'Golden Hour’ encapsulates the nervous joy that comes with change and seeking the strength and bravery to take a different path.
‘Golden Hour’ - the time in which an amber glow emerges from the sun rising or setting - alludes to the developments, growth and transitions of life. These transformations can be met with positivity for a new beginning or a fear of stepping out into the unknown.
lyrics
Verse 1:
Old coffee rings,
And a light orange glow,
Dark foggy clouds,
Casting shadows on the floor
Oh tiny world,
Soul of steel, your iron core
Cling to the edge
Honey gold held in these threads
Pre Chorus:
My cup overflowed,
Water, it ran empty,
Grief for the light at rest
Relief for the pain in my chest
Chorus:
Golden hour,
So take us forward,
Golden hour
Verse 2:
My body shakes,
Let the tremors burn inside
The depths changing shape
Illuminated on the tide
It's not enough
To stand by oceans still
But fear is mine,
The fear is mine to kill
Pre Chorus:
My cup overflowed,
Water, it ran empty
Grief for the light at rest
Relief for the pain in my chest
Chorus:
Golden hour,
So take us forward,
Golden hour
Bridge:
Take haste in serenity
But I'll hold onto the patience so tenderly
Sunlight rains on the other side
And I'll wait, I'll wait...
Chorus:
Golden hour,
Golden hour,
So take us forward,
Golden hour
