Sebastien Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where did we go wrong?
Hey, I thought we had it all, baby
I can't work out what you want
You say that maybe we're fading

I don't wanna hear truth
Don't see no war with you
I don't wanna hear the truth, no
Take me back to where we were
To a place that doesn't hurt
Take me back to where we were

'Cause I can't let you go
'Cause you said we were gold, gold, gold
No, I can't let you go
'Cause you said we were gold, gold, gold
Gold (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
'Cause you said we were
'Cause you said we were gold, gold
'Cause you said we were gold

'Cause you said we were gold
Gold
'Cause you said we were gold, gold, gold
'Cause you said we were gold, gold, gold
'Cause you said we were
'Cause you said we were
'Cause you said we were gold, gold, gold
Gold
'Cause you said we were gold

I don't wanna hear truth
Don't see no war with you
I don't wanna hear the truth, no
Take me back to where we were
To a place that doesn't hurt
Take me back to where we were, were

'Cause I can't let you go
'Cause you said we were gold, gold, gold
No, I can't let you go
'Cause you said we were gold, gold, gold

Overall Meaning

In Sebastien's song "Gold," the singer reflects on a relationship that has lost its spark. He questions where things went wrong and expresses confusion about his partner's desires. He longs to go back to a time when things were easier and less painful. Despite the relationship being troubled, the singer cannot bear the thought of letting go because his partner once promised him that they were "gold."


The song's chorus repeats the phrase "Cause you said we were gold" as a testament to the power of the spoken word in romantic relationships. The promise of being "gold" implies that the relationship was valuable and precious. The repetition of this phrase serves as both a reminder of the past and a hope for the future.


The song's lyrics also reflect a universal experience of attempting to make sense of a relationship's end. The singer's desire to return to a happier place with his partner is a relatable sentiment. Moreover, his reluctance to let go of what he perceives to be a good relationship, despite it's current state, shows how hope and nostalgia can cloud one's judgement.

¿Dónde salió mal?
Oye, pensé que lo teníamos todo, bebé.
No puedo resolver lo que quieres
Dices que tal vez estamos desapareciendo.

No quiero escuchar la verdad
No veo ninguna guerra contigo
No quiero escuchar la verdad, no.
Llévame de regreso a donde estábamos
A un lugar que no duele
Llévame de regreso a donde estábamos

"Porque no puedo dejarte ir
"Porque dijiste que éramos oro, oro, oro
No, no puedo dejarte ir
"Porque dijiste que éramos oro, oro, oro
Oro

Mi amor
Mi amor
Mi amor

No hay necesidad de echar la culpa.
Dijiste que lo resolveríamos lentamente.
Pues lo intenté pero las cosas cambian.
Mira, oí que tienes un nuevo trofeo.

No quiero escuchar la verdad
No veo ninguna guerra contigo
No quiero escuchar la verdad, no.
Llévame de regreso a donde estábamos
A un lugar que no duele
Llévame a donde estábamos, estábamos

"Porque no puedo dejarte ir
"Porque dijiste que éramos oro, oro, oro
No, no puedo dejarte ir
"Porque dijiste que éramos oro, oro, oro
Oro

Mi amor
Mi amor
Mi amor
"Porque no puedo dejarte ir
"Porque dijiste que éramos oro, oro, oro
No, no puedo dejarte ir
"Porque dijiste que éramos oro, oro, oro
Oro
