During an interview with NBHAP Lemoine told that childhood is the “The Golden Age” for him.
One of the main themes of the album is growth, discovery and life, it starts with the song about childhood that is gonna end.
[Verse 1]
Walking through the fields of gold
In the distance, bombs can fall
Boy we're running free
Facing light in the flow
And in the cherry trees
We're hiding from the world
[Chorus]
But the golden age is over
But the golden age is over
[Verse 2]
Boy, we're dancing through the snow
Waters freeze, the wind blows
Did you ever feel
We're falling as we grow?
No, I would not believe
The light could ever go
[Chorus]
But the golden age is over
But the golden age is over
[Breakdown]
[Verses 3]
Listen, I can hear the call
As I'm walking through the door
Did you ever dream
We'd miss the mornings in the sun?
The playgrounds in the streets
The bliss of slumberland
Boy, we are family
No matter what they say
But boys are meant to flee
And run away one day
[Outro]
When the golden age is over
Oh the golden age is over
But the golden age is over
The golden age is over
