Pink Turns Blue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
but still fond of my life
this is a symbol for taking up my cross I had such confidence in myself that day
This is art of war
I'll undoubtely be burned alive
failure makes things seem stupid
That is what I have come to
watch your heart being torn
I'm a scoundrel ain't I?
Sucking your life blood
you shall live eternally
In my heart
I say.
It was the wound to my pride that made me fall ill
I was upon the point of killing myself a time
I like to suffer that's my role
you say
I'm going to run away
I'm going to run away
On Catholic Sunday
Watching my heart being torn
yes I wanted your tears
Watching you all the night
I'm running home now
Your eyes will follow me to the end of earth
Among the ruins
engaged at seeing my own blood flow
I'm not able to control my mind
Have been getting too full of bile
as most people do their first love
Collection of false maxims and dull commonplace
time has come to unravel the know
A clean break
I thought you had died
Is there really to find such strength in your will to live that life
Despite your melancholic eyes
there's something wrong
inside
oh what a vile
On Catholic Sunday
The lyrics to Pink Turns Blue's "Catholic Sunday" are filled with complex emotions and themes of self-destruction and redemption. The first verse seems to express a willingness to sacrifice oneself, but still a love for life. The line "this is a symbol for taking up my cross I had such confidence in myself that day" suggests a reference to the Bible's account of Jesus carrying his cross to his own death. The song then delves into the idea of failure and its effects, with the line "failure makes things seem stupid". The theme of watching one's own heart being torn and the desire for tears from others appear throughout the song. The second verse turns more introspective, with the lines "I'm not able to control my mind, have been getting too full of bile" hinting at mental illness or anguish. The final line, "oh what a vile on Catholic Sunday", leaves much to interpretation, but may suggest a commentary on the hypocrisy or emptiness of religious ritual.
Overall, "Catholic Sunday" is a song that explores nuanced and sometimes dark emotions. The themes of sacrifice, self-destruction, and the pursuit of redemption are present throughout the lyrics. The song seems to be a meditation on the nature of human suffering, and the ways in which people try to cope with pain and emotional turmoil.
