| The Black Keys – Gold on the Ceiling Lyrics | 13 years ago |

Personally, I believe this song to be about addiction. Whether it be drug or sex addiction, I am not sure. Not that it matters, the motivators associated with both are the same since, at the heart of it all, addiction is addiction. "Down in the waves She screams again Roar at the door My mind can't take much more" -this most likely describes the struggle to fight the addiction. Down in his belly, his being, the bitch of a whore(the addiction) screams again for more, and eventually, he gives in. Or it is specifically another female fan out in the crowd who is calling to him, again. ~Different night, different girl. "I could never drown" -the thought process of all addicts upon getting their fix. Saying I'll be fine. I can quit another day. I am not a lost cause. "They wanna get my They wanna get my Gold on the ceiling I ain't blind It's just a matter of time Before you steal it It's alright Ain't no God in my eye" -This verse, I think, describes the loss of self and the loss of control addicts experience. The gold on the ceiling is everything and anything he holds dear ie, his sense of "self", his sense of control and how he can't judge himself or anyone else too harshly, since after-all he is just a man, and he is no God. Or it's about having sex with a women fan and how neither of them can be judged her for what they do. "Clouds cover love Barbed wire snarl Strung up, strung out I just can't go without" -This verse seems to hint that the song may be about sex addiction specifically. The lyrics "clouds cover love, barbed wire snarl" imply that he is taking part in a love act that he simultaneously wants and doesn't want, but repeatedly gets caught up in, again exhibiting a loss of control and rationale. |

In my opinion, this song is simply about floating down a river(life), freely. The first verse describes "letting go" of our oars that had previously been used to steer the boat. It's about being comfortable with where the river is going to take us and appreciating what the "views" everything and anything the river of life gives us. The second verse, I think, describes the emotional journey associated with "letting go" and leaving the shore and these perceptions of complete control, which in many ways and to many of us, has grown to the point of being our lover. The final verse, I think, then speaks on this process of growth and how through working on ourselves, then allows us to communicate more efficiently with others, in the hopes of trading ideas and our lessons learned along the way through our journey, since sharing of our experiences and ideas is, in the end, what makes the journey so worthwhile and adds so much to it. Basically, this is Brandon sharing who he is. His story, his philosophy. |
