black balloon
the kills
elevator straight into my skull
the escalator rises as it falls
i swear our chant is crashing in my mind
you can hold on but I wouldn't waste your time
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, the weather had it's way with you
farewell my black balloon

discovered this band only last year. black balloon turned out to be my favorite in the album "midnight boom". watch out for them coz they will come up with a new album pretty soon, sometime april.
what does she mean by black balloon? people say that it's a euphemism for heroin. hmmm... somewhat absurd but a valid point of view. for me, the black balloon can be a person, a bad habit maybe, or even an idea or feeling that weighs us down. regardless what it stands for, the song is about coming to terms with reality, and finally saying goodbye. we all have our black balloons.
