Lyrics
Light creeping under the doorway
There's a faint light coming in from under the closed door
I'm the last one awake on this block of the city
I'm the only one awake in this neighborhood or area of the city
It's all crickets and streetlights
It's quiet with only the sounds of crickets and streetlights
Louder than the words in my head
The noise around me is louder than my inner thoughts or worries
The fist fights on the tip of my tongue
There's a strong urge to engage in conflicts or arguments
Breaking the silence
Interrupting the silence
Uneasy peace, yeah it borders on violence
There's an uneasy calmness that could escalate into violence
But wait, hold it, shut it down
Pause and stop the situation
Smoking balloons
Using drugs or substances (metaphorically or literally)
Alone in my room
Being by myself in my room
Leave the lights on
Keep the lights on, possibly awaiting someone's arrival
I'll see you soon
Expecting to meet someone soon
I hear you at night
Hearing someone calling me, drawing me back to them
Calling me back to you
Unable to stop thinking about someone
Can't get you out of my mind
Despite feeling euphoric ("riding high on balloons"), thoughts of someone persist
While I'm riding high on balloons
Feeling confined or stuck in certain situations or mindsets
I've been trapped up in these hallways
Feeling lost and directionless in life
I've been lost in myself what can I say
Imitating someone else and failing
Emulate and try to be you
Being in disarray when attempting to be like someone else
I'm a mess every time I try to see you
Using drugs or substances alone in my room
Smoking balloons
Repetition of substance use and isolation
Alone in my room
Reiterating waiting with the lights on for someone's arrival
Leave the lights on
Anticipating meeting someone soon
I'll see you soon
Being alone in a room, repeating substance use
Alone in my room
Continuing to be isolated while using substances
Smoking balloons
Repeatedly using drugs or substances alone
Leave the lights on
Waiting for someone with the lights on
I'll see you soon
Expecting to see someone soon, possibly while using substances
You should care 'bout
Asking someone to care about the consequences of their actions
What we do
Reflecting on the negative impact caused by someone
All the shit that
Everything the person has put the speaker through
You put me through
Urging others to make way for the speaker
Now when you see me running move
Move out of the speaker's path when they're determined or assertive
Get out the way of my big balloon
Metaphorical reference to the speaker's determination and strength
I see you there running your mind
Observing someone in a cautious manner
Best not get on my bad side
Warning someone not to provoke or upset the speaker
If I need to clear my mind
To clear one's thoughts or head, the speaker uses substances
I smoke balloon smoke balloon
Repeatedly using drugs or substances to clear the mind
Smoking balloons
Reiteration of using drugs or substances alone
Alone in my room
Continuing the pattern of isolation while using substances
Leave the lights on
Leaving the lights on, expecting someone's arrival
I'll see you soon
Anticipation of meeting someone soon
