Minimal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I have so many thoughts about the past
Have so many thoughts
Bright sun burns the skin
And demons crawl out into the world to sin
Demons crawl out into the world to sin
Let's try this spaghetti!
I’ve looked around enough to know
Believe me and leave me
You’re trying your hardest
Violet is my favorite color
I live everyday like it's all an old drama
I drink only black coffee
Walking down the street I feel light and frothy
Cause I forgetti all my sadness and regretti!
It's time for spaghetti
I’ve looked around enough to know
that dwelling on the past and its accompanying thoughts of sadness and regret only prevents growth and happiness. The singer acknowledges that every time they open their eyes, they are bombarded with these thoughts, indicating that they are constantly grappling with the weight of their past experiences.
The mention of the bright sun burning the skin juxtaposed with demons crawling out into the world to sin creates a contrasting imagery. It suggests that despite the external beauty and warmth of the sun, there are internal struggles and darkness that exist within oneself and in the world. The demons crawling out can be seen as metaphors for negative influences or behaviors that tempt and lead the singer astray.
The chorus plays with the phrase "Forgetti all my sadness and regretti" in a lighthearted and playful way, using the word "spaghetti" to break away from the seriousness of the topic. It implies that the singer is trying to find a way to let go of their sadness and regrets, even if it means resorting to something as seemingly simple as eating spaghetti. The line "I’ve looked around enough to know, believe me and leave me, you’re trying your hardest" suggests that the singer has seen enough of the world and its struggles, urging others to understand them and let them go their own way.
Overall, the lyrics of "Minimal" capture the internal battle between past regrets and the desire to move forward. The singer seeks to find a way to forget and let go, even if it means using humor and simplicity as a coping mechanism.

No other pop bands get even close to touching this.. 10/10

Del disco "Fundamental" extrajeron los Pet Shop Boys su segundo single: "Minimal".El tiempo y el espacio.La vida y la sombra en una melodía exquisita, rociada como suele ser habitual en el dúo con una estela orquestal que hace vibrar las cumbres de lo sublime. "Ligth, sublime, subliminal".Estamos ante uno de los temas más perfectos y compactos del grupo, acaso aún mejor en la versión del álbum, sin los recortes innecesarios del single. Ellos fueron los primeros minimalistas en el mundo del pop.
Christian Heitmann
Los Pet Shop Boys se fundarían en 1981. No fueron los primeros minimalistas. En los años 70, Kraftwerk también tuvo éxito con el minimalismo:

La Neue Deutsche Welle también tenía elementos de minimalismo

Absolutamente infravalorada, es una genialidad más del dúo, que debería ocupar un lugar mas relevante en su ilimitada lista de hits.
