“gold star” is a sardonic song about a former love interest of Ūla’s. She compares his love of attention and affection to that of a child wanting a gold star for a job well done. An alt-indie electropop banger perfect for screaming in the car backtracks this iconic piece of music.
[Verse 1]
Open your mind looking for recollection
Pretending you can't find it
No more mistakes if you're gonna regret then
I'm deciding if you're lyin'
[Pre-Chorus]
Over-consume, presume
You've got no soul
You can just laugh, I'll make it on my own
Over and over, you stay on sleep mode
[Chorus]
Falling for the same shit
Memory explains it
Like a child, do you want a gold star?
Sick of your complainin'
As if it's me who did it
Has this got you very far?
[Verse 2]
You could see much further then
But it's harder when you're hard on yourself
You could try to make amends
Seek out a friend
But you feel so compelled (pelled)
To wear your designer clothes
When we all know you're not all that
Say your dollars come from posts
You cause commotions
Living life just too fast
[Pre-Chorus]
Over-consume, presume
You've got no soul
You can just laugh, l'II make it on my own
Over and over, you stay on sleep mode
[Chorus]
Falling for the same shit
Memory explains it
Like a child, do you want a gold star?
Sick of your complaining
As if it's me who did it
Has this got you very far?
[Post-Chorus]
All your choices end in crashes
You keep spending all my cash (and)
How you hold yourself up
It's kinda messed up
Falling for the same shit
Memory explains it
Have fun, we know you know how to
[Bridge]
Hey narcissist
You can't resist
Drowning in your ego
Hey narcissist
I'm convinced
You're so full of shit (haha)
[Chorus]
Falling for the same shit
Memory explains it
Like a child, do you want a gold star?
Sick of your complaining
As if it's me who did it (oh)
Has this got you very far?
[Post-Chorus]
All your choices end in crashes
You keep spending all my cash (and)
How you hold yourself up
It's kinda messed up
Falling for the same shit
Memory explains it
Have fun, we know you know how to
