The Pink Life Lyrics

Cover art for The Pink Life lyrics by Mike Doughty

To me this is about a woman who can't make up her mind about what she wants. "I feel I'm getting killed by your fickleness." She goes back and forth between the red and the white and ends up with pink, something that's not as strong as either.

Too many choices can be a bad thing: the line about infinite options is immediately followed by a line about lost opportunities, like when you take so long to choose a direction that you end up standing still.
