"Pink in the Night" is a melancholic meditation on the pain of loving someone who doesn't love you back. The protagonist's feelings are intense and unreciprocated, and the song captures the sadness and longing that come with unrequited love.
The song seems to be about unrequited love and the pain that comes with it. The protagonist of the song is alone in her room, basking in the pink glow of the night. She has been pining for someone, but it seems that person doesn't reciprocate her feelings. The lyrics "I've been blossoming alone over you" suggest that she's been growing and developing feelings for this person, but they don't offer anything in return.
The protagonist's heart is breaking, and she can hear it happening. She wonders if the person she loves can hear it too, but it seems unlikely. The rain in the pre-chorus symbolizes the protagonist's tears, each drop saying "I love you".
The chorus repeats these words and reinforces the idea that the protagonist loves this person deeply, but doesn't receive love in return.
In the second verse, the protagonist confesses that she could stare at the person's back all day, but she also admits that she didn't kiss them right. The protagonist wishes for another chance to try again, hoping for a different outcome.
