Lust
Pink Turns Blue Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I have no mission but I have faith
I have no right to a mercyful death
Happiness is an endless repetition
Lunacy is a break with mankind

Having a name is
Having a soul, haven't you?
Aren't you a star

I try to remember when
You started hating me
I try to remember when
You were the window to my soul

Obliged to behave cause you needed me
The sheer horror of an oversized mate
Forgot the questions I dared to ask
It did distance us for the rest of our lives

Falling prey to illogical hopes
Happiness seems besmirched by lies
And though ideas turn out to be dangerous
We still continue on our beaten path

Overall Meaning

The song Lust by Pink Turns Blue is a poetic portrayal of the human condition through the lens of a failed relationship. The opening lyrics express a deep sense of disillusionment with life itself. The singer feels lost and without purpose, yet they still hold onto faith. Despite this, they realize that they don't have the right to an easy death, suggesting that they are burdened by their past mistakes.


The repetition of happiness in the second line suggests that it is an elusive concept that cannot be grasped, only chased after. The juxtaposition of happiness with lunacy emphasizes the irony of our search for fulfillment. The second verse explores the idea of identity and how having a name is linked to having a soul. The repetition of the phrase "aren't you a star" suggests that the singer is questioning the listener's sense of self-worth.


The third verse explores the pain of a relationship gone wrong. The singer expresses confusion and sadness over the loss of their partner's love. The line "the sheer horror of an oversized mate" suggests that the partner was either too demanding or too overpowering for the singer to deal with. The final verse explores how we cling to the familiar, even when it is harmful to us. The line "though ideas turn out to be dangerous, we still continue on our beaten path" suggests that we are willing to risk everything to stay in our comfort zone.
