King’s X Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴I can't believe summer's almost here
I made it through another year even if alone
But there's no tears in my eyes, life is still full of surprise
I'm not looking for a one night stand

I stand behind you and I watch you from a mile away
Wishing you could be the one but not here this way

I got to know your name
I must know who you are, yeah

I look at you and I know who you are
You're just a little bit too far from my home
But please don't get me wrong even though it has been long
I hope I never sing my last song without someone

I stand behind you and I watch you from a mile away
Wishing you could be the one but not here this way

I got to know your name
And I must know who you are, yeah

I stand behind you and I watch you from a mile away
I'm wishing you could be the one but not here this way

I'd like to know your name
And I must know who you are, yeah


Overall Meaning

The lyrics to King's X's song Goldilox describe the feelings of a person who is alone, but still hopeful about finding someone special. The beginning of the song suggests that the singer has gone through a difficult year, but is facing the upcoming summer with optimism. They may be alone, but they do not feel lonely, indicating an inner strength and resilience. The singer goes on to describe their desire to connect with someone, but not just for a one-night stand. This longing is highlighted in the lines "I got to know your name / I must know who you are, yeah."


The second half of the song emphasizes the singer's distance from the person they are interested in. They are watching them from a mile away, but they are still drawn to them, expressing their desire to know their name and who they are. The repeated phrase "I stand behind you and I watch you from a mile away" creates a sense of longing and unattainability, suggesting that the person may be out of reach for the singer. Despite this, the song ends on a hopeful note, with the singer declaring that they hope they never have to sing their last song without someone.
