Pinky
Women Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That won't slumber
They're useless now
A dormant hanger
And a lying mouth
At astonish
Magnesium scars
I found myself awake and walking
The two of you arrive
Backs turned to the spitting
But they have not a dream
No one was there
Look towards the face
Becoming very clear
The lyrics of the Women's song Pinky are quite abstract and difficult to interpret. However, on closer inspection, one can see that they talk about warplanes that are now dormant and useless, as well as magnesium scars that are reproducing themselves. The singer then talks about being awake and walking, and encountering two other people, whose backs are turned. However, he or she implies that these people are not dreaming and that no one else is there. Finally, the singer sees a face becoming very clear.
It seems that the song is about the aftermath of a conflict or violent event, where warplanes and magnesium scars serve as metaphors for the destruction wrought by violence. The singer seems to be walking through an empty or abandoned space, encountering other people who are similarly disoriented or traumatized. The image of a face becoming clear could represent a moment of realization or clarity in the midst of chaos and confusion.
In terms of interesting facts about the song, Pinky is actually the closing track on Women's self-titled debut album from 2008. The band was formed in Calgary, Canada, in 2007, and consisted of four members, including two brothers. Their music was characterized by its abrasive and experimental sound, which drew on a variety of genres, including post-punk, noise rock, and shoegaze.
Line by Line Meaning
Five war planes
Five powerful, unstoppable forces
That won't slumber
Which cannot be put to rest, even in times of peace
They're useless now
Despite their strength, they are rendered impotent
A dormant hanger
Left to rust and decay, neglected and forgotten
And a lying mouth
A deceitful person, who cannot be trusted
At astonish
Surprise and shock, caused by their dishonesty
Magnesium scars
The lasting damage inflicted by their lies
Reproduce it
Continuing to spread their harmful actions and words
I found myself awake and walking
The realization of the situation, and the need to take action
The two of you arrive
Others come to join in the fight against the deceivers
Backs turned to the spitting
Unfazed by the venom and insults being hurled their way
But they have not a dream
The deceivers have no real purpose or goal in life
No one was there
The deceivers are left to their own devices, with no support
Look towards the face
Confronting the deceivers, face-to-face
Becoming very clear
The truth behind their lies is revealed, and justice is served

Christopher Reimer is a legend in my opinion. Women was a good band in general, as well as Viet Cong.
