| Pink – The One That Got Away Lyrics | 18 years ago |

Does the first verse remind anyone else of "Killing Me Softly"? I love this song. It's so different from all her others (not that the others are bad, just I like that she has lots of different styles) |

Heh, starmagic, I'd like to think that, too, but the lines "And as her body lay there she decided to stay there till darkness came to pull her away." Make it sound like she at least lost consciousness, and that does not usually end well when you're swimming. However, I don't think that she was TRYING to kill herself, because she only decided not to move while she was in the water. |

I was at a Missy Higgins concert a while ago, and she said she was asked a lot about this song and where it came from, and that, no, it's not from personal experience, it's just from her "sick, twisted mind". So yeah, there's that question answered. As to what it means, well, it's pretty obvious, isn't it? A literal reading is the little girl "merely ten years old" is having a pretty horrific time at home. We don't get specifics, but it's obviously got something to do with fights and alcohol. And basically she trots off to the nearest river in the middle of the night and decides to go for a swim i.e. drowns herself to escape it. Very sad song. It always makes my mum cry. |
