[Gold and the Soul] [ Verse 1: Male Vocals ] The hum of the monitors fills up the room A blue screen is flickering inside the gloom Trying to make a chartbuster late in the night They chase the cold shadow of digital light. [ Chorus 1: Male and Female Duet ] We walk the line where the gold meets the soul Fighting the hunger for total control Winning the world but losing the way Is the price of the crown we’re willing to pay? [ Verse 2: Female Vocals ] A framed award hangs on the studio wall Because you feel proud of your achievements and all But the spotlight is trying to outshine everyone Until the weight of the glitter feels like a ton. [ Chorus 2: Male and Female Duet ] We walk the line where the gold meets the soul Fighting the hunger for total control Winning the world but losing the way Is the price of the crown we’re willing to pay? [ Bridge: Male and Female Duet ] The music falls silent, the heartbeat is loud Standing alone, far away from the crowd A handwritten sheet: Trying to tell your story The truth’s in the silence, not in the glory. [ Verse 3: Male and Female Duet ] A sea of filtered comments on a glass screen From trying to impress everyone you’ve seen But the high note they hit is a bridge to the truth Healing the cracks from the vanity of youth. [ Final Chorus: Male and Female Duet ] We walk the line where the gold meets the soul Knowing that being ourselves is the goal We reached for the top and we kept the voice clear The truth is the only sound we want to hear. [ Outro: Male and Female Duet ] The hum of the gear fades to a ghost of a sound The feet of the dreamers are back on the ground The story remains It always remains.
