Cut
Pink Turns Blue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shall I grow my hair
Shall I go and buy a guitar
Would you stop and stare
If I told you that I slept around
Would you jump on top of me
And if I had that frown that cuts
Cut
You want the real thing
And if I never noticed you
When you walk into a room
And if I told you about other girls
Would you praise me then
If I never slept at night
And di the rock n roll thing
And I never said goodbye
Would you wish me sweetly dead
Cut
You want the real thing
So if I held you and I fucked you once
Would come back for more
And if I told you about a long break
Would you wait by the door
So if you saw this other guy
Who this he tried to be
You just stand there and look away
You want the real thing
The lyrics to Pink Turns Blue's song Cut in 2 are about the uncertainty in a relationship and the desire to know what the other person truly wants. The singer asks a series of questions, almost as if pleading for validation from the other person. They ask if they should change themselves and their appearance to be more attractive, if they should reveal their flaws such as sleeping around or having a frown that cuts, and if they should embrace the rock n roll lifestyle. The chorus repeats the phrase "cut" over and over again, driving home the theme of discomfort with the unknown.
The lyrics ultimately reveal the singer's fear of being rejected for not being the "real thing." They worry that even if they do change to meet the other person's expectations, it won't be enough to fulfill their desires. The last stanza indicates that the singer may have already acted on their feelings, specifically talking about holding and having sex with the other person, but they still don't know if it's what the other person truly wants.
Overall, the lyrics of Cut in 2 express a sense of vulnerability, a desire to be loved and desired, and the fear of rejection. It's a relatable theme that many people experience in their relationships, and the lyrics capture that feeling well.

At the moment you enter the area,
And if I told you about other girls
If I shared about my romantic experiences with other women,
Would you praise me then

If I was always awake during bedtime,
And did the rock n roll thing
And followed the epitome of a musician's lifestyle,
And I never said goodbye
And departed without a farewell,

A man who attempted to become someone he is not,
You just stand there and look away
You will ignore him and stay away from him,
You want the real thing
You are searching for authenticity and truthfulness in a person.
