Devil
Pink Turns Blue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tend to be aggressive bout the stupidity of life
Cause I′m a sad old git – most of the time
Why can't I just go out and have a good time
I often feel so shitty while others have fun
I often cannot cheer up but can get drunk
Just let the devil be another good friend
Was hoping to change some thing by working hard
Was hoping to make a difference staging some art
A fight for beauty – just to make a change at all
To make this world a better place after all
I often feel so shitty while others have fun
I often cannot cheer up but can get drunk
Just let the devil be another good man
Just let the devil be another good friend
The Pink Turns Blue song "Devil" is an introspective and reflective piece about a person who is constantly wrestling with their anger and frustration towards the world around them. The lyrics suggest that the singer thinks of themselves as a "sad old git" who can't seem to let loose and have fun like others do. The song's opening lines set the tone for the rest of the piece, as the singer confesses to being angry all day and night and aggressive about the stupidity of life.
As the song progresses, we learn that the singer has been working hard to make a difference and stage some art as a means of fighting for beauty and trying to make the world a better place. Despite this, they still find themselves feeling down and unable to enjoy themselves like others do. The repeated refrain of "Just let the devil be another good man/Just let the devil be another good friend" suggests that the singer has come to terms with their darker urges and is trying to embrace them as a natural part of life.
Overall, the song can be read as a meditation on the struggle to find joy and meaning in a world that can often seem cruel and pointless. It suggests that there is perhaps no easy solution to these problems, but that acceptance and a willingness to embrace our own demons may be key to finding some measure of peace.
