From Gold to Rust
Journey from Brilliance to Desolation: Future Sunsets' Reflection
Lyrics
I rarely write a sad, sad song
The songwriter rarely composes sad songs.
Because I want to seem like I'm always strong
Expressing a desire to appear strong, avoiding the portrayal of vulnerability.
I try to be a light in the dark
Attempts to be a source of positivity in challenging times.
But in this moment I can't find my spark
Currently experiencing a lack of inspiration or motivation.
I've gone from gold to rust
Metaphorically describing a decline or deterioration from a valuable state (gold) to a less desirable one (rust).
Maybe I need to love in another way
Contemplating the need for a different approach to love, possibly due to a recent breakup.
'Cause now another single girl lives in LA
Noting the presence of another single woman in Los Angeles, potentially indicating a change in the songwriter's relationship status.
Well I could blame our ending on a million little things
Recognizing various factors that could contribute to the end of a relationship.
But honestly the finger points at me
Taking responsibility for the relationship's demise rather than blaming external factors.
I've gone from Gold To Rust
Reiterating the theme of transitioning from a positive state to a negative one.
So right now I'm between two places; What's easy and what's right
Being in a state of indecision between what is easy and what is morally right.
And maybe I'm just scared of changing and starting a new life
Expressing fear of change and the challenges associated with starting a new phase of life.
And even though my world keeps spinning; can't see it from inside
Despite life's continuous motion, the songwriter feels disconnected and unable to perceive it positively.
I don't have to be alright, no I don't have to be alright
Acknowledging that it's okay not to be emotionally okay in the current situation.
I've gone from Gold To Rust
Repeating the theme of transitioning from a positive state to a negative one.
First I lost my girl, then I lost my spine
Listing personal losses, including both a romantic relationship and a sense of personal strength.
When it rains it pours and now I can't stay dry
Using the metaphor of rain to describe a cascade of challenges and difficulties.
I'm reaching for a silver lining while my hands are tied behind me
Seeking a positive aspect (silver lining) while feeling constrained or helpless.
But it keeps coming down; it keeps coming down
Despite efforts, challenges persist and intensify.
I've gone from Gold To Rust
Reiterating the theme of transitioning from a positive state to a negative one, emphasizing the deterioration.
