NEIL YOUNG

- Eldorado Lyrics

In the crystal ball
The gypsy sees the villa
The riders on the hill
The fire in the fields
She sees the mission bell
Swinging in the silence
Now the shooting starts
The bullets pierce the hearts
The seqoritas crying at the well.

Up in the Gold Hotel
The money hits the table
The heavies all are there
That's why the deal's goin' down
Beautiful women all dressed in
Diamonds and sable
Down upon the street
Beside a garbage heap
A Mariachi band begins to play.

Somewhere a blues guitar
Plays echoes in the alleyway
The Tijuana dawn
Claims another day
The golden sun
Rises on the runway
The pilot understands
The money changes hands
Inside the jet
the briefcase snaps. Goodbye.

In Eldorado town
There lives a great bullfighter
His eyes are screaming blue
His hair is red as blood
And when the gate goes up
The crowd gets so excited
And he comes dancin' out
Dressed in gold lami
He kills the bull
and lives another day.

What is the meaning behind Eldorado lyrics?


When we analyze the meaning behind the words, Neil Young’s 'Eldorado' is a song that tells through its verses a town-like place where many events are happening representing different values and life aspects. The crystal ball, villa, riders, and mission bell are all symbols of foresight and future happenings, whereas the bullfighter is a symbol of bravery and victory over risk and thrill. Eldorado lyrics dominantly focus on the themes of reflection, adventure, angst, celebration, and social criticism. The song is on the one hand about all the negative aspects that arise from violence and conflicts, the luxury of wealth and the abundance of pleasures, cultural imagery as the paradox of bravery and risk. The lyrics are not in a minor key in their treatment of the adult themes of violence and emotional suffering, indeed, the words spoken in the song come from both the gun and the heart, which would render it unsuitable for the very young. But still, the whole thing does not attain the level of severity appropriate for a higher rating.
