Pinkly Smooth incorporate frantically-delivered lyrics about blood, resurrection and funerals into songs which take inspiration from sources such as circus music, Queen, and a bevy of classic metal bands. The result is a strange but compelling mixture of Danny Elfman-esque piano lines, screaming guitar lines and vocal acrobatics. Deranged, fun, progressive and slightly disturbing.
Pinkly Smooth have released one album, 2002's "Unfortunate Snort". The band was put on hiatus after a few live shows due to the success of Avenged Sevenfold & the desire to write a new album, but the band sadly never returned due to Jimmy’s passing on December 28th of 2009.
McFly
Pinkly Smooth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been back in time
And feeling ties are much to strong
And there's a wolf inside
And lately he's been shaking all night
And I wonder how they could have let you die
Well hold on strong and behold from the life you leave behind
This could be catastrophic, mind pollution
Why is this happening again?
I'm being ostracized
And I can't seem to calm you down
I'm still your father, child, whoa, whoa
And lately he's been shaking all night
And I wonder how he could've let you die
Well hold on strong and behold from the life you leave behind
This could be catastrophic, mind pollution
What you had was real to me, ooh
And, ooh, not again
This is not my memory
Taken from my friends
And lately he's been shaking all night
I wonder how he could've let you die
The lyrics to Pinkly Smooth's song "McFly" convey confusion, anger, and mourning. The song's protagonist has traveled back in time and is experiencing ties to a person who has died, possibly a loved one. They question why this is happening to them, and feel a sense of internal conflict represented by a "wolf inside" that shakes all night. The singer also references feeling ostracized and unable to calm someone down, possibly a child, and can't understand how they let someone die.
The chorus contains increasingly urgent and apocalyptic language, with references to "mind pollution" and a sense that what has been lost was real and significant. The closing lines of the song suggest that the singer may be experiencing a disjointed and altered memory, possibly as a result of time travel: "And, ooh, not again / This is not my memory / Taken from my friends."
Overall, the lyrics to "McFly" convey a strong sense of confusion and loss, with the singer struggling to reconcile the past with their present experience. The use of evocative imagery like the wolf and the references to mind pollution suggest a rich emotional landscape that is never fully explored but lingers in the background of the song.
