Pink Turns Blue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In his two hands
But I'm... I'm just talking
That's why... That is why
Why I got into the habit of babbling to myself
Am I... Am I?
I foresaw something like this
Thought of... serves me right
The poor little boy's quite beside himself
My life's no more
Than the life of a cockroach...
How I hate... what?
My ideas require it... for their fulfilment
I'm the follower... hesitating
And losing the thread
Is that the way... I could hide
My soul?
The lyrics of Pink Turns Blue's song "Eremite" depict the emotional turmoil of a person who feels insignificant in a world controlled by a few individuals. The first verse suggests the power dynamic between humans, where the destiny of the world lies in the hands of a few while the singer is reduced to mere babbling. The second verse paints a picture of despair by the use of stark imagery of a cockroach and the loss of identity. The singer's internal struggle is evident through the questions raised, for instance, "Am I?" which can be interpreted as a search for meaning amidst chaos. The lyrics also touch upon themes of isolation and the fear of losing oneself in the crowd.
The chorus of the song is particularly haunting, with the repetition of the phrase "hold me," which creates a sense of desperation and longing for comfort. The lyrics seem to convey a sense of hopelessness, as if the singer has given up on trying to understand the world around them. The use of the term "eremite," which means a hermit or a recluse, further emphasizes the isolation and solitary nature of the singer's existence.
