My grills are so neat
Drip icy cold
Got offshore bank accounts and diamond blue palm trees
My platinum troubles are drowning in pink champagne
Escape into the sky in my own private jet
That’s what I dream of in my head
Gold coins everywhere
Dollars up in the air
It’s a billionaire’s love affair
Gold coins out the window
Money pours like the rain falls
And I’m spending like I don’t care
Richlist and Bentleys
That’s how I roll
These rock stars buy me pearls topped off with rubies rare
I stack it so high
Build a pretty green castle wall
I’ll hide inside my fortress, smoking in my bed
That’s what I dream of in my head
Gold coins everywhere
Dollars up in the air
It’s a billionaire’s love affair
Gold coins everywhere
Dollars up in the air
It’s a billionaire’s love affair
Gold coins everywhere
Dollars up in the air
It’s a billionaire’s love affair
Opulent Dreams and Escapism
“Gold Coins” by Charli XCX is a vibrant celebration of luxury and fantasy. The lyrics paint a picture of extravagant living, with references to diamond blue palm trees, private jets, and endless streams of wealth. The recurring imagery of gold coins raining down and dollars in the air conveys a sense of limitless abundance. Charli XCX uses these symbols not just to flaunt material success, but also to express a desire for escape—building a fortress of riches and retreating into personal fantasies. The track cleverly balances the thrill of opulence with an underlying yearning for freedom and self-indulgence, making it an anthem for aspirational daydreamers.
