It's aboutinadequecy. I mean, if the only thing standing in the way of a better future is the fact that someone Does Not want to change that certain part of them that's keeping the other at bay,or upsetting them, or what they chooseto believe you can change about yourself..etc. Shit, you see he's staying around, but being driven away in the end by all the fucking complaints and, now you want to show me, how you hate the side of me i want. I'm not even your lover, and if that's it? I won't be. I want you. Goodbye. Maybe you expect too much, but I'm not about to say that |

I watched a home-made video on youtube with this version of the song, and it's animation similar to south park I suppose? anyway, there's a man with a black balloon for a head, and he's just standing standing standing on the same street corner, watching time pass at an incredible rate, watching people interests change from one thing to another, and then his big balloon starts to fly away.. but then the cops come and they grab the string ang pull him back down to the ground. but that doesn't stop him from doing the exact szame tihng over again, with gusto. And, of course, this time he gets higher. So they send a fire truck, and they get on the ladder, and they 'bop' his head back down, and tie it to his neck../ So, dih, it happens again. But you've used up all your resources and I'm so high, and i don't care about you and yours, in the clouds, My black ballon shines through, and you can't bring me down forever, it's not where I'm used to. and even if you do, and I cry for a while, my tears are going to dry up, and I'll be looking for the sky.. |

as far as I know, there's only one recorded performance of elliott playing this song solo. for a song about being alone, it makes all the more difference to hear him play it all alone. It's scary. And deafening, quiet. I sigh a lot listening to this song. You go through a lot of problems in any relationship; romantic, business or otherwise. I see two people, very familiar with eachother, working with eachother as a necesity. Everything's cold and nobody touches. And it's better this way, because, well, you just can't complain. It's music, but it's work. It's soul but, here we are, again, the two of us, each afraid of saying a word. just wanting to go home. sure, lonely turns me blue.. but it's a hell of a lot better than dealing with all the bullshit freaks in point B |
