Dave's Music Club... Black Ballooon

[broadwaydave]

I'm pretty sure all of you have heard this song. To me, probably one of the top ten most melancholy, sad songs I've heard, but the problem is... I have no idea what it means.

So... you tell me. What does it mean?

Baby's black balloon makes her fly... I almost fell into that hole in your life
And you're not thinking 'bout tomorrow, Cuz you were the same as me
But on your knees

A thousand other boys could never reach you, How could I have been the one?
I saw the world spin beneath you and scatter like ice from the spoon that was your womb

Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
Or are you someone's prayer?

You know the lies they always told you and the love you never knew
What's the things they never showed you, that swallow the light from the sun inside your room, yeah

Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
Always someone there

And there's no time left for losin'
When you stand they fall, yeah

Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
All because I'm
Comin' down the years turn over
And angels fall without you there
And I'll go on and I'll bring you home and
All because I'm
All because I'm
And I'll become
What you became to me

Ante up... what does it mean?
