There is more than one artist with this name:
1) Pink was a late 1980s new wave band from Japan. Members included Yutaka Fukuoka (vocals/guitar), Hajime Okano (vocals/bass), Atsunobu Yakabe (vocals/drums), Hoppy Kamiyama (vocal/keyboards), Steve Eto (vocals/percussion), and Hidehiro Shibuya (vocals/guitars) Osamu Sakasai (vocals/guitars).
2) Pink was an alias of Manfred Linzner, a computer game music composer/demoscene artist & co-creator of the AHX tracker format.
1.) The band Pink formed as a collaboration between ビブラトーンズ (Vibratones) member Yutaka Fukuoka and Hero member Hoppy Kamiyama. The two were joined by Hajime Okano, Kamiyama's fellow bandmember in the rock group ショコラータ (Gun Blast). Atsunobu Yakabe, Osamu Skasai, and percussionist and former model Steve Eto rounded out the lineup.
The group released the singles 砂の雫 (Drops of Sand) and プライベートストーリー (Private Story) in 1984. Pink self-produced their first self-titled album, PINK, May 25, 1985 under their "MOON Records" label.
The band went on to release 光の子 (Child of Light) in February 1986 and two more albums, PSYCHO-DELICIOUS and CYBER in 1987.
At this point, the growing popularity of Pink caught the attention of major record labels. Hoppy Kamiyama would land a two-album deal with Toshiba EMI. The deal would end badly for Kamiyama after production of his critically acclaimed work was cut due to low sales. He would then go on to form his own labels, God Mountain (named for the English translation of his Japanese surname) and God Ocean.
It was the British record label, RIME that produced PSYCHO-DELICIOUS. The English-language single, 英語版 (Soul Flight) was also released under RIME.
Sony Epic produced the 1987 album Daydream Tracks.
The band returned to independent production in 1988 for Final Mix. In 1989, Osamu Sakasai took over on guitars for Red & Blue.
Each member of the band was an established musician in their own right and they continued to work on solo projects while involved with Pink. Finally, Steve Eto left the band in 1988 to pursue his own interests, leading to the eventual collapse of Pink and the end of production of new material.
Pink continues to tour today with lineups consisting of varying members of the original group as well as support artists. In March 2002, they released a greatest hits compilation The Best of Pink.
Former members of Pink pursue solo careers and have since joined groups such as Halo, Quadraphonics, Rael, Flesh, Pugs, ONTJ, and マダムピラニア (Madame Piranha). Kamiyama continues to run God Mountain and God Ocean.
2.) Germany-based Manfred Linzner writes music mainly for handheld consoles. He worked in-house at Vicarious Visions.
His work has appeared on such games as the 2000 PC version of Tomb Raider and Spider-Man, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3, and the Iridion series of games. His firm Shin'en provides audio outsourcing services for Nintendo WiiWare and Nintendo DS games. They also offer freelance music services for web sites and developers.
Linzner has cited Vince DiCola, composer of the 1986 Transformers The Movie soundtrack, as one of his influences.
Linzner has been known to work under the handle Pink.
Delirium
Pink Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But the two of them have never met
She's already got his name tattooed
In a heart across her chest
With his pictures plastered on her wall
But he has never called
And even all her friends they say:
'You're living in delirium'
Da da da, Da da da, Da da da, Da da da, Da da da
Babe, you live in deliri
Da da da, Da da da, Da da da, Da da da, Da da
Secretly she's stalking him on the streets
Making sure she's one step behind
They even went to the movies together
Or at least they stood in the same line
She tells everyone he sends her flowers
And love letters he sends her too
And they talk on the phone for hours
It's obvious she's come on blue
Da da da, Da da da, Da da da, Da da da, Da da da
Babe, you live in deliri
Da da da, Da da da, Da da da, Da da da, Da da da
Babe, you're livin' in delirium
Da da da, Da da da, Da da da, Da da da, Da da da
Every night you find her all alone
Fantasising about the brand new home
And she's waiting for the bells the ring a ding-a-ling
Oh, God, she's lost her mind
And her friends tell her all the time
That it's make-believe
This guy she sees it's her disease
She's living in delirium
She's so happy that she found someone
But she's still living in delirium
She's so happy that she found someone
But she's still living in delirium
Da da da, Da da da, Da da da, Da da da, Da da da
Babe, you're livin' in delirium
Da da da, Da da da, Da da da, Da da da, Da da da
Babe, you're livin' in delirium
(She's so happy that she found someone
But she's still living in delirium)
Da da da, Da da da, Da da da, Da da da, Da da da
Babe, you're livin' in delirium
Da da da, Da da da, Da da da, Da da da, Da da da
Babe, you're livin' in delirium
(She's so happy that she found someone
But she's still living in delirium)
Da da da, Da da da, Da da da, Da da da, Da da da
Babe, you're livin' in delirium
Da da da, Da da da, Da da da, Da da da, Da da da
Babe, you're livin' in delirium
Da da da, Da da da, Da da da, Da da da, Da da da
Babe, you're livin' in delirium
Pink's song Delirium tells the story of a woman who believes she has a new boyfriend, but they have never met. She has tattooed his name on her chest and has pictures of him plastered on her wall. Despite never receiving a call from him, she tells everyone that he sends her flowers and love letters, and that they talk on the phone for hours. She even stalks him on the streets, making sure she is one step behind. Her friends try to tell her that she is living in delirium and that this guy she sees is just her disease.
The lyrics suggest that the woman is living in a fantasy world, in which she has created a relationship with someone who does not exist. She is so deep in her delusions that she is waiting for the bells to ring a ding-a-ling, fantasizing about the brand new home they will have together. The repetition of the da da da's in the chorus emphasizes the idea that the woman is lost in her own delirium, unable to see reality.
Overall, the song delves into the topic of mental health, specifically delusions and how they can take control of a person's life. It highlights the importance of seeking help and acknowledging the reality of the situation.

So she thinks she's got a new boyfriend

But the two of them have never met
However, they have never actually met in person
She's already got his name tattooed
She has permanently inked his name on her body
In a heart across her chest
The tattoo is in the shape of a heart and is located on her chest
With his pictures plastered on her wall
She has adorned her wall with images of him
But he has never called
However, he has never reached out to her
And even all her friends they say:
Her friends have expressed to her
'You're living in delirium'
that she is living in a state of delusional fantasy
Secretly she's stalking him on the streets
She is secretly following him on the streets
Making sure she's one step behind
Attempting to go unnoticed while also keeping a close watch
They even went to the movies together
She has been imagining that they have gone to the movies together
Or at least they stood in the same line
However, the closest they have come to being together is standing next to each other in a queue

And love letters he sends her too
She claims to receive love letters from him as well
And they talk on the phone for hours
She spends hours on the phone with him in her fantasy
It's obvious she's come on blue
It is clear that she is in a state of sadness or depression
Every night you find her all alone
It is common to find her alone every night
Fantasising about the brand new home
She daydreams about living in a new home with her imaginary partner
And she's waiting for the bells the ring a ding-a-ling
She is eagerly anticipating their imaginary wedding
Oh, God, she's lost her mind
Her behavior has become irrational and extreme
And her friends tell her all the time
Her friends repeatedly remind her
That it's make-believe
That her entire relationship is a fantasy
This guy she sees it's her disease
The imaginary relationship has become a psychological ailment for her
She's living in delirium
She is living in a state of mental disturbance and confusion
She's so happy that she found someone
Despite everything, she is happy to have found a partner in her imagination
But she's still living in delirium
However, she is still living in her delusional state of mind
Babe, you're living in delirium
Repeating the message that the person is living in an unreal, fanciful state
