“Always Silver” was released as a single over a year after the release of Lotus Gate. The song marked a shift in Kainalu’s sound to somewhere between Lotus Gate and what would eventually become Ginseng Hourglass.
The track was remastered and rereleased for Ginseng Hourglass on November 4, 2022 as “...
[Verse]
I'm never set back throwing my races
'Cause I’ve always felt silver shines brighter than gold, yeah
Nobody gets me that irritated
I won't fall for you baby, stall for you baby, ah
I only take shots when I can drain them
And I’ve always felt silver shines brighter than gold, yeah
Nobody gets the best, best of my patience
I won’t walk to you, baby
Talk with you, baby
Call for you, baby
[Chorus]
Only you
Tell me what we're trying to delay, baby
Only you
Throw me the line
You know, I want to be the go-to
For only you
Tell me what you need me to say
I’m gamе for
Only you
Only you
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, it’s all too familiar
Neck draped in silvеr
No, the feeling doesn’t own me
Namesake is Asomi
[Verse]
I never get stressed checking my statements
And I’ve always felt silver shines brighter than gold, yeah
I set my best dressed, basic and tasteless
I don’t need flashy clothing
Play hands I’m holding
Take the L if need be
This song’s gettin' preachy
[Chorus]
Only you
Tell me what we're trying to delay, baby
Only you
Throw me the line
You know, I want to be the go-to
For only you
Tell me what you need me to say
I’m game for
Only you
Only you
