Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Follow the golden fox
Through the golden door
Take the golden key
Go down the golden hall

Through the golden filter
See the golden light
Through the golden filter
See the golden light

Give it one last try
Make it solid gold
Give it one last try
Make it solid gold
Give it one last try
Make it solid gold
Give it one last try
Make it solid gold

Follow the golden fox
Through the golden door
Take the golden key
Go down the golden hall

Through the golden filter
See the golden light
Through the golden filter
See the golden light

Give it one last try
Make it solid gold
Give it one last try
Make it solid gold
Give it one last try
Make it solid gold




Give it one last try
Make it solid gold

I saw them live. They don't play records. They have instruments and a vocalist. They have talent. If you think it's so boring why not try making something better. I'm sure it's not easy. Thank you very much.

"follow the golden fox" and "through the golden filter" epic lines. I don't know or care or want to know what it really means, I love not knowing. So wonderfully ambiguous and yet evokes such a strong image.

@88atrain
