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.

Pink Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's one more thing I need to hide
Spinning circles everyday
Different shades of wrong and right
You can spend all your life inside your
Constant twisted fantasy
Say your words I'll say mine
I hope that one day it will set you free
Running far away from you
And you'll keep falling
Falling right here next to me
And I'll Keep running
Running far away from you
And you'll keep falling
Falling right here next to me
My sole is worn my legs are tired
I'm running out of self control
Till I crash into a red brick wall
You'll keep on calling out for more
You can tear me apart and hope for
Golden eggs to come from me
Say your words I'll say mine
I hope that one day it will set you free
So I'll Keep running
Running far away from you
And you'll keep falling
Falling right here next to me
And I'll Keep running
Running far away from you
And you'll keep falling
Falling right here next to me
Oooh keep on running
Oooh keep on running
Oooh keep on running
Oooh keep on running
Oooh keep on running
Oooh keep on running
Oooh keep on running
Oooh keep on running
Keep running
Running far away from you
And you'll keep falling
Falling right here next to me
And I'll Keep running
Running far away from you
And you'll keep falling
Falling right here next to me
And I'll Keep running
Running far away from you
And you'll keep falling
Falling right here next to me
And I'll Keep running
Running far away from you
And you'll keep falling
Falling right here next to me
In Pink's song Running, the lyrics describe the urgency of getting to someone the singer cares about. The phrase 'running red lights' is used as a metaphor for the lengths the singer is willing to go to be with the person they love. The repetition of the phrase 'running, running red lights' reinforces the idea of urgency and the need to be with the person.
The first stanza of the song compares the singer to a 'thundercloud ready to burst like Schrodinger'. The reference to Schrodinger is likely alluding to the famous physicist's thought experiment involving a cat in a box. The comparison is made to describe the singer's emotional state, as they are on the verge of breaking down. The next line 'I'm crying in the car' further emphasizes this idea. The phrase 'off the grid' could also be interpreted as the singer feeling disconnected from the world and only focused on their love interest.
The next stanza mentions 'Hans looking for Liesel', which could be a reference to the characters in the book 'The Book Thief'. This could be interpreted as the singer feeling like a character in a story where everything is going wrong. The line 'shoot this rabid canine' is likely an allusion to the phrase 'shoot the dog' which means to deal with a problem directly.
The next verse mentions a 'pink champagne Corvette', which could be a symbol of the luxurious and expensive lifestyle that the love interest lives. The line 'the light of my life is going out tonight' could be interpreted as the singer feeling like their love interest is slipping away from them. The repetition of 'California life is alright with me' could be interpreted as the singer trying to convince themselves that everything is okay despite their emotional state.
Overall, the lyrics of Running by Pink explore the emotions of intense love and the lengths someone is willing to go to be with their love interest. The use of metaphor and allusions help to deepen the emotional impact of the song.
