Lyrics
Who's that, the one in pink
Reference to a person dressed in pink, unspecified gender
She's feeding fishes in her bathroom sink
Describing someone feeding fishes in an unconventional place, the bathroom sink
Or him, he's doused in black
Describing a person covered in black
Carries his troubles in a tattered rucksack
Depicting someone carrying their problems in a worn-out rucksack
Find one who's doing well
Suggesting to find someone successful, even though their life is challenging
Their day-to-day feels like a living hell
Highlighting the struggles in the daily life of the successful person
Occupied from dawn to dusk
Busy schedule from morning till night
Keeps dozing off while waiting for the bus
Indicating exhaustion while waiting for the bus
Cutting poppies brightened up my day
Expressing the positive impact of cutting poppies on the speaker's day
Hang them up and watch the colors fade
Suggesting hanging the cut poppies and observing the colors fade over time
Casting stones at our oldest dreams
Metaphorically throwing stones at long-held dreams
We try to smile but it goes unseen
Efforts to smile are unnoticed or unappreciated
Cutting poppies brightened up my day
Reiteration of the positive impact of cutting poppies
Hang them up and watch the colors fade
Repeating the idea of hanging poppies and observing color fading
Careless gestures taking up the screen for all to see
Describing careless gestures that are visible to everyone
A manic man, a three-piece suit
Depicting a person in a three-piece suit involved in questionable dealings
His jaw is heavy selling I-O-U's
Describing the burden carried by the person in a three-piece suit
Looking around, there's so much to admire
Observing admirable things in the surroundings
Come warm your hands, the world's on fire
Inviting someone to warm their hands in a world seemingly in chaos
Cutting poppies brightened up my day
Reiteration of the positive impact of cutting poppies
Hang them up and watch the colors fade
Repeating the idea of hanging poppies and observing color fading
Casting stones at our oldest dreams
Metaphorically throwing stones at long-held dreams
We try to smile but it goes unseen
Efforts to smile are unnoticed or unappreciated
Cutting poppies brightened up my day
Reiteration of the positive impact of cutting poppies
Hang them up and watch the colors fade
Repeating the idea of hanging poppies and observing color fading
Careless gestures taking up the screen for all to see
Describing careless gestures that are visible to everyone
Whittled wages, goodbye to surprise
Referring to reduced wages and the loss of pleasant surprises
Your favorite faces hung out to dry
Favorite faces left unsupported or abandoned
Oh I'm sorry, I must have missed it
Expressing regret for missing something important
They could have saved us but they wouldn't risk it
Suggesting missed opportunities to be saved
A manic man, who's doing well
Indicating that the successful person is also facing difficulties
He's dozing off from his living hell
Highlighting the exhaustion of the successful person in their challenging life
Oh I'm sorry, I must have missed it
Expressing regret for missing something important
They could have saved us but they wouldn't risk it
Suggesting missed opportunities to be saved
