Golden Hour
The Electric Swing Circus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A story that unfolds this way
Is only bound to eb away
Illuminating our concern
Exaggerated when the light hits you that way

Was it comfy under the wing
Your sacrifice to reign supreme
But in the golden hour
Easy to forget its over now

Your back here for trouble again
We know just what you're like
We see you struggle when
You squeeze your way into my life
Back here for trouble again
We know just what you're like
Time to quite your wriggling
Oh when will you be satisfied

I love it when the light hits you that way
Such ecstasy in my escape
Now I see you another light
But in the golden hour
It is easy to forget its over now

Your back here for trouble again
We know just what you're like
We see you struggle when
You squeeze your way into my life
Back here for trouble again
We know just what you're like
Time to quite your wriggling
Oh when will you be satisfied

But in the golden hour
Easy to forget its over now

Your back here for trouble again
We know just what you're like
We see you struggle when
You squeeze your way into my life
Back here for trouble again
We know just what you're like
Time to quite your wriggling
Oh when will you be satisfied

Your back here for trouble again
We know just what you're like
We see you struggle when
You squeeze your way into my life
You're back here for trouble again
We know just what you're like




Time to quite your wriggling
Oh when will you be satisfied

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Electric Swing Circus's song "Golden Hour" reflect on a relationship that appears to be nearing its end. The "golden hour" serves as a metaphor for a time when things were better between the two people, but now the light is beginning to fade. The song suggests that one of the people in the relationship is causing trouble and is unable to be satisfied. The lyrics tell the story of someone who is struggling to hold onto the comfort and familiarity of a past love, but ultimately must recognize that it is over.


The first verse illustrates the fleeting nature of time and how relationships are often bound to end. The golden hour represents a time in which everything seemed perfect and illuminated, but the light is now fading. The second verse suggests that one of the people in the relationship is responsible for bringing trouble into the other person's life. The lyrics repeatedly ask when this person will be satisfied, indicating that they are always searching for something more and cannot appreciate what they already have. The chorus repeats the idea that the person is back for trouble again and the other person knows exactly what they are like. The golden hour serves as a reminder that although things may have once been great, it is time to move on.


Overall, "Golden Hour" is a melancholy song about the end of a relationship. It highlights the idea that relationships take work, and sometimes things just don't work out. The song suggests that it is important to remember the good times, but also to recognize when it is time to let go.
