KILLS

- Black Balloon Lyrics

Elevator straight into my skull
The escalator rises as it falls
I swear our jet is crashing in my mind
You can hold on but I wouldn't waste your time

And farewell, my black balloon
Farewell, my black balloon

I've stood in a thousand street scenes
Just around the corner from you
On the edge of a dream that you have
Has anybody ever told you it's not coming true?

Farewell, my black balloon
Farewell, my black balloon
(The weather had it's way with you)
Farewell, my black balloon
(If the weather had it's way with you)
Farewell, my black balloon

Farewell, my black balloon
Farewell, my black balloon
(If the weather had it's way with you)

Farewell, my black balloon
(If the weather had it's way with you)
Farewell, my black balloon
(If the weather had it's way with you)

Farewell, my black balloon
(If the weather had it's way with you)
Farewell, my black balloon

What is the meaning behind Black Balloon lyrics?


When we try to interpret the meaning, the Kills have created a song called 'Black Balloon' which is full of metaphors such as a direct elevator to the subconscious and a falling airplane to show the chaos and death thoughts. The black balloon is a metaphor for something rare that can no longer be found or is lost, while the meteorological conditions represent the outer forces that are affecting someone's psyche, thus leading to a feeling of saying goodbye and accepting the changes that are inevitable. The lyrics of Black Balloon mainly convey feelings of despair, heartbreak, angst, reflection, and solitude. On the other hand, the song points to the need for loss, farewells and disillusionment. The song's lyrics express the themes of emotional turmoil and loss which could be hard for very young kids to understand without some form of parental guidance. That doesn't mean however that the song is vulgar, violent, or adult-oriented since there is absolutely no such content that would require a higher rating.
