Ave Mary A
P!nk Lyrics

Motorcycle's in the parking lot
Loud motorcycles in the parking lot are a metaphor for the constant noise in the singer's mind.

Revving their engines and it just wont stop
The sound of engines revving is constant and never-ending, matching the constant noise in the singer's head.

Matches the noise screaming in my head
The sound of the motorcycles matches the loud and chaotic noise in the singer's mind.

Houston I think we got a problem
Houston is a metaphor representing a world in chaos, just like the singer's mind.

Where does everybody go when they go
The singer questions where people go when they escape from the chaos of the world.

The go so fast I don't think they know
People seem to be rushing through life, without truly knowing what they are doing.

We hate so fast
Hate is a quick reaction, often without full consideration of the situation.

And we love too slow
Love is often slow to develop or grow, in contrast to hate which is quick and easy to feel.

London I think we got a problem
London is a metaphor representing a world in chaos, just like the singer's mind.

And when I think about it
The singer finds it difficult to think clearly about the chaos of the world and her mind.

I just can't think about it
The chaos is overwhelming and the singer cannot comprehend it.

I try to drink about it
The singer tries to numb herself with alcohol to escape the chaos.

I keep spinning
The singer feels helpless and trapped, unable to escape the noise and chaos in her mind.

Ave Mary A
Ave Mary A is a plea to the Virgin Mary for help and guidance in the midst of chaos.

Where did you go
The singer asks where the Virgin Mary has gone in the midst of her chaos and pain.

How did you know
The singer is in awe of the Virgin Mary's ability to escape the chaos and wonders how she did it.

To get out of a world gone mad
The singer sees the world as a chaotic and mad place, and wonders how the Virgin Mary escaped it.

Help me let go
The singer asks the Virgin Mary to help her let go of the chaos and pain in her mind.

Of the chaos around me
The singer is surrounded by chaos and hopes to escape it.

The devil that hounds me
The singer feels like she is being pursued by dark forces or her own inner demons.

I need you to tell me
The singer needs guidance and reassurance from the Virgin Mary.

Child be still
The Virgin Mary tells the singer to be calm and still, to let go of the noise and chaos around her.

Broken hearts all around the spot
The world is full of broken hearts and sadness.

I can't help thinking that we lost the plot
The singer feels like people have lost their way and forgotten what's really important.

Suicide bomber and a student shot
Violence and tragedy are prevalent in the world.

Tokyo I think we got a problem
Tokyo is a metaphor representing a world in chaos, just like the singer's mind.

But for that they have got a pill
The world has resorted to medicating people to numb their pain and escape reality.

If that don't kill you then the side effects will
The medications people take to cope with the chaos of the world can have dangerous side effects.

If we don't kill each other then the side effects will
The violence and harm that people inflict on each other in the chaos of the world can have negative consequences.

Cape Town I think we got a problem
Cape Town is a metaphor representing a world in chaos, just like the singer's mind.

If the darkest hour comes
If things get worse and more chaotic.

Before the light
Before things improve and become better.

Where is the light
Where is the hope and positivity in the midst of chaos and darkness.

Where is the light, yeah
The singer repeats the question, emphasizing the need for hope and positivity.

Child be still
The Virgin Mary again tells the singer to be calm and still in the midst of chaos and darkness.
