shout
Pink Turns Blue Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gonna blow my brain
Just pure noise for the hell of it, so beautiful
So how far may I go
To come across like a star
As ugly as you want
I'm going to be gone
Get stoned everyday
I can't change the world
So let it take careof itself
It's always gone over my head
From one extreme to the other
Another of my smiles
Just look out for the mines
Dance the dance of the dead
There's a time and there's a place
It's me going nowhere
It'S me all over the place

So shout, shout some more
Do it just for me





Shout, shout, shout
Do it just for me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Pink Turns Blue’s song “Shout” explore the themes of rebellion, nonconformity, and nihilism. The first few lines of the song suggest that the singer is seeking to escape from the mundaneness of life by indulging in drugs and loud music. The lyrics “Gonna blow my brain/just pure noise for the hell of it, so beautiful” can be seen as a sort of rebellion against the societal norms that dictate what is considered acceptable behavior. The singer is rejecting the idea that life needs to have a purpose or meaning and instead wants to experience something that is “so beautiful” in its own right.


The lyrics also seem to suggest that the singer feels a sense of detachment from the world around them. The lines “I can’t change the world/so let it take care of itself/it’s always gone over my head” suggest that the singer has given up on trying to make a difference and instead wants to live their life on their own terms. Despite this sense of detachment, the singer still desires recognition – “how far may I go/to come across like a star” – which suggests that they are still seeking validation and acceptance from others, even as they reject societal norms.


Overall, the lyrics of “Shout” are a raw and emotional exploration of the desire to break free from societal expectations and experience something that is truly authentic.
