Balloons

(Thelma Oragbon)

"Balloons" is a whimsically dark song portraying a girl whose birthday turns into a lonely affair when no one shows up. The lyrics express her disappointment and longing for companionship, contrasting her inner turmoil with a facade of humor and resilience. Despite the absence of presents or loved ones, she clings to the symbolic comfort of balloons as a fleeting source of joy in an otherwise bleak moment. The song's playful yet melancholic tone captures the complexities of loneliness and the desperate search for happiness amid abandonment.

Going numb, feeling dumb heart beating like a drum
It's a quarter to two, not a sign of you

My soul needs a funeral (it died a little)
You're like the sun and I'm f-ing cold(more than a little)
Can't you see that I'm all alone(yeah just a little)
Where'd you run to, where'd you go
(It's like a riddle)

Just another pretty face in her pretty ugly phase
Pacing 'round distressed in this tight a-- dress
I don't want no presents i just want your presence
You're nowhere to be seen, happy birthday to me

If I can't have good things
At least let there be balloons (balloons)

If I can't have anything
At least let there be balloons (balloons)

Ha ha ha balloons
Ha ha ha balloons
Ha ha ha balloons, balloons

Is this a joke, gotta hope
that you play a cruel game
At the end of my rope
Wanna see me go insane

Boy my patience is wearing thin (it's wearing thin)
Made a heart with my little pills (my little pills)
Mascara tears, bubblegum wig (bubblegum)
blew me off like daffodils
(oh no)

Just another pretty face in her pretty ugly phase
Just a bit distressed in this tight a-- dress
Got no presents not even your presence
Without you there's no happy to my birthday

If I can't have good things
At least let there be balloons (balloons)

If I can't have anything
At least let there be balloons (balloons)

Ha ha ha balloons
Ha ha ha balloons
Ha ha ha balloons, balloons

Oh please for just one moment
I can't take more disappointment
It's all I've even been, it's all I've ever seen
This can't be happening again
Running out of candles for blowing
If I can't have anything, then...

If I can't have good things
At least let there be balloons (balloons)

If I can't have anything
At least let there be balloons (balloons)

Ha ha ha balloons
Ha ha ha balloons
Ha ha ha balloons, balloons

Please tell me why

By Howard Aronson

This lyric is a better relationship of deceit, of wonderment, of the u. Why they can never express their feelings and what can they do to open them up. What can they do to show how much they love that person What can they do to get them to talk, it's just the lyric about someone who just is so blocked behind a wall that they put up.
