High And Wasted
Pink Turns Blue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Selling fun
Welcome leisure
Do I care sexless life
Don't want a girlfriend
Dressed and undressed
The easier it is
It's hard to believe
That someone's delighted
Though disoriented
I'm high and I'm wasted
Just on the train
Wherever it goes
I am just going
Stagger in late
Getting intense
Now I can deal with it
Dressed and undressed
The easier it is
The more I do like it
It's hard to believe
That someone's delighted
Though disoriented
I'm high and I'm wasted
The lyrics of Pink Turns Blue's song High And Wasted are open to interpretation, but some possible meanings can be inferred. The song seems to describe a person who engages in a hedonistic lifestyle, seeking pleasure and amusement without caring about long-term commitments or consequences. The person is depicted as stretching the truth, selling fun, and welcoming leisure, indicating a preference for escapism and distraction. The line "Do I care sexless life, don't want a girlfriend" suggests a detachment from emotional intimacy and a focus on physical pleasure. However, the person acknowledges being disoriented and high and wasted, indicating a state of confusion or disconnection.
The chorus of the song repeats the lines "I'm high and I'm wasted," emphasizing the person's state of mind as being altered or impaired. The second verse continues with the theme of aimless wandering and indulgence, as the person takes a train without a destination and staggers late, but feels able to deal with intensity. The line "It's hard to believe that someone's delighted" can be interpreted in different ways, either referring to the person feeling surprised that someone else is satisfied with their hedonistic lifestyle, or feeling that it's hard to sustain happiness or contentment in such a state of being.
Overall, the lyrics of High And Wasted convey a sense of nihilistic pleasure-seeking and alienation, but also hint at a potential for self-awareness or questioning of the value of such a lifestyle. The repetitive nature of the song, with its simple chord progression and minimalistic instrumentation, adds to the hypnotic and trance-like quality of the music, which may reflect the mindset of the person depicted in the lyrics.
