Foals - Black Gold Lyrics
Top of the world, bottom of the ocean
Top of the world, bottom of the ocean
They built you up and broke you down again
So now you hope to beat the surf in
It's not where you've been to at all
The future is not what you see
It's not where you've been to at all
The future is not what it used to be, used to be
The future is not what it used to be, used to be
Top of the world, bottom of the ocean
Top of the world, bottom of the ocean
They lit you up and found the ground again
Cause the future is not what you see
It's not where you've been to at all
The future is not what you see
It's not where you've been to at all
The future is not what it used to be, used to be
The future is not what it used to be, used to be
They buried the gold, your ancestry's sold and left
Just the residue
They buried the gold, your ancestry's sold and left
Just the mist of you
They buried the gold, your ancestry's sold and left
Just the residue
They buried the gold, your ancestry's sold and left
Just the mist of you
Now what's happened to you, look what's happened to you
What's happened to you
Now that spring is finally here
Your hollow heart, your hollow heart
Drive through the forest and into the night
Away from the city, away from the light
Hollow heart, your hollow heart
You know
And we're worlds apart
And we're worlds apart
They gouge you out, they dug you in
They took the name right out of your mouth
Hollow heart, your hollow heart
You know
Worlds apart
And we're worlds apart
Into yourself past of it
Into yourself past of it
Into yourself past of it
Into yourself past of it
Into yourself
Into yourself
Into yourself
Into yourself
Into yourself
Into yourself

Foals Black Gold Comments
Absolut gold, iam from runner. <3
I can't hold back my tears of feelings after the Foals songs
Dear Foals. I like your old stuff better than your new stuff.
Gold, for sure
We were born to late to explore the new lands in the world and too early to explore the universe, but we are in the perfect time and place to listen to Foals.
I forgot how good this album and track really are.
Love this band so fucking tight!
Still their best song in my opinion. The build up, the atmosphere, its just so perfect!
It's either this or Spanish sahara for me
Amazing music ... !!!
This stuff mixes with Stereo Lab and Pinback perfectly.
piece of art definitely <3
ανυπομονώ να τους δω live!!
❤🎸🌊🌊💧
fav 4e♥♥♥♥♥
This song is stupid good.
I want to be pacific i swear !
This Band is nothing new musically as they sound like many in the same genre. But imo they do a good job of making quality sound.
Foals "... puede ser una música de montaña rusa emocional." escribe Edna Isabel en VECTORES. Esta canción se mueve en dos momentos, uno de opresión y el otro de liberación; uno de explotación y abuso, y otro de conciencia y de reconocimiento personal y colectiva. Espectacular las formas musicales en que expresa la nefasta industria petrolera y la apuesta por acciones transformadoras para hacer de otra forma las cosas. My favourite song by them.
When they used to make music.
They still do lol
¿Cómo me caso con está canción?
enfants spirituels de Roxy music
Really cool
I always picture kirsten dunst floating weightless underwater, midday sun piercing through the ocean and angelic choirs above that can be pictured just through sound, while listening to this song.
then oil invades every particle of the ocean, that turns into treacle; kirsten's soft skin is eaten alive by bleakness. just a minuscule speck of glimmering light ignites, her golden predawn aura prevails over viscous malignant cimmerian greed, just like midas' hands it expands, evolving it invades every molecule til it fills the entire picture with total life forever
Haven’t listen to you guys in years Glad to be back reunited ❤️
😌💜✨
que buena cancion
Absolutley brilliant music i always enjoy listening to the Foals
Wonderful album full of amazing songs.
1:20 reminds me a Rock the Casbah
soo damn beautiful... a tear fall....
Magnificent
Top of the world, bottom of the ocean
Top of the world, bottom of the ocean
They built you up and broke you down again
So now you hope to beat the surf in
Cause the future is not what you see
It's not where you've been to at all
The future is not what you see
It's not where you've been to at all
The future is not what it used to be, used to be
The future is not what it used to be, used to be
Top of the world, bottom of the ocean
Top of the world, bottom of the ocean
They lit you up and found the ground again
So now you know to beat the surf in
Cause the future is not what you see
It's not where you've been to at all
The future is not what you see
It's not where you've been to at all
The future is not what it used to be, used to be
The future is not what it used to be, used to be
They buried the gold, your ancestry's sold and left
Just the residue
They buried the gold, your ancestry's sold and left
Just the mist of you
They buried the gold, your ancestry's sold and left

