Gold On The Shore
Ty Segall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is the rose that I gave you before
A sweet summer breeze is out there
These are the showers that latch on the door
These are the plans in our hearts
Made in the sun and the gold on the shore
This is the grain in our lands
That fall like the sands and will fly evermore
A kiss in the wind, tonight, girl
This is the rose that I gave you before
A sweet summer breeze is out there
These are the showers that latch on the door
These are the plans in our hearts
Made in the sun and the gold on the shore
This is the grain in our lands
That fall like the sands and will fly evermore
So far away into the sun
And let your minds lead our eyes wrong
Don't fear change, live some!

A kiss in the wind, tonight, girl
He is sharing a romantic moment with his partner in the wind's embrace
This is the rose that I gave you before
He previously gave her a rose as a token of his love
A sweet summer breeze is out there
The surrounding air is aromatic and odorless
These are the showers that latch on the door
The continuous rainfall is tapping at the doorstep
These are the plans in our hearts
Future aspirations and dreams of their life ahead
Made in the sun and the gold on the shore
Made under the rich warmth of the sun and the golden sand of the seashore
This is the grain in our lands
The tiny grains of sand located on their land
That fall like the sands and will fly evermore
The grains of sand will fall and be carried away by the wind
So far away into the sun
With positive energy and distant from negativity
And let your minds lead our eyes wrong
Your imagination can guide you to the path of success
Don't fear change, live some!
Take risks confidently and enjoy every single moment of life
