Gold Lyrics

Thank you for coming home I'm sorry that the chairs are all worn I left them here I could have sworn These are my salad days Slowly being eaten away Just another play for today Oh but I'm proud of you, but I'm proud of you Nothing left to make me feel small Luck has left me standing so tall Gold Always believe in your soul You've got the power to know You're indestructible Always believe in, cause you are Gold Glad that you're bound to return There's something I could have learned You're indestructible, always believing After the rush has gone I hope you find a little more time Remember we were partners in crime It's only two years ago The man with the suit and the face You knew that he was there on the case Now he's in love with you, he's in love with you My love is like a high prison wall But you could leave me standing so tall Gold Always believe in your soul You've got the power to know You're indestructible Always believe in, cause you are Gold I'm glad that you're bound to return Something I could have learned You're indestructible, always believing My love is like a high prison wall But you could leave me standing so tall Gold Always believe in your soul You've got the power to know You're indestructible Always believe in, cause you are Gold I'm glad that you're bound to return Something I could have learned You're indestructible, always believing

Meaning of Gold

“Gold” by Spandau Ballet is a poignant reflection on resilience and enduring love amidst regret and disillusionment. The lyrics paint a picture of looking back at youthful exuberance – “salad days” now faded – while acknowledging past mistakes, symbolized by the worn chairs and a shadowy figure who has moved on. Despite feeling diminished and vulnerable (“nothing left to make me feel small”), the narrator finds strength in believing in their own inherent worth and the other person’s potential, repeatedly urging them to “always believe in your soul.” The recurring motif of "gold" represents this inner value, an indestructible spirit that can withstand hardship. Ultimately, the song conveys a message of hope and unwavering faith, suggesting that even after loss and disappointment, one can remain strong and tall, fueled by self-belief and the promise of a future return – a testament to enduring love and personal fortitude.