Into yourself
Into yourself

Into yourself
Into yourself
Into yourself
total life forever is their best album . by far
I feel alive
Finding a sound like what Foals had done on this album is a unique catch. It is quite like mix of math rock, with shoe gaze, post rock, and other progressive influences. This is by far Foals best album. It sounds so much like snakadaktal's sleep in the water. I wish foals had experimented with this sound a lot more
dope tbh
78 people buried the gold and left just the thumbs down
just gold
algum br?
br que escuta foals ? achei que era só uma lenda
Felipe Aparecido Lendas são reais se acredita nelas hehe.
Luway 3039. Ahsusshushjhshs pode crer
Luway 3039 é noix
Blessings to my black family and ancient Kemitic ancestors. Thanks for the song Foals. 🙌🏾
After three years I came across with this song, it still takes me to other places and makes me feel comfortable meanwhile the "nobody is used to be" sounds in the background. That phrase causes that I cannot see who I was after two years under depression. But shit, I don't wanna be the old guy and I'm not him anymore.
Thanks Foals.
This song is about black people.
My favorite band.
So beautiful
Whoever you are who bumped this to 1 million by listening everyday. we finally fucking did it.
I'm only 19 and I'm really into alternative/ indie music but finding it is the hardest thing. But The Foal is by far my favorite band.
enjoy..
Summer Mefford seriously i felt crazy when i heard this at the taxi.
who's The Foal?
The build-up in Foals songs is so epic. Makes you feel like you are in a trance and it never gets boring. Foals should never stop. True legends
Saw them live about a year ago. I got the chills with every song they played, and I was pretty far from the scenario. Needless to say they rock the sh*t out of us that night.
Sander De W yes they are 🤝💋
dias o noches Ricardo?
I wonder, what u should feel, to write a masterpiece like this <3
exelente
Hermosa canción, ¿Soy el único comentario en español?
ya no, ya no. qué canción más emotiva y bonita. llena de alma.
I don't' even know what to say, this is just incredible. A lot of love for these guys...
listen to it in a steaming shower. feels like their performing right in front of you
wordsD Vlogs that applies to most of their songs 😂😂
bodyboard
This is such an "Epic" in the most literal sense of the word. It is long and progressive and flat out beautiful !!!!
los amo profundamente... enserio, sus canciones me enamoran día a día, son increíbles... falta tan poco para verlos ... AGUANTE FOALS FOREVER !!!!!
THIS SONG IS AWESOME
I've listened to this track like 30 times but never really payed attention to the deep lyrics
I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH OMGGGG ❤️❤️❤️
best song from Foals.
I really do enjoy every second in this song
Yeah, but I hate the part from 6:27 to 6:44
"Now that spring is finally here
Your hollow heart, your hollow heart
Drive through the forest and into the night
Away from the city, away from the light"
abluecassette future is not what it used to be used to bee
Anybody here because of Rebecca Grant? 😋
my favorite song
@stevolive got me here
This album. My god. Must have listened to it hundreds of times. So sad they've changed their style. Much as I try, I can't get into their new sound.
well what went down is a good album you just need to listen to the songs a few times and you'll get hooked
los amo tanto que duele.
tan bonita su musica
Que buen tema
Whenever i listen to this song i just cant help but feel so amazing. I always come to this section and look at the people praising the shit out of it to see if they appreciate it as much as I do, I'm so glad you all do.
This song is absolutely perfect and brings out such an amazing feeling in me. Still my favourite Foals song and I've heard them all. <3
+Turtle Power I feel you there, it is a perfect song. I recommend the Antidotes album, although it takes some time to get into it is very good. Nothing beats this album though.
@Moviesmusicme I adore this song too and really hope their new stuff sounds more like this! i feel like its more experimental and post rocky than their new stuff
3:55-5:45 on repeat since 2010. Fantastic!
exactly. the way the song rises to a whole new level at that point is like ecstasy.
Yep, my favorite couple minutes in all of music.
even some seconds earlier. Sometimes you have to serve boring start to make it so organic at the end. amazing song
This is possibly best song I heard in last 20 years❤️❤️
Thanks Steven Colbert/Life is Strange for allowing me to fall in love with Foals all over again
2:28 I feel like I'm going to another dimension
blurNNesess Me too 😊
fucking trueeeee
This is crazy!
I just can't stop listening to foals...
this is the best.
deep sounds make you travel in with this tripping song
I'm 100% erect right now.
David Fernandez xdxdxd
yeah i always have a like or dislike for comments on songs
this time
i have none
homoerectus
Man, you are not alone *nohomo
Deffo music to make love to!
want to hear more? try Black Gold 2, 8 minutes of more amazingness
Still one of their absolute best!
imagine a philharmonic doing this song with an orchestra. shit would be crazy.
god damnit, now i really need this in my life
i love this song, but Spanish Sahara will always be my favorite.
Hey does anyone know how you would describe this music? alternative maybe?
Indie/rock/folk kinda, look at my playlist: folk/indie, if you like this, you might like that playlist as well.
@Angel Bijveld Gracias
+Palmer Hicks Progressive.
+Angel Bijveld Uhhhhhh I would definitely not use folk as a description....this is definitely NOT folk or related
so many amazing moments in this song holy crap

This is their best song. For everything. From the very beginning to the end.
2:28 MAY GAWD!
2:28 TE BEST PART EVER
On repeat.
@DagoyAcaShow I completely agree with you. At 2:28 everything starts.
but ... but ... 3.55 ... it gets even better (if that's possible)
One of my favourite songs EVER
<3
the whole song builds up to 5:16!
if you like this sound try chinese group p.k. 14
@Merkaba Ifeel the honesty within your life, please, share more of your experiences darling
Wow!
what a great song
This song is pretty damn good.
Best song I have ever heard , the guitar ending resonates with my soul and I feel like I remember a tragedy or something passionate from past lives............
that means they've felt it too then.
I hear ya
Yeah u tell it like you feel it!
Favourite song
is it doe
Would be a weird thing to make up haha
3:50 on top of the world at that moment
Mollie Simmons i always think this moment was only my favorite and now i think is amazing because is yours too
The song is a masterpiece from start to finish but I agree that part onwards is just on a another level.
At 00:51 I have the insatiable desire to bust out dancing
4.46 fav part
I remmember getting into this band around 2008 and im still listening to their music, its great they have finally reached recognition for their art.I am just glad to know that i have been a early supporter of their music and i wish they can come tour here in the us again.
