Glitter and Gold
Glitter and Gold: Embracing Life's Chaos with Rebel Rousers
Lyrics
So you saw me in a stupor,
Reflecting on being seen in a state of confusion or intoxication.
In my lowest possible state.
Expressing the lowest point or condition.
What did you expect?
Raising a question about the observer's expectations.
A Sunday morning saint?
Suggesting a contrast with a saintly image on a Sunday morning.
An optimistic troubadour,
Describing oneself as a positive singer in a negative environment.
From this pessimistic sleaze?
Acknowledging a shift for the worse and a decision not to return.
Sure I change for the worse,
Embracing negative change and rejecting a return to the past.
And baby I'm never coming back.
Reiterating a commitment to permanent change.
Just for you, I'm telling you,
Repeatedly emphasizing the decision not to return.
Just for you, I'm telling you,
-Just for you, I'm telling you,
-No, I'm never coming back!
-Don't worry, don't say a thing, I'm fine like glitter and gold.
Expressing a carefree attitude, likening oneself to glitter and gold.
Don't ask cause you've been told, I'm fine like glitter and gold.
-Don't ask, don't worry, don't say a thing. c'mon!
-Do you enjoy the mess I'm in?
Asking if the observer finds enjoyment in the singer's chaotic situation.
The bill collectors are calling.
Describing financial struggles and a connection to the father's experience.
But so is the liquor store, and it's only half past 3.
-For the first time I understand my old man.
-There's no slippin' when your all tied up.
-Ain't so bad down here, when you never been up there,
Expressing contentment in the current situation, rejecting inquiries.
Ain't so bad down here, when I've never been up there.
-Don't worry, don't say a thing, I'm fine like glitter and gold. Whoo!
-Don't ask 'cause you've been told, I'm fine like glitter and gold.
-Don't ask, don't worry, don't say a thing.
Empty line (no lyrical content).
Rebel rousers, the life long rockers and the dead end kids.
Celebrating a shared experience with rebel rousers and acknowledging fine status.
Rebel rousers, the life long rockers and the dead end kids.
-Rebel rousers, the life long rockers and the dead end kids.
-Rebel rousers, the life long rockers and the dead end kids.
-We're all fine just like glitter and gold.
-We're all fine just like glitter and gold.
-We're all fine just like glitter and gold.
-We're all fine just like glitter and gold.
Final affirmation of being fine like glitter and gold.
