Old Gold Teeth
Coastline Reflections: Unveiling the Symbolism of Old Gold Teeth
Lyrics
It’s the coastline
Refers to the coastal area
Old gold teeth
Symbolizes wealth or status ("old gold teeth")
They’re tryna cut lines
Suggests the desire to indulge in certain experiences or substances
And ride the forty seas
Metaphor for navigating through life's challenges
I missed your phone call
Missed a connection or communication
But do you miss me?
Questioning if the feeling of being missed is mutual
They all seem younger now
Others around seem younger, possibly indicating changes or growth
But my gears must be shifting
Sense of personal change or transition
Mannequin models out at night
Reference to superficiality, artificiality, or societal standards of beauty
I don’t think that I could win that fight
Doubt about winning a particular struggle or competition
I signed in blood, for the factory
Commitment or dedication to something significant
When you hurt you can never be free
Feeling trapped or unable to break free from pain or past experiences
The knife was good for the company
Metaphorically, something harmful being beneficial for a larger entity or system
We float on by, drain our blood in the sea yeah
Passing through life while losing vitality or energy
What was that you said to me?
Expression of surprise or disbelief at something said
What the fuck did you say to me?
-It’s the coastline
Repetition reinforces the themes of coastlines, missed connections, and personal change
Old gold teeth
-They’re tryna cut lines
-And ride the forty seas
-I missed your phone call
-But do you miss me?
-They all seem younger now
-But my gears must be shifting
-It’s the coastline
-Old gold teeth
-They’re tryna cut lines
-And ride the forty seas
-I missed your phone call
-But do you miss me?
-They all seem younger now
-But my gears must be shifting
-These ghosts In my veins
Internal struggles or haunting memories causing pain and toxicity
Radio transmission has failed
-These ghosts in my veins
-Spoon full of poison
-Go to hell
-It’s the coastline
Reiteration of previous themes, emphasizing a sense of longing, missed opportunities, and personal transformation
Old gold teeth
-They’re tryna cut lines
-And ride the forty seas
-I missed your phone call
-But do you miss me?
-They all seem younger now
-But my gears must be shifting
-It’s the coastline
-Old gold teeth
-They’re tryna cut lines
-And ride the forty seas
-I missed your phone call
-But do you miss me?
-They all seem younger now
-But my gears must be shifting
