Golden - Jillian Dolan (Tiny Desk Contest Entry 2025)

Golden by Jillian Dolan (2025 Tiny Desk Contest Submission)
Lyrics:
Rows of flowing darkened hair
Dancing dizzy, stripping bare
We can’t hide behind that curtain now
The fabrics far too sheer
Tell all of your stories child
While they still want to hear
You’re the keeper of my muse
You leave me frozen, you let me bloom
You can’t hide behind that curtain now
The fabrics far too sheer
Tell all of your stories child
While they still want to hear
We turn golden for a moment now
Secret potion, breathe it in and out
You may find yourself to be lost at sea, on your knees
And I find myself to be far below a weeping evergreen,
Where I believe I am free
You will find me with my doom
With the pending of my tomb
We can’t hide behind that curtain now
The fabrics far too sheer
Can’t tell all of your stories child
They don’t want to hear of all the things you could have been
All the lying, all the sin
The last time that you shed a grin,
ripping pictures, sipping gin
You crave the rush, you crave the spin
Drinks dripping down your chin
Pulling at your fragile skin
All the things you could have been
