Pink Turns Blue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But it's relief to me, too
Such an awakening
Freedom means death and standing alone
The great is fallen
Why putting your trust in the help of the Most High
Nothing can be changed except yourself
Loving yourself first of all
Outside all circles
I won't have your sacrifice, I will be alive
The aims of the actions
They do have a right in themselves
God is mercyful
Ignoble natures
Bread of affliction
Do control yourself
You should like to know that all
Why talk of forgiveness
I've done my duty
I've given her the last rites
My friend and my traitor
We can neither return nor depart
We did want too much
More than life could offer
I am but, it's nothing
The others will take care of themselves
Nonsense runs in my head
Affected by modern unbelief
Failures bound up inside me
Dead eyes staring into space
Weeping inside, outside
Coming to my limitations
The price's always too high
Does that forebode good or evil
Gorging myself with blood
I was the great whore
I was the great whore
The song "Identity House" by Pink Turns Blue appears to be a reflection on the nature of self-discovery, disillusionment, and the journey towards personal freedom. The singer appears to be grappling with the realization that true freedom requires standing alone and making difficult choices that are ultimately for the good of oneself. The phrase "freedom means death and standing alone" suggests that true freedom requires letting go of comfort and security and being willing to face the uncertainty of the unknown. The line "nothing can be changed except yourself" reminds us that we are ultimately responsible for the direction of our lives and that we must be willing to do the hard work of self-discovery if we want to grow and change.
The chorus of the song, "I won't have your sacrifice, I will be alive," seems to suggest a rejection of outside expectations and a determination to live life on one's own terms. The line "the others will take care of themselves" suggests a willingness to let go of external control and trust that others will find their own way. The final lines of the song, "I was the great whore, I was the great whore," seem to suggest a sense of self-acceptance that comes from owning all parts of oneself, even the uncomfortable or shameful aspects.
