Gold Rush Lyrics
Gleaming, twinkling
Eyes like sinking ships on waters
So inviting, I almost jump in
But I don't like a gold rush, gold rush
I don't like anticipatin' my face in a red flush
I don't like that anyone would die to feel your touch
Everybody wants you
Everybody wonders what it would be like to love you
Walk past, quick brush
I don't like slow motion, double vision in rose blush
I don't like that falling feels like flying 'til the bone crush
Everybody wants you
But I don't like a gold rush
What must it be like to grow up that beautiful?
With your hair falling into place like dominoes
I see me padding across your wooden floors
With my Eagles t-shirt hanging from the door
At dinner parties, I call you out on your contrarian shit
And the coastal town we wandered 'round had nеver seen a love as pure as it
And thеn it fades into the gray of my day-old tea
'Cause it could never be
'Cause I don't like a gold rush, gold rush
I don't like anticipatin' my face in a red flush
I don't like that anyone would die to feel your touch
Everybody wants you
Everybody wonders what it would be like to love you
Walk past, quick brush
I don't like slow motion, double vision in rose blush
I don't like that falling feels like flying 'til the bone crush
Everybody wants you
But I don't like a gold rush
What must it be like to grow up that beautiful?
With your hair falling into place like dominoes
My mind turns your life into folklore
I can't dare to dream about you anymore
At dinner parties I won't call you out on your contrarian shit
And the coastal town we never found will never see a love as pure as it
'Cause it fades into the gray of my day-old tea
'Cause it will never be
Gleaming, twinkling
Eyes like sinking ships on waters
So inviting, I almost jump in

'gold rush' is Taylor Swift's ode to a handsome man adored by women. This is a song about a woman's obsession with this man before, at the end of the song, realizing that it could never work in the real world. 'gold rush' takes place inside a single daydream where you get lost in thought, then snap back to reality. With the lyrics, "digging for gold in my neighborhood/ …all I see is a long goodbye…/I never stopped losing you", we see what the woman wished could be, held in place by her mind. The end of the song, "Gold rush it didn't used to be this way," makes us believe that though she wishes the outcome may have been different, it is not meant to be. This song is about losing yourself for a moment in a daydream and being pulled back out as fast as it started.

What the artist means The track starts on a somber note, she's crooning in a tragic tone, sounding as if she's sinking but clearly putting up a struggle. She's singing about the bottom being like a gold rush, she's craving her lover's touch, especially in a sordid time like this. She's not sharing her lover, she wants that gold rush for herself, with his hair falling in so many places like dominos. She's crooning about her days going by, without her resisting the urge to fall in love a few more times. She's utterly in love on this record, and she's not afraid to show this, even though it's clear that everyone wants her gold rush. She's still dreaming about him, but that doesn't mean that she won't call him out if he messes up the vibe. She's sinking, yet she's not scared of leaving this gold rush of a love tale.
What the song means to me The song is a breezy affair, I'm hearing Taylor sound so alive, so in love and so focused. Love is one of the most surreal emotions, it's utterly awesome when you fall head over hills with that special someone. That's what's going on with Taylor Swift right now, and it's super cute seeing her bear her heart on wax. The track is such an easy listen, the production is spotless, and I couldn't stop smiling when I heard some corny yet cute lyrics from pop's favorite superstar. I will give this song a rating of 8/10.
