Nazi Gold
Chasing Shadows: Unearthing Dark Pleasures in Night Birds' Nazi Gold
Lyrics
Have you ever found something
Reflecting on the experience of finding something.
That could make you feel like nothing at all
Describing the emotional impact of the found item, making one feel insignificant.
Have you ever seen something so great that
Noticing something extraordinary and life-changing.
You knew you may never look back
Awareness that the discovery may alter one's perspective permanently.
I could stay this way for days
Expressing a desire to remain in the current state for an extended period.
My eyes in a perpetual glaze
Describing a dreamy, mesmerized state of mind.
I could stay this way for days
Reiterating the desire to stay in the current state.
And days and days and days and days
Emphasizing the prolonged nature of the desired state.
There's a pleasure so sweet and rare
Referring to an exceptionally sweet and rare pleasure.
No one would speak their mouth
Implies silence and secrecy surrounding the pleasure.
No one would care my souls already been sold
Indicating a lack of concern for consequences, as the soul is already committed for a valuable exchange.
For Nazi gold
Revealing the exchanged item is "Nazi gold," suggesting a controversial or morally questionable transaction.
There was a hole downstairs that led
Introducing a mysterious hole leading to another place.
To another home
Describing a connection to a different home through the hole.
I once had a dream about a place like this
Recalling a dream about a similar place.
Forgot when I woke up
Forgetting the dream upon waking up, suggesting a fleeting or elusive nature.
And now every time i go it's
Expressing a sense of repetition in revisiting the place.
Like the last time before and now every time
Highlighting the familiarity of the experience with a tone of inevitability.
I go, I go, I go, I go, I go
Repeating the act of going, possibly emphasizing compulsion or addiction.
There's a pleasure so sweet and rare
Reiterating the presence of a rare and sweet pleasure.
No one would speak their mouth
Emphasizing secrecy and silence around the pleasure once again.
No one would care my souls already been sold
Reaffirming the lack of concern for consequences due to the already committed soul.
For Nazi gold
Repeating the revelation of the soul being committed for "Nazi gold."
Kill myself for just another ounce
Expressing a willingness to sacrifice oneself for more of the valuable item.
