| Chet Faker – Gold Lyrics | 10 years ago |

My two cents: He's singing about the image of girl that he's created in his mind. "Made of gold" an idealised, valuable and over-the-top image of who she is, but he "never loved her", not the real her, he didn't even know the real her. "Another one" - He's done this before, he's met someone and built them into gold in his mind more times than he can remember. "Another you" could be a Buddhist reference to us all being manifestations of the same thing - consciousness, and we are ultimately all the same thing just experiencing life through different filters and memories. When you meet someone new, as I just have, there is a sense that you are entering the void when you get intimate with them, stepping into the blackness that comes when all thought and clutter is put aside and you simply exist in a state of being with them. Your Soul is presented "bare", and he's aware that he's digging a hole for his soul everytime he clings on to all the golden images and leaves the real her behind. |
