Golden Journeys: A Homemade Love Story by Sudan Archives
Lyrics
I hopped in the shower, I dreamed of a sauna (it all goes)
I took a shower and envisioned a sauna experience, emphasizing a refreshing change.
In the Havana, you rubbed on my body (my afro)
In Havana, you applied lotion on my body, a reference to intimacy and care.
Forgot all my trauma, I washed it behind us ('cause I know)
Overcoming past troubles, leaving them behind as I move forward with optimism.
We got this, we know we want this
We are confident and aware of our desires and goals in the relationship.
The peak of the morning, the birds weren't awake and the sun sang
Describing a serene morning with nature awakening and the sun singing.
They asked for our secret to our love, I told them it's homemade
Responding to inquiries about the secret of our love with the notion that it's genuine and crafted personally.
It's homemade, it's homemade
Emphasizing the authenticity and uniqueness of our love as homemade.
It's homemade
Reiterating the homemade nature of our love.
Back to the streets that's dipped in gold
Returning to familiar and comfortable places represented as streets dipped in gold.
And right when it feels like home, we go
Once the current situation feels like home, there is a tendency to move away again.
Back to the roads we know
Going back to known paths despite the challenges and uncertainties.
Our words are startin' to sink, no float
Communication struggles, indicated by words sinking instead of floating.
So, back to the streets that's dipped in gold
Returning to the familiar and cherished streets dipped in gold.
You know I would never let go, you know
Expressing a commitment to not letting go despite challenges.
Back to the streets that's dipped in gold
Repeating the idea of returning to streets dipped in gold.
Back to the streets that's dipped in gold
Emphasizing the allure and significance of the streets dipped in gold.
When I first met you, I thought that I knew you (from back home)
Initial impressions of familiarity upon meeting, feeling a connection from the past.
You greeted me with a very warm welcome (so alone)
Warm welcome received, highlighting the comfort and acceptance in the relationship.
The feeling I felt for years all up in this big town
Reflecting on the emotions felt for years in a big town, suggesting a sense of belonging.
But not now, but not now
Contrasting the past feeling with the current situation, implying a positive change.
I know we got problems, forget what they taught us (that's bullshit)
Acknowledging relationship problems and dismissing societal expectations.
Your strong sense of justice is what they're afraid of (they lose it)
Recognizing a partner's strong sense of justice, seen as a threat by others.
And one day, they'll write a big novel about us (that's real shit)
Anticipating a future where their unique story will be celebrated through a novel.
But right now, but right now
Despite challenges, appreciating the current moment in the relationship.
Back to the streets that's dipped in gold
Reiterating the theme of returning to familiar streets dipped in gold.
Back to the street that's
Continuation of the idea of going back to the streets with significance.
Back to the streets that's dipped in gold
Emphasizing the allure and significance of the streets dipped in gold.
Back to the street that's
Repeating the notion of returning to a meaningful street in the relationship.
