Goldmine
Unveiling Heartache: Kaylee Kitzman's Goldmine Story
Lyrics
To meet you again, in the long run I guess
To reunite with you eventually, considering the long term
Are we prodded like cattle, is it providence?
Questioning if our actions are predetermined or guided by fate
Your smoky apartment, spilling the wine
Depicting a setting in a smoky apartment where wine is spilled
You're laughing and trying, you can't get it right
Observing someone laughing and attempting but failing
I don't know what you're doing to me
Expressing confusion about the impact of someone's actions on the speaker
I'm calling collect, you're a can on a string
Metaphorically connecting with someone through a phone call
It's out of my hands, a planet away
Feeling helpless as the situation is beyond control, distant like a planet
One of my own kind
Identifying with someone similar or of the same kind
When there's a goldmine, you stay
Staying committed when there is something valuable or precious
My hand to your mouth, the tears in your eyes
Sharing a moment of intimacy with tears in the other person's eyes
Predatory Wasp, said the song makes you cry
Referring to the impact of a song ("Predatory Wasp") that evokes strong emotions
How good can a thing be until it's no longer good?
Questioning the longevity of the goodness in something
The shores of Glensheen, a lost cause, the hardwood
Referencing specific locations and acknowledging a lost cause
Well intentioned child, you've done all that you could
Recognizing the efforts of a well-intentioned individual
When there's a grudge against goodness, can't love like I should
Facing challenges in expressing love when there's resistance against goodness
A ring I gave up, your old lover's prose
Letting go of a symbolic ring and encountering past writings of a former lover
It goes without saying, and a kiss on the nose
Stating something obvious, accompanied by a gesture of affection
I've weighed it all out and I am taking you home
Decision to take the person home after careful consideration
I'm saying it now, when there's a goldmine, you know
Reiterating the importance of staying committed when there's something valuable
It's the worst of me and all my pride
Acknowledging flaws and pride as the worst aspects
If I spit you out, goldmine, I tried
Expressing efforts to retain something valuable, even if challenging
I remember snow, white sand, that day
Recalling a memorable day with snow and white sand
I can't turn you down, goldmine, I stay
Choosing to remain with the valuable entity, despite difficulties
It's the worst of me and all my pride
Repeating acknowledgment of personal flaws and pride
If I spit you out, goldmine, I tried
Reiterating efforts to retain something valuable, even if challenging
I remember snow, white sand, that day
Recalling a memorable day with snow and white sand (repeated)
I can't turn you down, goldmine, I stay
Choosing to remain with the valuable entity, despite difficulties (repeated)
My hand to your mouth, the tears in your eyes
Revisiting a moment of intimacy with tears in the other person's eyes
Predatory Wasp, said the song makes you cry
Referring again to the emotional impact of a song ("Predatory Wasp")
How good can a thing be until it's no longer good?
Reiterating the question about the longevity of goodness in something
The shores of Glensheen, a lost cause, the hardwood
Referring again to specific locations and acknowledging a lost cause
Well intentioned child, you've done all that you could
Recognizing the efforts of a well-intentioned individual (repeated)
When there's a grudge against goodness, can't love like I should
Reiterating the challenge of expressing love in the face of resistance to goodness
A ring I gave up, your old lover's prose
Releasing a symbolic ring and encountering past writings of a former lover (repeated)
It goes without saying, and a kiss on the nose
Stating something obvious, accompanied by a gesture of affection (repeated)
I've weighed it all out and I am taking you home
Making a definitive decision to take the person home after careful consideration (repeated)
I'm saying it now, when there's a goldmine, you know
Reiterating the importance of staying committed when there's something valuable (repeated)
