Golden Boy
Golden Reflections: A Melodic Tale of Love, Loss, and Redemption
Lyrics
As I polish your gold dress
Expressing care and attention as the speaker polishes a gold dress.
I will sing about your goodness
Commitment to sing about the goodness of the subject.
To everyone who would listen
Intention to share the positive qualities with others.
I might not be so convincing
Recognition of potential difficulty in convincing others.
So what your pride tears I will mend
Willingness to mend the pride-related tears.
Think of the life that could've been
Contemplation of missed life opportunities.
But when you flash across my eyes
Reflection on the impact when the subject appears.
I end up lightening blind mesmerized
Feeling captivated and blinded by the subject's presence.
Because you won't believe what you could do
Encouragement for the subject to believe in their potential.
Like it was promised before you
Reference to a promise made to the subject.
Great love what you've cost me
Acknowledgment of the sacrifices made for a great love.
How little you can see
Recognition of the limited understanding of the subject.
Oh prideful can you save me
Plea for help from the prideful nature.
Can't you do even anything
Expressing frustration at the perceived inability to do anything.
Great love, what you've cost me
Reiteration of the cost of a great love.
How little you can see
Emphasis on the subject's limited perspective.
Oh gold boy, wait for glory
Addressing the subject as a "gold boy" and anticipation of glory.
Maybe I'll bring glory
Potential commitment to bring glory to the subject.
Let me fix it
Indication of a desire to fix something.
The destruction that you brought
Recognition of destruction caused by the subject.
Look at the battles you could've fought
Observation of missed opportunities in battles.
Let me tell you what might've been
Offering insights into what could have been.
We could've had a much brighter end
Expressing the potential for a brighter outcome.
So in your robes I climb the walls
Metaphorical climbing of walls in the subject's robes.
Crazy with the promise of it all
Feeling driven by the promise of a great love.
Just as shadow falls across my eyes
Reference to a shadow falling and its impact.
Crushed by the weight of you paralyzed
Feeling overwhelmed and paralyzed by the subject's weight.
Because you won't believe what you could do
Encouragement for the subject to believe in their potential.
Like it was promised before you
Reference to a promise made to the subject.
So what you won't do I will do for you
Commitment to do what the subject won't.
Cause you're my golden man
Declaration that the subject is the speaker's golden man.
You you're my golden man
Reiteration of the subject being the speaker's golden man.
Great love what you've cost me
Acknowledgment of the sacrifices made for a great love.
How little you can see
Recognition of the limited understanding of the subject.
Oh prideful can you save me
Plea for help from the prideful nature.
Can't you do even anything
Expressing frustration at the perceived inability to do anything.
Great love, what you've cost me
Reiteration of the cost of a great love.
How little you can see
Emphasis on the subject's limited perspective.
Oh gold boy, wait for glory
Addressing the subject as a "gold boy" and anticipation of glory.
Maybe I'll bring glory
Potential commitment to bring glory to the subject.
Let me fix it
Expression of a desire to fix something.
