Golden Age
Embracing Change: Unveiling the Soulful Journey in Norma MacDonald's 'Golden Age'
Lyrics
Free as a sparrow, poor as a thief
Expressing freedom like a sparrow but facing financial struggles like a thief.
I great the day with a sigh of relief
Starting the day with a sense of relief, possibly from overcoming challenges.
Oh love, oh love you've set the stage
Love has set the stage for something significant or transformative.
Don't let me down with this golden age
Expressing a hope that love won't disappoint during this perceived "golden age."
Feet in the harbor, hands in the air
Feeling grounded ("feet in the harbor") but reaching out or aspiring ("hands in the air").
Thought that I could see the future I swear
Believing in the ability to foresee the future.
Oh love, oh love don't turn the page
Asking love not to move forward or change the current positive situation.
Don't turn your back on this golden age
Emphasizing the desire for love to stay during this perceived "golden age."
Come back, oh come back, don't fall on me now
Pleading for someone or something to return and not disappoint at a critical moment.
A thousand white horses brought us here somehow
Symbolic imagery of a significant journey with numerous challenges ("thousand white horses").
Come back, oh come back, don't go away
Repeating the plea for someone or something not to go away.
We knew we'd both end up back here someday
Acknowledging a shared understanding that they would reunite at some point.
Moon on the water had something to say
Referencing the moon as a symbolic communicator of something important.
And I'm fighting this feeling to throw it away
Struggling against a feeling that might lead to discarding something valuable.
Oh love, oh love it's hard to change
Expressing the difficulty of changing in the context of love.
We're losing our grip on this golden age
Indicating a sense of losing control or stability in the perceived "golden age."
Oh love, oh love it's hard to change
Reiterating the challenge of changing within the context of love and its impact.
We're losing our grip on this golden age
Stating the perception that they are losing their grasp on the positive phase referred to as the "golden age."
