God's Pink Laser
Bubblegum Octopus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The places you left me alone with god and his great pink laser
Like a movie you'll come to me smiling widely, our hearts guiding to each other more than ever.
(I had the nerve to ask you for you deep compassion)
I should just die rather than cry, my brain's empty, can't you see me?
Can't believe this happened like this. This is no life for one like me to live alone.
Stars are falling and the big rays shoot from his gun and hit the sun.
The moon gives away my hiding place and then god gets all angry.
You should have never let me go. It's about time that you show how much you care about me. Why can't I be?
When I saw you I just knew that there was no other.
One for me. to love and breath
I'll never be seen, I'll take mine and leave.
This angry god and his pink beams.
The lyrics to Bubblegum Octopus's song, God's Pink Laser, convey a storyline of unrequited love, desperation, and the struggle to escape from God's wrath. The first few lines of the song describe a deserted space where the singer is left with nothing but God's pink laser. As the song progresses, it's clear that the singer is in a painful state of longing and feels isolated from the world because they cannot be with the one they love. The second verse continues to describe the singer's agony through lines like "I should just die rather than cry, my brain's empty, can't you see me?" The singer is unable to imagine life alone and is constantly in fear of God and His pink beams.
God's Pink Laser seems to be a metaphor that represents the wrath of God or the cosmic force that governs the universe. The laser symbolizes the swift and final retribution that God can bring upon people. In this song, the singer is trying to escape the wrath of God by hiding, but ultimately, the moon reveals their hiding spot, and God's anger is unleashed. The song tells a story of failed love and the psychological torment that accompanies it, but it's also a warning about the cosmic forces that exist beyond our control.

I'll never forget sharing a stage with him after being a fan since 02. Don't let them lie to you kids meet your heros. Matt is half the reason I got into weirdo underground music and continue to make strange music to this day 18 years later.n

I rate this song "99/10 Would listen again", it has everything : deep lyrics discussing god's role and life's meaning metal-like screaming retro music high BPM a lengthy outro to realize what you just listened to a fun yet interesting and fresh style it's not mainstream
