Golden
The Movement feat. Elliot Martin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I guess you can't measure how much a soul can weigh
And I'll never let this love unfold and fray
So my heart will stay golden after I'm old and grey
Frost say Eden- ya know it sank to grief
Don't mean to offend you but it's not my belief
Wanna scream to the world- there's only hope and peace
When you have a gold heart and give away the gold leaf
But depending on whether the prior scene is told, it's a cycle
Forever infinity remolds the heavens
Relax and let the dream unfold
And why is it so hard for us to see
I'm thinking maybe we're all just in such a rush to be somebody
But first ya know we must be free
And in time you will say- first I must be me…
Frost say nothing gold can stay
I guess you can't measure how much a soul can weigh
And I'll never let this love unfold and fray
So my heart will stay golden after I'm old and grey
Frost say Eden- ya know it sank to grief
Don't mean to offend you but it's not my belief
Wanna scream to the world- there's only hope and peace
When you have a gold heart and give away the gold leaf
Blessed be the water
New wave we honor
Lessons we a keep know gratitude we shout out
Live for each day inside its golden hour
Can't hold it in just give it away
Why frightened men keep fighting always?
Big world asleep but it turning
But the love will increase it no worry
Anywhere we grow the gold seed it returning
Ours is a story that begins today
Who with the power don't forget the grace
Blessed be the water
New wave we honor
Lessons we a keep know gratitude we shout out
We'll be together then
We all recover
Can't keep it in just give it away
Frost say nothing gold can stay
I guess you can't measure how much a soul can weigh
And I'll never let this love unfold and fray
So my heart will stay golden after I'm old and grey
Frost say Eden- ya know it sank to grief
Don't mean to offend you but it's not my belief
Wanna scream to the world- there's only hope and peace
When you have a gold heart and give away the gold leaf
The lyrics to The Movement feat. Elliot Martin's song Golden are about the value of love and the importance of cherishing it. The song references Robert Frost's poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay" in the chorus, which is about how all good things eventually come to an end. However, the song argues that the love in one's heart can stay golden even as one grows old and grey. The lyrics suggest that having a gold heart and giving away the gold leaf - or being generous and kind - is the way to cultivate this lasting love.
The verses expand upon this idea by exploring different interpretations of Frost's poem. For example, "Frost say nature's first green is gold" references the idea that the first leaves of spring are the most precious, but they quickly fade. The song acknowledges the cycles of life, but also argues that we can learn to relax and appreciate the present moment. The lyrics also promote the importance of being true to oneself and finding freedom before trying to be someone else.
The song concludes by repeating the chorus and adding verses about gratitude and coming together as a community. The lyrics suggest that, even as we face struggles and difficulties, we can still find hope and peace through love.

Holy crap, straight up drum and bass style? And still being able to mix in sounds of the islands in with it. You guys did an amazing job on this. I'm absolutely impressed and I just ran into this song. You guys are newer on my playlist by the way, I've heard you before maybe some years back on Pandora but this year and part of last year is responsible for giving me the time to look into you guys. You guys are amazing artists keep doing what you do. If you're not conform to the ways of society. You guys are helping people evolve spiritually. And I hope that that continues for you as well. I hope you're able to continue to rise above. I need more people doing spiritual music that raises the vibration of souls. People operate at a very low frequency. You guys are helping change that. Thank you so much. I know it's tempting being artists but try to stay away from the booze. I'm not sure if you drink or not but I'll tell you what. I grew up drinking and smoking weed and listen to a lot of reggae like bands that did the drink into and you have your free will to do so but I highly encourage you to let it go because there's so much more and so much higher places to be when you let it go. Your frequency starts raising up and you start hitting places that you never knew existed. You start hitting that unknown place. Beautiful thing I love you guys keep working putting out big hit I hope one day that you get recognized for how great you guys truly are. There ain't nothing like it. You guys are one of a kind
