Hopscotch
Pinc Louds Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Jesus moaned
This town's in flames
I got my baby in my arms tonight
Howling at your twirls
Like the world's still bright and blue
Our dream came true

Rip my tongue right out
I keep having revelations
That the station's gonna drown
And it's hell
Just watch me yell
From the bottom of the well

We want it to be over
My love, my light is colder
Let's both be swans
It won't be long

I can see 'em slipping underwater
Wear my pearls all the way to the slaughter
I can see 'em slipping underwater
Lead me by the hand, lead me by the hand, lead me by the...

Oh, my heart
It's jumping rope, it's gone insane
(I can see 'em slipping underwater)
It plays hopscotch too
Lit blue up on a swing (I can see 'em slipping underwater)

And I say lead me by the hand, lead me by the hand, lead me by the...
(Ooh, rest its soul)
Lead me by the hand, lead me by the hand, lead me by the...
(Ooh, rest its soul)

At last, I found
The light was hiding in the shade
(Ooh, rest its soul)
And since I found the expiration date
I skipped a step and know that I've been saved
(Ooh, rest its soul)

So let's take this big brown house
Fill it up with pictures till a twister comes 'round
Nothing makes you free like giving up

Look it's flying! It's flying!
Watch out for those planes!
They ain't playin'!
Wailing out my woes
So everybody knows

The sun is bouncing on the asphalt three, one, two
Shuffle, heel step, like I taught you how to do
Kiss my face like the end is nigh
I don't wanna know, I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go...

The lightning and the cinders
The ice cream on your fingers
Caress me till it's over
Caress me till it's over (and we will drown!)
It won't be long





Go get em' boy!
So go get em' boy!

Overall Meaning

The song "Hopscotch" by Pinc Louds is a surreal and emotional experience, with the lyrics exploring themes like love, despair, and the inevitability of life. The verses speak of the end of the world, with a sense of resignation that suggests that the characters in the song have accepted their fate. The line "Jesus moaned, This town's in flames" seems to be a reference to the biblical idea of the end of days, while "Rip my tongue right out, I keep having revelations" could be seen as a self-destructive impulse. The chorus ("Lead me by the hand") is a plea for comfort and companionship, a desire to be with someone until the end.


The song uses vivid images and metaphors to express its themes. The line "Our dream came true" is contrasted with the apocalyptic imagery and serves to emphasize the idea that the characters have reached their end goal. The metaphor of slipping underwater suggests drowning, while "jumping rope" and "playing hopscotch" are images of childhood innocence and nostalgia. These contrasting images highlight the tension between hope and despair that runs through the song.


Overall, "Hopscotch" is a deeply moving and thought-provoking song that presents a unique take on themes that are universal and timeless.
