Gold Dust Lyrics

I ain't a ghost man,
You can see my feet walking on.
And I ain't dead yet,
I am singing songs so sing along.

And you can let em' know I took what I was looking for.
And you can let em' know I took it cause' they couldn't, no.

I ain't a bad man,
You could say that I am still my mother's son.
And I ain't seeing red.
I am seeing everything I never was.

And you can let em' know I took what I was looking for.
And you can let em' know I took it cause' they couldn't, no.
So where do we go from here?

I played the wrong hand on the other hand I played it right,
And I'm taking up a throne that was already ready ready already mine.

And you can let em' know I took what I was looking for.
And you can let em' know I took it cause' they couldn't, no.
So where do we go from here?

You walked away.
I walked away.
And now that I'm gone,
Is it sinking in?
And now that I'm home,
Is it sinking in alone?
So where do we go from here?

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

"This song was written at a very angry time. I'm not ashamed to say I wrote this in regards to leaving my old band, Squid The Whale. I wasn't sure what the future held, but I was bitter for all the wrong reasons. A lot was happening. I was hurt, but also knew I played my part in how I felt. Since then, I've reconciled and still consider them friends. I also got to put my Patrick Stump vibes on this song, so that was rad." - Bradley
