Desperate
Pink Turns Blue Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A sea of words
Without any weight
We're big bored cats
Smelling of urine

A single metaphor
Giving birth to love
Necessity is heavy
Heavy means value

Not lying not hiding
Not dissimulating
Have courage to play
To lose your privacy

You're so desperate to please

You're not like me
No resemblance to life
A hatred of beauty
You got me entranced

Weakness is goodness
Accomplished by violence
Like physical love
Accomplished by violence

I think it is time
You knew about it
I think it is time
You plucked up your courage

It's time you ceased
To be a little girl




You've always preferred
The unreal to the real

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Desperate," by Pink Turns Blue, express a sense of boredom and aimlessness experienced by human beings in a world filled with superficiality and insincerity. The first few lines of the song convey a sense of meaninglessness with the metaphorical phrase "sea of words without any weight." This is followed by an allusion to domesticated cats that have lost their wild instincts and have become bored and lazy creatures. The mention of the smell of urine is particularly evocative and could be interpreted as a reference to the decay and decay of our natural instincts in modern times.


The song seems to suggest that real love and value are difficult to find in a world dominated by artificiality and deception. The lyric, "a single metaphor giving birth to love," is an example of how we try to attach meaning and significance to things that have no inherent value. The song urges us to have the courage to be honest and vulnerable, even if it means losing our privacy. The idea of seeking approval from others is depicted as desperate and ultimately unsatisfying, and lyrics such as "you're so desperate to please" suggest that this desperation is a common experience.


The final lines of the song express a sense of urgency, calling upon us to take action and seize the moment. The call to "pluck up your courage" is a reminder that we need to be brave in order to find what is real and of value. The lyrics imply that true freedom and fulfillment can only be achieved once we move beyond the constraints of societal expectations and embrace the authentic aspects of ourselves.
