The Gods Are Smiling
Pink Turns Blue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want to keep it for the rest of my time
Despite the overwhelming price
The streets are full of insane
Let them learn or let them die
Dogs end up dogs
Each day's another damned thing
At the same time
That does it. Son.
I'll put you back in madhouse. Son.
One bad move and you're finished. Son. Son.
Wake up.
Don't stay where I'm not wanted
Don't stay where I'm disliked
I'm not going to eat your shit - Not I.
Don't want to feel ill cause I am in love
I need truth
Sweet meat for your vagina
Joe.
Save my ass.
Joe. Just save my ass.
Save my ass, Joe.
Strong man would give up
Just don't want to age badly
The lowest of breed
A lie.
A lie, Joe.
Joe, Joe.
I'll put you in your grave
I'll put you back in the madhouse
I deserve
To die alone
To stand it all. Ah.
To stand it all. Joe. Joe
A love comes hard. A love comes hard.
Stand it all. Stand it all.
This has meaning, this is God.
Whaling on. Joe.
Shooting mine into you, my love
O.K. I'll be careful
Sometimes it feels good but it never feels right
But now you're member of the club
Joe. Aha.
Each more intimate than the last
I wanna love. I wanna love. I wanna love.
See.
The lyrics to Pink Turns Blue's song "The Gods Are Smiling" are filled with intense emotion and pain, reflecting the struggles of a person who is grappling with a sense of isolation and rejection from society. The song begins with a sense of resignation and an overwhelming feeling of lost hope as the singer talks about what is left of their soul, wanting to keep it despite the price they have to pay. At the same time, the singer observes the insane people on the street and contemplates whether it's better for them to learn or die, making a poignant commentary on the harsh realities of the world we live in.
The lyrics take a dark turn as the singer talks about being hated and pitied by people at the same time, expressing a sense of deep frustration and confusion. At this point, the singer seems to be addressing someone, warning them not to stay where they're not wanted or disliked, refusing to subject themselves to unnecessary suffering. The mention of "Sweet meat for your vagina" seems to be a reference to prostitution, while the repeated plea to "Save my ass, Joe" suggests that the singer is seeking some kind of salvation or redemption from someone they trust. The song ends with the singer expressing a desire for love and intimacy and being willing to brave it all to find it, suggesting that despite the pain and rejection, there is still hope for connection and happiness.
