Song Meaning of “A Golden Grey” by Taproot
A Golden Grey is about a person reflecting on a past relationship and taking stock in the lessons they have learned from it. The narrator reflects on a past love as they recognize that it was not good for them despite the feelings they had in the moment. The person acknowledges that devotion and loss can go hand in hand, and that it was okay to release that person despite their devotion.
The narrator realizes that their self worth was not dependent on the relationship outcome and that they ultimately have more control than they think. They now embrace the feeling of being at peace by accepting the things they can and cannot control. The enduring theme of the song is that if one finds solace in the moments of love and loss and finds strength in the lessons it teaches, one can achieve a feeling of ‘golden grey’, a feeling of peace and harmony as they move forward.
