Balloon
Uncomfortable Revelations: Lizzy Farrall's 'Balloon' Discomforts & Self-Expression
Lyrics
I'm such an awkward mess
I feel socially awkward and uncomfortable.
All around me are swinging jaws
People around me seem judgmental or critical.
Is this something I've got to do?
Am I obligated to do something in this situation?
Everyone acting like we've got nothing to lose
Everyone is behaving recklessly as if there are no consequences.
pre-chorus
I'm just a floating balloon
I feel detached, like a floating balloon with no direction.
With no wind to carry me through to the next room
I lack the motivation or support to move forward.
chorus
I don't belong here
I don't feel like I fit in here.
Can we act as though that ain't so queer?
Can we pretend that I'm not out of place?
I don't even like this beer
I don't even enjoy the social aspects like drinking beer.
But I was told I've got to put myself out here
I'm pressured to expose myself to unfamiliar situations.
Are we speaking the same language?
I can't be the only one not having fun
Am I the only one not enjoying this?
So I'll force another drink
I'll consume more alcohol to cope with my overthinking.
In hopes it stops my over-thinking mind
Hoping it will silence my anxious thoughts.
pre-chorus
I'm just a floating balloon
Still feeling detached, like a balloon with no purpose.
With no wind to carry me through to the next room
Still lacking direction or motivation.
chorus
I don't belong here
I don't belong in this social setting.
Can we act as though that ain't so queer?
Let's act like it's not unusual for me to be here.
I don't even like this beer
I don't enjoy the social aspects like drinking beer.
But I was told I've got to put myself out here
I'm pressured to expose myself to unfamiliar situations.
Too many pretty faces
Every one craving for a one-night fling
Many attractive people seeking casual relationships.
I'm a hopeless romantic
I'm a romantic, seeking deeper connections.
Get attached way too easy
I become emotionally attached too easily.
I'm such a cry-baby
I'm emotionally sensitive and tend to cry easily.
Old mind in a young body
I have an old-fashioned mindset in a youthful body.
chorus
I don't belong here
I feel out of place in this social situation.
Can we act as though that ain't so queer?
Let's pretend that it's not strange for me to be here.
I don't even like this beer
I don't enjoy the social aspects like drinking beer.
But I was told I've got to put myself out here
I'm pressured to expose myself to unfamiliar situations.
Every one craving for a one-night fling
Many people here are seeking casual relationships.
