Pink Motel
The Glorious Sons Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All this money's just paper baby
All these bills are just the same
In the end the only reason for this house
Is to keep dry from the rain
When all your problems are self-made
What you got to worry about
Dry your eyes, we've been spoiled rotten
It ain't hard to figure out

I got a key
To a pink motel
Let's get away from the speed
Let's get away from the sound
Baby we can leave
We can leave right now
I gotta key
To a pink motel

You're measuring us up against
Everything and everyone around
There's a voice telling you to be perfect and it's bringing us down
Just let yourself loose in my arms
You can trust my steady hands
Trust me, if we put love first, nothing can be broken

I got a key
To a pink motel
Let's get away from the speed
Let's get away from the sound
Baby we can leave
We can leave right now
I gotta key
To a pink motel

I can't help if you want more than love
I can't help you if this is not enough
I remember when we never needed anything at all
We'll still be here when all of this is gone
I'm so tired of proving you wrong
I remember we never needed anything at all

Yeah, don't wait for me to leave you baby
To tell me that I'm enough
I don't care about anything at all
Anything at all but you
Fuck the cars and the money
Fuck all the trappings and the lifestyle
Fuck the rain and fuck the expectations you put on everything
Don't wait for me to leave you baby
What do you care about my love?
I care about you
I care about you

I can't help if you want more than love
I can't help you if this is not enough
I remember when we never needed anything at all
We'll still be here when all of this is gone
I'm so tired of proving you wrong
I remember we never needed anything at all

Baby we can leave
We can leave right now




I got a key
To a pink motel

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Pink Motel" by The Glorious Sons explore themes of materialism, the pressures of society, and the importance of love and connection. The opening lines reflect on the transient nature of wealth and possessions, suggesting that money and bills are merely superficial and ultimately unimportant. The house mentioned in the lyrics is seen as a means of sheltering from the rain, symbolically representing the hardships and challenges of life.


The song then shifts its focus to the pressure of societal expectations. The "voice telling you to be perfect" is a representation of the constant comparison and judgment that people often face in their lives. However, the singer offers solace and refuge in their arms, urging their partner to let go of these expectations and find comfort and trust. The lyrics emphasize that love should be prioritized above all else, as it is the one thing that remains unbroken.


As the song progresses, the singer expresses frustration with their partner's desire for more than just love. They reminisce about a time when they didn't need anything else, when love alone was sufficient. The chorus repeats the assertion that they have a key to a pink motel, an escape from the fast pace and noise of the world, invoking a sense of freedom and a desire to leave everything behind.


Ultimately, the lyrics convey a sense of longing for a simpler, more authentic way of life and relationship, free from the pressures and distractions of society.
