Bold as Love
Whyte Seeds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Really haven´t dared to say the words I feel
So now I run
Searching the streets
Turning away, I´m turning away
So now I run
To see who I meet
Bold as love
Never listen to what mama said to me
Think I can´t see how I went so wrong, so wrong
So now I run
Searching the streets
Turning away, I´m turning away
So now I run
To see who I meet
Any so bold, a person so bold
Bold as love
Guess one day I will be good as gold
(bold as love)
Until then I´ll keep you in my dreams
So now I run
Searching the streets
Turning away, I´m turning away
So now I run
To see who I meet
Any so bold, a person so bold
So now I run
Searching the streets
Turning away, I´m turning away
So now I run
To see who I meet
I´m turning away
The lyrics of Whyte Seeds's song Bold as Love convey a sense of emotional turmoil and struggle with inner honesty. The singer admits to not being truthful with themselves throughout the year, and hesitates to express their true feelings. They turn to running and searching the streets to escape and maybe find someone as bold as love, and to forget the words they never said. They lament not listening to their mama's advice, and acknowledge the mistakes they have made. They dream of being as good as gold, but until then, they will keep those they care about in their dreams.
The theme of the song seems to be the search for honesty and authenticity, and the struggle that comes with it. The running and turning away could represent the avoidance of facing reality, while search for someone as bold as love suggests the desire for a connection that is genuine and passionate. The admission of mistakes and acknowledging the need for change shows the willingness to confront one's flaws and grow.
Overall, the lyrics evoke a sense of vulnerability and self-reflection that may resonate with anyone who has struggled with being honest with themselves or with others.
