Golden

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It goes and it's golden
Like sands of time
I hope and I hope you'll still be fine
I know that it's bright, look through the light and see
It's meant to be
I know that it's bright, look through the light and see
It's meant to be
Every single jigsaw piece
Seems to be incomplete

The choices we make change the path that we take, but I know
That somewhere out there there's a path that we chose
There's a life that we share, there's a love and it grows

It goes and it's golden
Like sands of time
I hope and I hope
You'll still be fine
I know that it's bright
Look through the light and see, it's meant to be

Every single jigsaw piece

The choices we make change the path that we take, but I know
That somewhere out there there's a path that we chose
There's a life that we share, there's a love and it grows

'Cause it grows and it grows
And I hope that you know
'Cause it grows and it grows
I know that it's bright, look through the light and see

The choices we make change the path that we take
But I know




That somewhere out there there's a path that we chose
There's a life that we share, there's a love and it grows

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Zayn’s song “Golden” are imbued with powerful symbolism and a message of hope. The opening lines, “It goes and it's golden, like sands of time” suggest that even though time is fleeting, some things remain precious and endure. The song is an ode to the pursuit of happiness, which is fraught with uncertainty and challenges.


The reference to a jigsaw puzzle is another interesting metaphor. “Every single jigsaw piece seems to be incomplete” suggests that we are all pieces in the larger picture of existence, and we need to find our place to feel complete. The choices we make determine the path we take, but there is still hope for finding the path that we chose.


The repetition of the phrase “I know that it’s bright, look through the light and see, it’s meant to be” serves as a reminder that despite the obstacles and uncertainty, we need to keep hope alive and believe that things will work out in the end.


Overall, “Golden” is a hopeful and inspiring song that encourages listeners to keep pushing through the challenges of life and never lose sight of the brighter future that lies ahead.

Yes. This song says the truth.
The choices we make changes the pattern of life we take. And he and his real love do made different choices. Or he boldly took a path himself which made the other to follow another but still longing for each other. Now there is a new love he found and living with her and their baby.. he says he is happy..

But isn't he worried of his past love or the love he hold close to his heart, (where nobody listens to his heartbeat and heart break..) coz he did said -
" I hope and I hope
You still be fine "
Like he really wish even though not together now in the spotlight, he is wishing his real other half is doing alright out there... that's care and love reflecting there. Like he is loving a dual life, one where he stays with Gigi and the baby girl before the media and world. Another being a world deep inside his heart and mind, he is still living in the memories and longingness to reach out to his one and only, and nobody is listening or seeing this part him.

He was and is in love with only one person. Now that they chose different paths doesn't mean they won't be finding ways to each other. For their spiritual connection, there is no time. And they know that. Zayn Malik knows that. Harry Styles know that. And that's all that matters. 💚💛

Zayn Malik is so underrated. he has such a wonder voice. he goes from chest voice to head voice to false setto so smoothly. his beleted notes are awsome. his controll of his notes is of the chain. Zayn is a really really fantastic singer

@FindMeInsanity

It actually hurts that his 2nd album went completely unnoticed by the general public. It's a gem

@cyrusz_

Pradipta Das ikr

@cyrusz_

Pradipta Das it’s. Size he doesn’t promote it well. If he promoted it good then his albums would be a top hit.

@diahminarni9828

He is a type of quiete person.... as he didn’t make a noise thru ads on his album... practically his management..

@sittiayessahansal1350

he's not too underrated or should I say not well known or whatever. He still got 1.2B in his Dusk till Dawn MV
