| | Gold Mine Gutted Lyrics Artist(Band):Bright Eyes
And a blinking midnight clock Speakers on a TV stand Just a turntable to watch Only smoke came out our mouths On all those hooded sweatshirt walks We were a stroke of luck We were a gold mine, they gutted us And from the sidelines you'd see me run Until I'm out of breath Living the good life, I left for dead In the sorrowful Midwest Well I did my best... To keep my head It was grass stained jeans and incompletes And a girl from class to touch But you think about yourself too much And you ruin who you love Well all these claims at consciousness My stray dog freedom Let's have a nice clean cut Like a bag we buy and divy up And from the sidelines I see you run Until you're out of breath And all those white lines that sped us up We hurried to our death Well I lagged behind... So you got ahead If you find some error in Gold Mine Gutted Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You. Thanks to monopolymoney@hotmail.com for submitting the lyrics. Review about Gold Mine Gutted mmmm | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/2/09 or you coulcd think about "lagged behind so you got ahead" as him being real into the drugs and she was moving on with her life so she got away ( in a positive way)... but i dont know ...he's a genuis cause the double meanings he uses in his songs cause your own experiences to create how you interpret them :3 | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/8/09 I love how the lyrics just fit the emotion of the music. Conor is a lyrical genious that's for sure. I've been listening to him now for over a year straight, and basically haven't listened to anything else. Everything else just doesn't seem good to me anymore since I've heard his music. Odd :p Hehe. come on | Reviewer: j | 7/22/09 You can't let how the song makes you feel influence what you think the lyrics mean. It is about a couple that spend a lot of time doing drugs and that's really all the relationship had. "Only smoke came out our mouths on all those hooded sweatshirt walks". What started with whiskey and pot but it got sped up by all those white lines (coke). One person in the relationship wasn't interested in speeding up so he/she lagged behined (they seperated, the other person died or both). If you don't listen to the lyrics and try to figure what they mean why listen to conor, or music with lyrics at all? His lyrics are what make him a genius. My Interpretation | Reviewer: michael | 7/15/09 I just say it how it makes me feel. My own experience leads me to hear it as I would have meant to write it. That being said I think that this song is about wanting to be with someone but sabotaging the budding relationship unconsciously for fear of its intensity/implications. I don't know | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/11/09 I'm not saying that I'm right, just putting in my two cents. When I listened to this song I got that it was about him being in a relationship with someone, and they do lots of drugs together. In the song, he talks about maybe experiences they had or what they usually did together, many of the metaphors are probably personal so they probably aren't easy to understand. And I thought it sounded like the girl was really deep into drugs, while he was more laid back about it. And all those white lines that sped us up We hurried to our death Well I lagged behind... So you got ahead' and that sounds like he stopped doing as much drugs, and she didnt, and possible overdosed and died. so pretty much the song sounds like it is about him being in a relationship with a girl who eventually dies. how sad. Iunno | Reviewer: Chloe | 5/17/09 Personally, this song isnt about the drugs for me. Sure, all the references are there but it just seems to be a lot more about love than drugs. I suppose that everyone interprets it a certain way, finds different meanings in Connor's words but for me, its all about the love. Regardless of what its about though, its a beautifully written song Whatever | Reviewer: Alice | 4/14/09 its about a guy who was in love but everyone wanted to ruin their love and so he got so depressed he started using drugs instead of holding on and never giving up on her and their love. so he lost her hence the "well i lagged behind, so you got ahead." Please | Reviewer: Chad | 3/10/09 The drugs may be apparent in the song but It has more to do with his lonliness than the drugs. The drugs form a metaphor for the emptiness he feels now and the easy, almost cheap happiness he once felt. He sees the beauty in a love tangled with illicit substances that left their love gutted of all it's worth. The whole thing about drugs being expensive and weed smoke is superfluous. The whole thing about weed and drugs being expensive in previous posts is superfolous. drug double entendres | Reviewer: Jeff | 2/3/09 The drug references are double entendres. The "smoke" is dope OR just breath in the cold air. The "white lines" are lines of coke OR the white lines on a highway. And the "nice clean cut" - presumably the separation between him and the girl - is only "like" a bag of drugs divided evenly. The drug references are there, but have been overinterpreted by earlier reviewers. Correction | Reviewer: Liz | 10/20/08 To the poster Rhonk: "Let's have a nice clean cut, like a bag we buy and divy up..." isn't about getting a bunch of people together to split the cost or cutting it with other substances. When you buy coke and people throw down money, you have to evenly cut the coke into lines and divy it up evenly.
