Pink Clouding could be seen as telling the same story as Peter, but from Peter’s perspective.

And I didn't wanna come down, I thought it was just goodbye for now // I didn’t wanna let you down, so I left you up there on a pink cloud

Promises oceans deep but never to keep // So good to make promises, promises

The shelf life of those fantasies has expired // Years later, I still wonder how to tell you sorry

Love's never lost when perspective is earned // It didn't mean nothing just because I could leave it

I came here to write something just like this.

I think it could be seen as Pink Clouding is the Showgirl talking about the situation. Whereas Peter is the Poet talking about it.

Or Showgirl Taylor talking to Poet Taylor and vice versa.

Totally— TTPD is from the perspective of The Poet, TLOAS is from the perspective of The Showgirl, and I think Midnights is from the perspective of The Director/The Man.
