Sadness
Pink Turns Blue Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I close my eyes and dream
To escape my lies
So that only beauty remains
Heavy to light

Bound to nothing
Desire to fall
Soothing or healing
Forgotten next day

No smile and no sadness

Just fading away

I've come to call you the meaning
Of my life
But hastened to the end
And full of bile

Unable to wake you
Didn't get what you meant
It's grown so ugly
Like a slower death

No smile and no sadness





Just fading away
