Gold Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Colourthestars 

Cover art for Gold lyrics by Owl City

When you look in the booklet that came with the album, you'll see that this is the only song on the album that didn't have any input by Adam, but was written only by some of the writers he worked with. So that makes me think this song is written about/for Adam. Adam said in an interview that the song is about not forgetting your roots. So I think the lyrics are what they want to tell Adam and maybe they were also showing him what they, as writers and producers, could bring to this album. That would also explain why this is the only song Adam didn't write on.

My Interpretation
