Gold
Cherished Moments: Love Beyond Gold
Lyrics
And I love her so
Expresses deep affection towards a person
I wouldn't trade her for gold
Emphasizes the high value placed on the person, stating they wouldn't exchange them for material wealth
Walking on moonbeams
Describes a dreamlike state or feeling of euphoria
I was born with a silver spoon
Metaphorically suggests being born into privilege or wealth
Hell I'm gonna be me
Expresses determination to remain authentic and true to oneself
Gonna be free
Aspires for freedom and self-expression
Walking on moonbeams
Reiteration of the dreamlike state or euphoria
And staring out to sea
Contemplating or reflecting on one's existence
And if a door be closed
When faced with obstacles, new opportunities arise
Then a row of homes start building
Metaphorically suggests the removal of barriers or limitations
And tear your curtains down
Encouraging openness and embracing positivity (sunlight metaphor)
For sunlight is like gold
Highlighting the immense value of sunlight metaphorically as essential as gold
Hell you better be you
Encouragement to embrace one's true self
Do what you can do
Advocating for utilizing one's abilities and potential
Walking on moonbeams
Reiteration of the dreamlike state or euphoria
And staring out to sea
Contemplating or reflecting on existence, similar to line 9
'Cause if your skin was soil
Metaphorical comparison of skin to soil, hinting at one's vulnerability or susceptibility
How long do you think before they'd start digging
Contemplation of how quickly one's vulnerabilities could be exploited
And if your life was gold
Metaphorical comparison of life to gold, questioning its fragility or value
How long do you think you'd stay living
Raising the question of the sustainability or duration of a precious life
And I love her so
Reiteration of deep affection towards a person
I wouldn't trade her for gold
Emphasis on the irreplaceable value of the person
