Interpretations
When asked about the song in an interview with Courtney Love for Spin in October 1997, Nicks said:
| “ | You know what, Courtney? I don't really know what "Gold Dust Woman" is about. I know there was cocaine there and that I fancied it gold dust, somehow. I'm going to have to go back to my journals and see if I can pull something out about "Gold Dust Woman". Because I don't really know. It's weird that I'm not quite sure. It can't be all about cocaine. | ” |
In an interview for VH1's Classic Album series, Nicks offered further insight into the song's meaning:
| “ | "Gold Dust Woman" was my kind of symbolic look at somebody going through a bad relationship, doing a lot of drugs, and trying to make it. Trying to live. Trying to get through it. | ” |
