Overall Meaning

The song "Gothic Ring" by Triceratops is a romantic tune about the desire to make someone happy by finding them the perfect gift. The first verse talks about a magazine that is no longer in circulation and how the singer will hurry to try and find a copy for their partner. The second verse reveals that their partner had desired a gothic ring that the singer has since obtained, and they contemplate how much happiness it would bring if they were to reveal their secret gift. The chorus repeats twice, with the singer expressing their desire to be together with their partner forever and their willingness to search for things that will make them happy.
