Gold in the Air of Summer
Golden Moments by the Sea: Kings of Convenience's Summer Tale
Lyrics
Without giving anything away
Without revealing too much information
I can say it's by the sea
It's located by the sea
It's a house that used to be
Refers to a house that once belonged to someone
The home of a friend of mine
It used to be the residence of a friend
Without giving anything away
Repetition of line 1, emphasizing discretion
You'll find ships inside of bottles
Inside, there are ships enclosed in bottles
And the garden's overgrown
The garden is untended and overgrown
The house is white but the paint is coming off
Although the house is white, the paint is peeling off
I didn't know if you wanted to
Uncertain if the person wanted to accompany
When I came to pick you up
Upon arrival to pick up, there was no hesitation
You didn't even hesitate
The person willingly agreed to join
And now you and me are on our way
Now, both individuals are on a journey together
I think I've brought everything we need
The speaker believes they've packed everything needed
Don't look back, don't think of the
Advice not to dwell on the past or missed opportunities
Other places you should have been
Avoid thinking about other places one should have been
It's a good thing that you came along with me
Expresses gratitude for the person's presence
Gold in the air of summer
Evokes a sense of beauty and richness associated with summer
You'll shine like gold in the air of summer
Repetition of the idea that the person will shine like gold in summer
You'll shine like gold in the air of summer
Reiteration of the person's radiance in the summer atmosphere
You'll shine like gold in the air of summer
Further emphasis on the person's shining quality in summer
