Golden Lyrics

Verse: I was a ghost, I was alone Eoduwojin apgilsoge (Ah) – It’s like I didn't know how to believe. Given the throne, I didn't know how to believe (Hah) I was the queen that I'm meant to be (Ah) I lived two lives, tried to play both sides But I couldn't find my own place (Oh, oh) Called a problem child 'cause I got too wild But now that's how I'm getting paid, kkeuteopsi on stage Pre-Chorus: I'm done hidin', now I'm shinin' Like I'm born to be We dreamin' hard, we came so far Now I believe Chorus: We're goin' up, up, up It’s our moment You know together we're glowing Gonna be, gonna be golden Oh, up, up, up With our voices Yongwonhi kkaejil su eomneun – Let it shine like this Gonna be, gonna be golden Post-Chorus: Oh, I'm done hidin', now I'm shinin' Like I'm born to be Oh, our time, no fears, no lies That’s who we’re born to be Bridge: Waited so long to break these walls down To wake up and feel like me Put these patterns all in the past now And finally live like the girl they all see No more hiding, I'll be shining Like I'm born to be 'Cause we are hunters, voices strong And I know I believe Chorus: We're goin' up, up, up It’s our moment You know together we're glowing Gonna be, gonna be golden Oh, up, up, up With our voices Yongwonhi kkaejil su eomneun – Let it shine like this Gonna be, gonna be golden Post-Chorus: Oh, I'm done hidin', now I'm shinin' Like I'm born to be Oh, our time, no fears, no lies That’s who we’re born to be Outro: You know we're gonna be, gonna be golden (Oh) We're gonna be, gonna be (Oh) Born to be, born to be glowin' (Oh) Balkge bitnaneun urin – It is our time. You know that it's our time, no fears, no lies (Oh, oh) That’s who we’re born to be

This song is an anthem of self-discovery and empowerment. 'Golden' speaks about shedding a restrictive past – represented by being a "ghost" and living multiple lives – in order to embrace one's true potential and shine brightly. The lyrics emphasize breaking free from societal expectations ("problem child") and claiming one’s power. ‘Going up, up, up’ signifies rising above challenges and achieving success together. It explores themes of self-acceptance, confidence, resilience, and the importance of realizing one's inherent value and talent ('born to be golden'). The repeated phrase 'Let it shine like this' reinforces the message of embracing authenticity and letting your true nature radiate outwards. It’s a celebratory track about overcoming obstacles and stepping into a luminous future.
