pretend that everything is okay when in reality it's not. Perhaps they are trying to fool the singer into thinking that they don't care when they actually do, or maybe they are trying to hide their own pain. The line "But if you try to hide, my love, I will get you" suggests that the singer is not willing to accept any deception and will pursue the person regardless of their actions.

Overall, 'Golden Era' could be seen as a plea for honesty and openness in a relationship. It could also be seen as a warning to not play games with the singer's heart.

Line by Line Meaning

Don't show your content smile
Don't pretend to be happy because I can see through it and it only reminds me of what we once had.

'Cause I'm trying to forget
I'm trying to move on from our past relationship and seeing you smile makes it difficult.

But if you try to hide
If you try to conceal your emotions from me, I will discover them eventually.

My love, I will get you
I am still in love with you and no matter how hard you try to hide, I will find a way to express my feelings towards you again.
