Everyone Is Golden Lyrics

diamonds shine like stars
under the ground
little rivers run in rings
around the town
everyone's a soldier
just marching towards the ocean

so we packed up all we had
and moved in '93
everyone is golden
everyone is golden
nobody will love them
nobody will love them
everyone is golden now
everyone is golden
everyone is golden now
everyone is golden

and we took a train
into the town
and stuck another needle in the ground
and if we never made another sound
then we know

so we packed up all we had
and moved in '93
everyone is golden
everyone is golden
nobody will love them
nobody will love them
everyone is golden now
everyone is golden
everyone is golden now
everyone is golden

and i lift you up
gathered around the school
to hear just what they found
they told us they had tried
still the little boy had died
we gathered around to hear
just what they'd done
yeah, they shined
like stars under the ground
and everyone's a soldier
just marching towards the ocean

so we packed up all we had
and moved in '93
everyone is golden
everyone is golden
nobody will love them
nobody will love them
everyone is golden now
everyone is golden
everyone is golden now
everyone is golden
nobody will love you
nobody will love you
nobody will love you

yeah but what does it MEAN???

well, i apologize in advance for my bad english, i have time trying to figure out the meaning of this song, mainly because i love the title, so, here's my interpretation about some specific parts of the song, but mainly i think the song is about intentions:

'diamonds shine like stars under the ground' good intentions shine but can't be seen, so not everybody understands them or take them or their results the right way.

'everyone is golden and nobody will love them' everyone is somehow worthy/good/golden but as long as our actions don't result as the meaning they have to us, no one will see the intention behind.

'We gathered around the school To hear just what they found, But they told us they had tried, Still the little boy had died.' something someone tries but fails, even when they had the good intention of doing it.

'We gathered around to hear just what they'd done, Yeah, they shine like stars under the ground' people talking about the awful results of our actions, even when our intentions were good and buried deep inside us and no one can see them,

'And everyone's a soldier just marching towards the ocean. Then we know we've packed up all we had to move from '93.' and you have to move on/away from all that happens.

and that's it. (:
