| City and Colour – The Golden State Lyrics | 12 years ago |

I think this song is fairly straight forward. As a musician/artist/performer in Canada it's sort of assumed that you have to go to California if you want to achieve your dreams. If you stay in Canada it's a lot harder to start your career. I think that's true for most people who aren't American. I also think Dallas is expressing his love for the Canadian wilderness specifically with the line: "I need to see the leaves change and the snowflakes falling I need to hear the call, the wind whistling through the winter pines" |

Does anyone else wonder if this has anything to do with his relationship with Laura Marling? "So I watched the world tear us apart A stoic mind and a bleeding heart You never seen my bleeding heart" I feel like this could have some kind of reference to their diverging musical careers, and how when their relationship first began they were more dependent on each other, but the larger their careers got, the less they were a couple. "And your lights always shining on" And this feels like a reference to Laura's song, Shine, in which she expresses the need to shine, to feel it, and she can't do that sometimes with the heaviness of a relationship. Just my thoughts. |

I think this song is about a man who has been in a relationship since he was young. In the beginning it was kind, but after a time it got too deep, and perhaps dark. "I can't see other in my life" makes it seem like the relationship was a lot to handle. It seems like he is breaking a way from a relationship, and he knows he is going to break her heart, "Should you shake my ash to the wind, Lord forget all of my sins Well let me die where I lie 'Neath the curse of my lover's eyes" sort of sounds like he knows he is going to commit sin, but he has to do it to feel again. "Your strength just makes me feel less strong" is probably my favourite line in the song, because in the past I've had men say that to me. Sort of makes me think. That's sort of my take on things. |
