The Golden Age
Trisomie 21 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cars are passing days and night
To where the land finished

And it's my twenty-ninth replay
Of ours embraces

I'm moving - opening new doors
With the keys of your kingdom

I look in the mirror and i say

I kill myself if i ever went blind

Overall Meaning

The song 'The Golden Age' by Trisomie 21 is open to interpretation, but it seems to speak of the passage of time and the significance of love in a person's life. The first line, "Cars are passing days and night," suggests the idea of constant movement, with time slipping away in each passing moment. It is telling how the subject of the song sees the cars as markers of time, indicating not only the present but also the future as the cars move on to where the land finishes. This represents the constant change and uncertainty of life.

The second stanza, "And it's my twenty-ninth replay, of our embraces," could suggest the reminiscence of a past love or a moment between two individuals. The lines, "I'm moving - opening new doors, with the keys of your kingdom," seem to indicate the role that the other person plays in the subject's life. The key to life-changing experiences or unlocking doors to new opportunities is with the partner, and their significance cannot be overstated. Finally, the last line of the song, "I kill myself if I ever went blind," emphasizes the importance of sight as a necessary element in experiencing the beauty of our world; it also recognizes the possibility of losing that sight and everything that the subject might miss out on.
