Pink Turns Blue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sending up a prayer
To the Gods who watch
Why I'm still alive
Shouldn't have laid all
Shit on you
Settled into
What kind of shit am I?
I never felt right
I never felt right being alone
What have I done
Left to bleed and die
That's the way it is, tonight
Cry. Cry. Cry.
Kissing me back like
A lonely woman, it's alright
Oh what have I done
Maybe there was something
How does one break into
This game?
Call me now
Hey, you
Call me tonight
Hey, you
Why should I?
In the end it hardly matters
We end up lonely, insane
It proves that we have survived
A good sense of its own worth
Say. Say. Say. Say.
Genuine.
The song "Genuine" by Pink Turns Blue is a melancholic reflection on one's own actions and their consequences in relationships. The lyrics are introspective and express regret for having burdened someone else with one's own problems, causing pain and discomfort to them. The singer seems to be in a state of confusion, questioning their own nature and wondering if they are capable of being genuine in their interactions with others. The song also touches upon the idea of loneliness and how it can make one feel disconnected from the world around them.
The line "sending up a prayer to the Gods who watch, why I'm still alive" suggests that the singer might have been through some kind of traumatic experience, leading to a heightened awareness of the fragility of life. The following line "shouldn't have laid all shit on you" is an admission of having taken one's own problems out on someone else, and regretting it. The repetition of "cry" towards the end of the song suggests a release of emotions and a desire to express sadness and remorse.
The song is musically carried by a slow, melancholic melody that matches the introspective tone of the lyrics. The lyrics build up to the word "genuine" which is repeated multiple times towards the end of the song, suggesting a longing for genuine connections with others.

I always have to laugh when the singer makes strange noises from 3:33 on.
Next to Aerdt and Andy my favourite song. But all songs from Aerdt are great.
I found a song called "Dec. 24", it's not part of the official album, but it could fit there perfectly. Great atmosphere.
