The First
Pink Turns Blue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A nervous restless will to die
Runnung away from great world's call
I've been caged by an inside wall, inside wall
Sold myself to hypocritical ideals
Sold myself to great God currency
People say that is what's to do
The sun will darken and blackness will fall
Peace to your ashes taking blame for it all
Sinking deeper into the cave of time
A change is coming a change is coming and I am the first to go
Moments of anger, the hell of despair
Memorys of age, understanding fair
Dead wise men, the enemies of truth
Knowledge is made, to kill our youth
And we are the first to go
I'm killing your lies
"The First" by Pink Turns Blue is a song that explores themes of despair, loss, and rebellion. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who feels trapped and suffocated by the world around them, and who seeks to break free from the shackles of societal expectations and constraints. The references to the "cave of time" and the "inside wall" suggest a sense of being trapped within one's own mind or consciousness, unable to break free from the cycle of thoughts and emotions that torment them. The line "sold myself to hypocritical ideals" speaks to the idea of sacrificing one's own values and beliefs for the sake of fitting in or conforming to the status quo. The lyrics suggest a sense of frustration and anger with the world, with the singer feeling as though they have been let down by the people and institutions they once trusted.
