An Analysis of Raise Your Glass Lyrics by Pink

The "Raise Your Glass" lyrics by Pink are not just about female empowerment (which seems to be the recurring theme these days) but are about individual empowerment. The song makes this clear, with such powerhouse lyrics as "So raise your glass if you are wrong, In all the right ways." Yes, this is a song dedicated to the underdogs of society.

Pink assures her following ("All my underdogs, we will never be, never be

Anything but loud") that though they may never fit into society, they still have the right to be heard. The Raise Your Glass lyrics are not merely a chorus line but a call to action, asking the outcasts of the world to unite. The strong image of Pink in Rosie the Riveter clothing appears throughout the music video, and when seen in connection with lyrics like "Won't you come on, and come on, and, Raise your glass" does make for an inspirational experience.

Of course, Pink didn't exactly make a name for herself by being just an activist. She's also a bit of a wild child and a re-belle, and this explains the R-rated language in the most popular version of the song. (There is also a clean version that dispenses with the language) The video is actually edgier than the song, since it shows various disturbing and or politically charged images. Not only do you see a calf feeding on women's breast milk, but you also see Pink going to bed with various religious figures, who apparently represent the close-minded majority. There are also depictions of legalized gay marriage, a cause Pink is outspoken about.

Then again, there are also scenes of absurdity spread throughout the song, such as Pink battling a sumo wrestler and dancing with a nerdy fellow at the school prom. Though this could be interpreted as a heavy-handed message video (and a liberal-slanted one as well) the actual song and the Raise Your Glass lyrics, are all about partying, acceptance and how cool outcasts really are.

In the end, the video and the song are all about positivity (though they're sure to offend some conservative doo woppers). Musically speaking, the song is not merely a fun distraction, but easily an anthemesque hit for this generation's underdogs. Instead of fighting for the right to party, Pink is asking her fans to fight for the right to be different (and party while you're at it). Why not download the song and read the Raise Your Glass lyrics right now? This is one of Pink's most memorable performances!
