Golden
The Brahms Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

oh how the world has walked out on us
but it's not out fault
it's just what it does
give it a year
I'm sure it will come around
just follow the set-backs
we're on the right track
give me a reason
I'll make it easy on ya
there's a story still left untold
and it wants us to walk
the uncommon road
we are golden
we are golden
we are golden
we are
we are rebels
there's an escape plan
for when the world ends
we'll slip away
like nothing has happened
follow the traces of all the fallen victors
now some days I could
but some still uncertain
still got the feeling
just behind the curtain
that lies an answer
we choose to ignore
but it's everything that we've been looking for
we are golden
we are golden
we are golden
we are
we are rebels
golden
we are golden
we are golden
we are
we are rebels
away
from home
and the next thing you know
you might rewatch your soul
and after the show
we are golden
we are golden
we are golden
we are
we are rebels
golden
we are golden
we are golden
we are
we are rebels
we are rebels
we are rebels




we are rebels
we are rebels

Overall Meaning

The opening lines "oh how the world has walked out on us, but it's not our fault, it's just what it does" suggest that the world has turned its back on them despite their best efforts. However, the next lines "give it a year, I'm sure it will come around, just follow the set-backs, we're on the right track" indicate their unwavering belief that things will eventually get better and they should just keep going.


The chorus "we are golden, we are rebels" reaffirms their determination and indicates their rebellious spirit, refusing to be defeated by the setbacks and challenges they face. The lyrics also suggest that there's an untold story waiting for them and they must walk the uncommon road to discover it. They believe that the answer lies just behind the curtain, which they choose to ignore, but realize that it's everything they've been looking for.

Dit nummer een paar keer op de radio voorbij horen komen en het speciaal ge-shazamt om deze irritatie een naam te kunnen geven. Nu maar hopen dat er een medicijn bestaat tegen de jeuk!

@WmJoseSinclair

try Vampire Weekend as well, light dance pop with multiple rhythms, then after you hear their songs, the REMIXES are even better, like George Martin (Beatles) got the tapes and then had a field day.. relentless creativity, tho some prefer the originals -- for me the remixes approach the complexity of Stravinsky, in a good way

@grootjohn

Dit liedje is toch 1 op 1 Bombay Bicycle Club? Net zoals Homerun precies Vampire Weekend is.

Maar is dat erg? Nee! Helemaal niet. Ik vind het heerlijk!
