Ocean references Majin Buu from Dragon Ball Z , a pink character capable of manipulating energy, to symbolize the superhuman strength and durability of femininity .
The lyrics contrast "grey matter" (the brain/logic) with "pink matter" (emotion/body), questioning whether humans are just physical vessels or something more.
In a literal sense, "pink matter" refers to the female form and sexual intimacy. Critics often view it as an ode to women , celebrating both their physical power and their minds.
The song is structured as an internal monologue or a dialogue with a "sensei" (a mentor or conscience).
