| Pink – One Foot Wrong Lyrics | 15 years ago |

There are several layers to this song, open to many interpretations. I'll take a crack at it... In the first verse, she is becoming conscious after taking a hallucinagen. She is upset, and still a bit high. Putting one foot wrong means taking an action that would lead to death (weather deliberate or accidental), possibly taking more drugs to escape how she's feeling. About the color and madness that she can only see, it's the hallucinagen. Shs puts her money down to buy it, in hopes to escape from the feeling badly, knowing it's not entirely her fault, and that someone else has contributed to her feeling this way. She's in the dark because she has closed her eyes, shuting out external stimuli, and hoping a friend will show to guide her through this bad trip and sad emotion. Some freedom is the tiniest cell in town, well, a coffin is pretty tiny of a cell. A psych ward also has small cells. To escape strained emotions, freedom may be found in death, hence you'll have to love her when she's gone. Or perhaps to be committed to a facility, she won't be alone, and will have a fighting chance to get through how's she feeling. She doesn't want it to end this way, she wants someone to reach out to her, to help her feel good again. Well, that's my interpretation anyway, for what it's worth. |
