A Moment Sometimes
Pink Turns Blue Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Endless time until tomorrow
I'm Only able to think of now
The future's made of too much sorrow
All my fears dash me to the ground
I don't mind to live in blue
Waiting for the next days due
Former times already gone
Forgot what I had done

A moment sometimes clears a day
A moment sometimes clears a sometimes
A moment sometimes clears a day
It clears a sometimes, clears a sometimes

There is nothing left to do
It seems I even lost my shadow

Have I kept a smile, from whom
A deathlike smile, oh I don't know

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Pink Turns Blue's song "A Moment Sometimes" capture a feeling of being stuck in a moment and unable to move forward. The singer is struggling with the weight of the future and being consumed by their fears. They are living in the present, but it is a blue existence. While waiting for the next day to arrive, they have already forgotten what they have accomplished before.

At some point, the turning point that clears their mind comes along. It is the moment in which everything becomes clear and, however brief, it brings light to their day. For a while, they are able to see everything in a positive light, and the burden on their shoulders seems lighter. Despite this moment, the singer seems to have lost touch with parts of themselves. They are unsure whether they still wear a genuine smile, or if it is just a facade. Perhaps they have been hiding their true feelings behind a mask, or maybe they have lost themselves entirely.

This song effectively captures the feelings of temporal distortion, anxiety, and confusion that many people experience at some point in their lives. It reminds us that sometimes, all it takes is a moment of clarity to steer us back on track.
