this song is about courage and how valuable it is in anything you want to achieve. Culturally, lion represents courage, which is of course opposite of fear.
This song reminds me of 2006.. I think the song itself is about Las Vegas Nevada, with the MGM "Gold Lion" Hotel being across from the Luxor where the big light is on top of the pyramid, hense "Gold Lion gonna tell me where the light is".. Then "take our hands out of control" could be the force of gambling in Vegas, you're not necessarily in control when you start winning and losing in those casinos.
@boowitz Yes, she definitely channels Siouxsie, but in just the line where she says 'Gold Lion' I hear a bit of the same sound as Soak Up The Sun, it sounds as if there's two of her. It's hard to explain!

@Swell92 ARE YOU KIDDING THEY'RE AWESOME LIVE. I ALMOST PEED MY PANTS WHEN I FIRST SAW THEM.....my huge karen o fetish might give me a biased opinion though...
@TheDeadEndProject I could see them being much better in a smaller venue. But at Leeds Fest i'm not sure, they were just so unlivey, maybe an off day for them i don't know. Or it could have been they came on after Vampire Weekend who are extremely lively.

@rainydaylove91 but also gold lion is a reference to heroin...which im pretty sure she has done or is doing (some of the lyrics sound like metaphors). :)..nevertheless...this song is absolutely amazing.
i was singing this randomly in health class (after class) and i got to the part "i must have done a dozen each" my teacher looks up at me with a look of concern/worry but also like shock and dismay. I had a good laugh, he didn't get it.. i did.
i was the 1400th like. dubs: check em
