The Gold Lyrics

Couldn't really love you anymore
You've become my ceiling
I don't think I love you anymore
That gold mine changed you
You don't have to hold me anymore
Our cave's collapsing
I don't wanna be me anymore
My old man told me

"You don't open your eyes for a while
You just breathe that moment down"
Forty miles out of East Illinois
For my old man's heart attack

I believed you were crazy
You believed you love me

I don't wanna bark here anymore
Black Hills, the colly
Wasn't really dangerous for us
We just catch you coughing
What the hell are we gonna do?
Black mile to the surface
I don't wanna be here anymore
It all tastes like poison

You can't open your eyes for a while
You just breathe that moment down
Forty hours out of Homestake
And I'm trying to translate you again

I believed you were crazy
You believed you love me
You and me, we're a day drink
So lose your faith in me

You can't open your eyes for a while
You just breathe that moment down
You can't open your eyes for a while
You just breathe

I believed you were crazy
You believed you love me
You and me, we're a day drink
So lose your faith in me
Lose your faith in me
Oh, lose your faith in me

What is the Meaning of The Gold?

This poignant track delves into the complexities of a relationship that is gradually falling apart. The lyrics paint a picture of love lost, where one person has changed so much that they've become unrecognizable to their partner. The references to a 'gold mine' and 'cave collapsing' could symbolize material wealth or success that has ultimately led to their emotional disconnect. The repeated line "You just breathe that moment down" suggests an attempt to cope with the pain, almost like swallowing a bitter pill. The song's conclusion hints at the inevitable end, urging the other person to let go of their faith in a relationship that no longer exists as it once did.
