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.
Long way home
Pink Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let it roll off your tongue
Who do you love?
When it all falls down
Crying for help
But you don't pick up your phone
Probably drunk
And are your enemies real in your real life?
I could stay up with you, up with you, all night
I wanna know how you feel on the inside
We got a long way
We got a long way to go
You're what I want (you're what I want)
I'm in a desperate way
Filling my cup (filling my cup)
Pretend it's all okay
Watch me above (watch me above)
Flickering like a flame
One ain't enough (it's never enough)
I think I could stop, I could stop, don't you realize?
That all my demons and fears disappear now
When you stay up with me, up with me, all night
I wanna show you my scars in the daylight
We got a long way
We got a long way to go
And those heavy hours they move so slow
We got a long way
We got a long way to go
Laying there, shaking hard
Sweatin' bullets in the dark
Always say, it ends the same
You never try, you never change, do you?
Oh
We got a long way
We got a long way to go
When the feeling comes the pain dies slow
We got a long way
We got a long way to go
And those heavy hours they move so slow
We got a long way
We got a long way to go
Don't hold me down or tie me up
(We got a long way) we got
(We got a long way to go) we gotta go
We got a long way, (we got a long way)
We got a long way to to go (we got a long way)
(We got a long way)
We got a long way, we got a long way to go
Pink’s song “Long Way Home” talks about the challenges faced in a romantic relationship. In the first verse, she poses the question “who do you love?” to her partner, encouraging them to express their feelings. The chorus emphasizes the distance they still have to travel in their relationship, and the obstacles that must be overcome. The second verse reflects on personal demons and fears and how they dissipate when in the company of a loved one. She longs for the comfort and understanding of her partner as she reveals her scars during the daylight.
The song is raw in its delivery of the realities of relationships. It articulates the idea that love is not always tidy and uncomplicated. The lyrics express feelings of vulnerability and an urgency for deeper emotional connections. The emotional turmoil is further accentuated by the dramatic melody and Pink’s powerful vocals.

LYRICS
There's something in the way you roll your eyes
Takes me back to a better time
When I saw everything is good
But now you're the only thing that's good
Tryna stand up on my own two feet
This conversation ain't comin' easily
And darling, I know it's getting late
So what do you say we leave this place?
Walk me home in the dead of night
I can't be alone with all that's on my mind (mhm)
So say you'll stay with me tonight
'Cause there is so much wrong going on outside
There's something in the way I wanna cry
That makes me think we'll make it out alive
So come on and show me how we're good
I think that we could do some good, mhm
Walk me home in the dead of night
I can't be alone with all that's on my mind (mhm)
So say you'll stay with me tonight

There is so much wrong going on outside
