Eventually
P!nk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I knock so softly.
Sometimes I get loud
When I wish everybody'd just get off me.
So many players you'd think I was a ball game.
It's every man for himself.
There are no teammates.
When everybody wants something.
They'll smile up in your face,
But they'll get theirs eventually,
And I hope I'm there.
Surrounded by familiar faces with no names.
None of them know me
Or want to share my pain.
They only wish to bask in my light
Then fade away.
To win my love,
To them a game,
To watch me live my life in vain.
When all is done
And the good fades away
They'll get theirs eventually,
And I hope I'm there.
I drank your poison,
Cause you told me it's wine.
Shame on you if you fooled me once.
Shame on me if you fooled me once.
Shame on me if you fooled me twice.
I didn't know the price.
You'll get yours eventually.
So what good am I to you
If I can't be broken.
You'll get yours, yes,
You'll get yours eventually.
P!nk's song Eventually is a reflection on the entertainment industry and how she has been treated by people within it. She presents herself as an opportunity that knocks softly, suggesting that although she is available, she should not be taken advantage of. The use of the metaphor that compares her to a ball game means that she feels as though everyone is competing against each other and that there are no true teammates.
The lyrics also explore the loneliness that comes when everyone wants something from you, but no one truly knows you or wants to share your pain. The idea that people only wish to bask in her light and then fade away highlights the superficiality of this industry. She plays with the idea of winning her love as a game, which highlights the lack of sincerity and genuine interest she has seen from others. She is aware that eventually, everyone will get what they want, and she hopes to be there to see it, suggesting a sense of satisfaction in the idea of karma.
The chorus of the song highlights the idea of everyone getting what they deserve eventually, and she hopes to be there to witness it. The final verse speaks of the poisonous nature of some people, and how she has been fooled in the past, but she has learned her lesson. The repetition of “shame on me if you fooled me twice” shows that she accepts responsibility for her actions but understands that others are also to blame. The final line, “you’ll get yours eventually,” shows that although she has learned from her past experiences, she still believes in the idea of karma.
