Lyrics
I was headed to the gold rush
I embarked on a journey towards a pursuit of wealth and success.
I was looking for some riches in the sand
I searched for prosperity or valuable things in the vast expanse of sand.
Dug my hands deep into mudlands
I delved my hands deep into challenging or difficult situations.
I was looking for stones to spend
I sought valuable experiences or things to use or enjoy.
All we have is gold
An affirmation that what we possess or value most is gold, metaphorically symbolizing something precious.
I was living on the sidelines
I existed on the fringes of life, not actively participating.
waiting for live to pick me up on its way
I patiently waited for life to offer opportunities or experiences.
When I should be looking for my freedom
I should have been seeking my own freedom or independence.
Oh, it's nothing that gold can replace
Realizing that gold, a symbol of material wealth, cannot replace or fulfill certain needs or desires.
All we have is gold
Reiteration that the most significant or valuable thing we possess is gold.
All we have is gold
Emphasizing again that all we have or cherish is gold.
And I thought it would keep getting better,
Expressing an expectation that life would continue improving or becoming more favorable.
would keep getting better
Repetition of the anticipation that things would progressively improve.
And I thought it would keep getting better,
Continued hope that life's circumstances would get better over time.
would keep getting better
Reiteration of the expectation that the situation would keep improving.
And I thought it would keep getting better,
Persisting in the belief that life would become more favorable or enjoyable.
would keep getting better
Repeating the notion that there is an expectation of continuous improvement in life.
And I thought it would keep getting better,
Reiterating the hope that life would keep getting better.
would keep getting better
Continued expectation that life's conditions would improve over time.
