This song is the story of adolescent mishap. It's about not listening to anyone even when they are clearly correct. The nature of the bands sound and style leads me to believe that drug use and self medication (see shelter song, which is somewhat of a precursor to this song) is the root of this song. "The golden throne" is a place where you get to with an inflated ego, denial and lack of insight. It's a place where you become blinded by fantasy, it could be described as living in reality that is false which is built within your own mind. (This is why I think their name is temples) while sitting upon the throne you are completely engulfed in lies to and from yours truly. Shelter song, golden throne, keep in the dark, and the guesser are all connected the throne is referenced at least once in throughout them. They were also the 4 songs released before the full album was. Also I think some of the lyrics are currently incorrect but in some cases they are very inaudible so it's hard to be sure.
