What is “Liquid Gold” about?
"Liquid Gold" imagines music as something poured, a golden sound spilling from the speakers onto the floor. The repeated request to "pour it slow" ties the image to a night that is just beginning to glow, and the short lyric trails off into echoed repetitions of the title rather than building a narrative. Third on Tide Clock, it picks up the golden imagery of the opener, "Golden Hour," and carries it onto the dance floor.
Liquid Gold lyrics
Liquid gold
Dripping through the speakers on the floor
Liquid gold
Pour it slow
Pour it slow into the night we glow
Pour it slow
Liquid gold
(gold... gold... gold...)
