Chet Faker – Gold Lyrics 7 years ago
People, this is not complicated.
The song is clearly about dating and confusing lust for love.
Gold - idolized female
Feeling love - horny, looking to fall in love
Never loved her - it was all in his head
Another one - on to the next
Another you - same mistake
It's gotta be love - convincing himself, history repeats
Then the verses are basically just an expansion on the same thing.
Garden verse metaphorically compares the initial first glance, lustful desire, to the garden of Eden. When Eve was made for Adam, and they were perfect.
"Body that lies is built up on looking" means your lustful desires will cloud your judgement. And that whole verse is about sex without true love.
And again, the final verse is about dating and lust, and never finding true love.
