about

Dirt in the gold is a cinematic power ballad with a dark undertone. The lyrics are about looking for flaws in what is good, in the style of the classic saying that it is too good to be true.

lyrics

Verse 1
I cling to the shadows as if they were my nightlights
Keeping me safe and sound
All these emotional storms keep kicking my feet off the ground

Without my dear demons my mind creates new ones
Keeping them there as pets
They thrive in my darkness, as they whisper their bittersweet threats

Pre chorus
I'm uncomfortable with being comfortable
Not fine with being fine
Always looking for dark ways to darken my mind

Chorus
I'm digging for dirt in the gold
To make it less beautiful
Getting rid of the shine, enhancing the cracks
Everything golden fades into black

I'm digging for dirt in the gold
To make it less illusional
Putting out the false light, putting out the glow
Why am I digging for dirt in the gold?

Verse 2
I search for the monsters, I fall for the devil
Telling me I can't win
He's horns are a halo to me, I believe him

Without my dear demons, I still seem to find them
My own stuffed animals
They sing me to sleep at night, while they're taking control

Pre chorus
I'm uncomfortable with being comfortable
Not fine with being fine
Always looking for dark ways to darken my mind

Chorus
I'm digging for dirt in the gold
To make it less beautiful
Getting rid of the shine, enhancing the cracks
Everything golden fades into black

I'm digging for dirt in the gold
To make it less illusional
Putting out the false light, putting out the glow
Why am I digging for dirt in the gold?
