Golden
Victoria Victoria Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Starting line's in the rear view
And my pedal's down
But there's one thing missing
I realize now
Yeah I realize now

Can't deny that I'm in gear
And I made it here

But now I got a shotgun vacancy
But you can fill my right hand seat

So get in the car and we'll follow the open road
Let's leave it all and go and go and
Go and go and
Are you coming with me
Ooooo yeah
'Cause the future's golden golden
Golden golden
Are you coming with me

Headlights and I see it now
The horizon and the bright red glow
Of the unknown
Of the unknown

No man get's left behind
'Cause when we're flying past the finish line
You'll be rising
To the sky

So get in the car and we'll follow the open road
Let's leave it all and go and go and
Go and go and
Are you coming with me
Ooooo yeah
'Cause the future's golden golden
Golden golden
Are you coming with me

Golden golden
Golden golden

Let's leave it all and go and go and
Go and go and

Golden golden

Let's leave it all and go and go and
Go and go and
Let's leave it all and go and go and
Go and go and
Going

So get in the car and we'll follow the open road
Let's leave it all and go and go and
Go and go and
Are you coming with me
Ooooo yeah
'Cause the future's golden golden
Golden golden
Are you coming with me

So get in the car and we'll follow the open road
Let's leave it all and go and go and
Go and go and
Are you coming with me
Ooooo yeah
'Cause the future's golden golden

Golden golden
Are you coming with me

Overall Meaning

"Golden" by Victoria Victoria speaks to the idea of leaving one's past and current situation behind to embark on a new journey towards a brighter future. The singer is driving down the road, leaving their starting line behind, but feels that something is missing. They invite someone to join them, to fill the emptiness beside them, and to embark on this journey towards a bright future. The future is referred to as "golden" which adds a certain warmth, optimism and positivity to the overall message of the song. The lyrics paint a picture of the unknown, but with trust in the journey, and faith that all will be well, they encourage the other person to come along for the ride.

The phrase "Shotgun vacancy" in the second verse is metaphorical, suggesting that while the driver is physically alone, there is room for someone else in their life. The last verse reveals an exciting, almost freeing feeling that comes from having someone by your side. Together, they are not just driving down the road, but flying past the finish line. The use of "Golden" reinforces the idea that a bright, unknown, and shining future is waiting for them.

Starting line's in the rear view
The past is behind and we are moving forward

And my pedal's down
We are moving fast towards our destination

But there's one thing missing
Something is missing in my life that I just realized now

I realize now
I have understood what I need to make my life complete

Can't deny that I'm in gear
We can't ignore that we are on the right path

And I made it here
Our efforts have brought us to where we are now

But now I got a shotgun vacancy
I have a free seat next to me that needs to be filled

But you can fill my right hand seat
You can join me on this journey

So get in the car and we'll follow the open road
Join me and together we will explore the world and all it has to offer

Let's leave it all and go and go and
Let's abandon our old lives and start anew

Are you coming with me
Will you join me on this adventure?
