Marcella
Pink Turns Blue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Loudly laughing insane
There's Marcella at the slot machine
Her face is coloured green
There's Marcella at the beach club
Dancing with her soul
There's Marcella far away
I'm stoned by the electric
The electric in your eyes
When the day is nearly ending
Your sun will come up and rise
She takes me like paper
Taken by the wind
She shows me long skyscrapers
She shows me how they sink
And the fanfare is blowing outside
A band is playing in my head
We heard the bad news on the radio
But our dreams are never never dead
I'm stoned by the electric
The electric in your eyes
When the day is nearly ending
Your sun will come up and rise
And I stand then up real hoping
Finally wishing for more
There's Marcella in my brain
She's standing naked, naked in my door.
I'm stoned by the electric
The electric in your eyes
When the day is nearly ending
Your sun will come up and rise
Come up and rise
Come up and rise
Come up and rise
Come up and rise
The lyrics of Pink Turns Blue's song "Marcella" invite interpretation and analysis. The song talks about Marcella, who appears at different places and in different situations, possibly suggesting a certain restlessness in her character. She is seen laughing insanely at a table, playing the slot machine with a green face, dancing at the beach club, and trying to be cool in a distant place. The singer seems to be entranced by Marcella, feeling stoned by the electric in her eyes, suggesting that she has a magnetic personality or perhaps that he feels electrified in her presence. They share a dreamy existence, where the fanfare is blowing outside, and they hear the bad news on the radio, yet they believe that their dreams are never dead.
The lyrics suggest a certain sense of freedom, although it is not clear whether it is Marcella's or the singer's. She takes him like paper and shows him long skyscrapers, possibly representing the endless possibilities presented by life, while the line "She shows me how they sink" could imply how fleeting these possibilities may be. The last verse suggests that Marcella might be a figment of the singer's imagination, with her standing "naked in my door," possibly representing his vulnerability and openness to the world, and hoping for more.
Overall, "Marcella" seems to be a song about living in the moment, enjoying the experiences life has to offer and accepting that some of them may be fleeting. It is a beautiful, dreamy song that captivates the listener from beginning to end.
