Gold Lyrics

Cover art for Gold lyrics by Chet Faker

People, this is not complicated. The song is clearly about dating and confusing lust for love. Gold - idolized female Feeling love - horny, looking to fall in love Never loved her - it was all in his head Another one - on to the next Another you - same mistake It's gotta be love - convincing himself, history repeats Then the verses are basically just an expansion on the same thing. Garden verse metaphorically compares the initial first glance, lustful desire, to the garden of Eden. When Eve was made for Adam, and they were perfect. "Body that lies is built up on looking" means your lustful desires will cloud your judgement. And that whole verse is about sex without true love. And again, the final verse is about dating and lust, and never finding true love.

"Never loved her - it was all in his head"

It's "a" not "her".

Made of gold, I never loved a Another one, another you

He's saying he has never loved another like her, like he loves her.

The song is about love. Chet Faker confirmed this in an interview with Song Exploder.
