I hadn’t gone into the studio - I hadn’t filled out the cinematic proportions it ended up taking. It didn’t strike me as having a relationship to “Cold Cold Water” because there was no orchestration yet. When I first wrote “Gold Rush” on guitar, the whole structure was there. In an interview with Tiny Mix Tapes, Mirah describes her process of making this song: After the gold rush shook off the gold dust After we'd taken more than god had meant for us We dammed up plenty but still felt empty The land was rich but we left it poor I've spent a fine sum, but I will share I know you're thirsty and unprepared When I wet my lips with love you'll feel me there But then I'll run from you 'cause I'm scared And I've trained myself to run this way, I've trained myself to fly And I've dragged you all this way without an understanding why And I'm holding on to nothing - oh, I know that hurts your pride I just thought I could keep you from the loss of having to say goodbye But there's nothing ever saving us from that we're gonna die No, there's nothing ever saving us from that we're gonna die Come see my wide eyes, behold my wild mind I love you, leave you here by my blindside But when 14 feet came on a flood tide I still tried to keep us up, to hold us high And I never meant to put you down But this disaster that came through the town Rose up the sea and tunnels drowned My boats broke free and battered you 'round But if you hold me like I'm your girl I'll still hold you like I'm your girl In this the ending of the world In this the ending of the world
