It's "the inevitable" which isn't necessarily positive or negative. It just is, it's real and honest.
I'm a pessimist so I think it's death, that's what I first thought when I heard it so I'm sticking with it. Although it could be a sentiment, the inevitability of no set thing. But I like to think it's death, I have no idea how a Pink Moon could relate to anything though. The name is so vague and doesn't really relate to anything (that I know of.)
