Pink Bubbles Go Ape
Helloween Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They know everything before it starts
Eating wisdom with the pail
No wonder when it sticks
In your darkest hour I will sing this song for you
And slander
Yell and grumble well
So loud for heaven's sake
Pink bubbles go ape!
The lyrics to Helloween's "Pink Bubbles Go Ape" portray a commentary on the dangers of arrogance and thinking one knows everything before it even happens. The opening lines suggest that some people believe that they are excessively intelligent and see themselves as experts in everything, even before they have experienced them. They think they have everything figured out and don't leave room for error, which in turn makes them closed off to new experiences and perspectives. This line is followed by "Eating wisdom with the pail," which is a metaphor that implies that these people are so sure of their intelligence that they consume wisdom as if it's something to be devoured, rather than something to contemplate and consider.
However, the following lines of "No wonder when it sticks" suggest that their approach to wisdom is not only flawed, but it also causes them to be stuck in their ways. The song then takes a positive turn with the uplifting lyrics, "In your darkest hour, I will sing this song for you." This line suggests that there is always a ray of hope even in the darkest of times. The song then ends with the joyful chorus of "Pink bubbles go ape!" which is a metaphor that symbolizes the joy, freedom, and playfulness that comes from being open to new experiences, rather than being stuck in preconceived notions.
Line by Line Meaning
Some people are much too smart
There are individuals out there who think very highly of themselves and consider themselves extremely intelligent.
They know everything before it starts
These people believe they have total knowledge about everything even before it happens or they experience it.
Eating wisdom with the pail
Their arrogance leads them to consume knowledge excessively, hoping to gain more wisdom than others.
No wonder when it sticks
It's not surprising that their wisdom or knowledge becomes their identity because they take it in so excessively.
In your darkest hour I will sing this song for you
Even in your lowest or darkest moment, I will stand by you and provide you with comfort and hope through this song.
Cry and tell
It's okay to cry and express your emotions to someone who will listen and understand.
And slander
However, it's not okay to spread false and malicious rumors about someone else.
Yell and grumble well
Expressing anger and complaining can be healthy ways of releasing pent up emotions, but it's important not to be hurtful towards others while doing so.
So loud for heaven's sake
It's important to express yourself, but causing unnecessary disturbance or being disrespectful is uncalled for.
Pink bubbles go ape!
This line is simply a fun phrase without a clear meaning, as it was meant to be ambiguous and add to the quirky nature of the song. It could suggest a sudden eruption of happy, carefree energy that causes even pink bubbles to go crazy with excitement.

El disco de verdad no tiene pérdida. Lamentablemente es subestimado al igual que Chameleon. Ojalá en próximas giras tomen en cuenta las canciones de este icónico álbum.
