"gold seeking ends" has been your thing for so long, what does it mean? congrats btw! love ur work!
"gold seeking ends" is a frank ocean lyric from the second verse of "skyline to" on blond(e). this is the line in context:
On comes the evening, gold seeking ends Piece in my hand worth twice than a friend
my interpretation is that if you take it as an independent line, it means that the good things in life (gold) are never permanent, and will always seek an end. but the way it's arranged is very elaborate. you have the first line, which suggests that the sun is setting, and that's the gold that's seeking ends. but then you have the word "piece" in the second line, which creates the idea of a gold piece, like jewelry - and then when you combine that with the idea that it's worth twice than a friend - literally, through net worth, or figuratively, through spiritual value. but you can also read into it as "gold peace", like, "peace is golden", or the piece is a blunt, and the high gives him peace. AND THEN you can see it as "ends" being "means to an end" like a goal, in which wealth is a pathway to a goal. just such an incredible line. if i were to get a tattoo, it would be that.
