What is real for Pink isn’t real for her partner. This becomes reinforced by positive thinking of learning to love again and then her belief that they were meant to be together because of fate.Įven though he may not have understood or shared her feelings he is making a new commitment with her to figure this out, “learn to love again.” Meaning they once had this relationship on lockdown for both of them and they need to get back to where they once were. Claiming we aren’t broken we’re bent is an attempt to degrade the seriousness of the situation. She’s now starting to doubt her delusions and is seeking a reason to prove herself wrong. It’s been written in the scars on our hearts Unfortunately nothing has really been said and these are things that Pink has made up in her head because of the way she was feeling. It’s a catchy way to visually represent the untold.

Now you’ve been talking in your sleep, oh, oh Instead of treasuring what they have they instead become resentful claiming that they rarely spend time together anymore. It can be rather shocking to realize that you are not their only obligation and if you go out once a month you are lucky. So when all of this stuff fades away and a realistic era emerges the surprises are less powerful and less frequent. Some people don’t understand that this is a temporary state and some people expect to be courted for eternity but realistically no one has time to make every hour of everyday about another person. You find faults harder to accept and you begin to understand that you cannot keep giving this other person all of the attention you gave them in the courting process.

You realize that the person is or isn’t who you thought they were. Eventually the euphoria dies and the reality sets in. Unfortunately, the courtship phase of a relationship can last anywhere from 1 day to forever. They proceed into a blissful state of love where no one can do any wrong and they accept the other person in their entirety. Sometimes the courtship is successful and a spark ignites between two people. This can be followed up by special surprises, flowers, or acts of generosity where the person has clearly gone out of their way to accomplish. With every relationship there is what is referred to as the courtship which is where one person lets another person know that they are very interested in them. The song to Pink is about the desire to hold onto a relationship when it appears to be breaking down but the song doesn’t just tell her side of the story there is also another viewpoint on it.

Her quote fits typical characteristics of the needs of the average woman and serves as a perfect illustration to the severe differences in emotional needs of men and women. Pink made the following quote to spotify: “Sometimes can be like, ‘The way you passed me the butter this morning, I kinda feel like we’re going to be over in a month and we need to talk’ and he’s like, ‘I just passed you the f-ing butter, what are you talking about?’ and that’s how I felt the song should go, ‘We’re growing apart, you don’t spoon any more, like it’s all over’.” I am only doing this because that is what the song is referencing, all other relationships I leave to you.

I also realize that I am writing about a male/female relationship. I realize this translation is going to be highly offensive to women. When I listen to this song I can relate to pieces of it. This song to me sums up the fragile nature of relationships and the variances in the emotional demands of each person in the relationship.
