Sold
Stone Cold Fox Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey kid come back home
Lock all the doors and sing this song
Take a good look in the mirror, yeah this is who you are
Take a drag to make it clearer, yeah you've made it here this far

Hey you
Hey you
Hey you
Hey you

Hey kid sell it all
Throw out the keys and hear this call
I know the truth you're searching for
But you won't find it in that hall
And I know the world has been explored
But you haven't seen it all

Hey you
Hey you
Hey you
Hey you
Buyer, bought, and sold

And I know that all my life would never hold to my design
And I know that all my wishful thinking would fade away with time




And I know that every day is just another left behind
That everything I'm searching for is only in my mind

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Sold" by Stone Cold Fox speak to the struggles of finding oneself in a world that constantly seeks to commodify and sell you. The opening lines of "Hey kid come back home, lock all the doors and sing this song" conjure up images of someone who has been wandering, lost and alone, and has finally come back to their safe space. The song seems to be addressed to this lost individual, encouraging them to take a step back and reflect on who they are. The next line, "Take a good look in the mirror, yeah this is who you are," suggests that this person has been living a life that is not authentic to them. The person is encouraged to take a drag to make things clearer, indicating that the song might be talking about substance use as a way to escape from life's problems.


In the next verse, the person is encouraged to sell it all and throw out the keys, implying that they need to let go of everything that they think defines them. The truth that they seek won't be found in the hall, suggesting that what they need is not external, but within themselves. The line "I know the world has been explored but you haven't seen it all" could mean that the person has not yet experienced everything the world has to offer and that they should not settle for what they know but rather explore further.


The chorus "Hey you, hey you, buyer, bought, and sold" highlights the commodification of people's lives and personalities to fit into society's expectations. The final verse "And I know that all my life would never hold to my design, and I know that all my wishful thinking would fade away with time, and I know that every day is just another left behind, that everything I'm searching for is only in my mind" emphasizes the idea that the person needs to stop searching outside themselves and realize that everything they need is within them.


Overall, "Sold" draws attention to the extreme commodification of individuals in our society and encourages people to find their own way and not be sold into a one-size-fits-all model. The song suggests that the path to authenticity and personal fulfillment comes from within.
