Beautiful Balloon Lyrics

There's a shooting star
Can you tell me how I'm supposed to screw this up?
Add my tremolo, likes to shine on yours and mine
All my emptiness is confined in metric rhyme
Make all your lies come true
I've been a liar too
Follow the things you need
Make your whole life complete
There's a puking girl
There's a puking girl trying to define herself
If spontaniously congealed into nothing
Idiot
You could have become you
There's a friend trapped in this dream too
It's like I said before, like in the notes you tore
Laying there on the floor
Untill you knock the door
What did you hope to find?
Leaving it all behind
Should I say goodnight to you?
Really I.. Tender feelfull sin
Tell me honestly, am I adorable?
In her beautiful balloon
She's got hands but she cannot reach the moon
Wish I was gay,
then I wouldn't have to play all her games
Get her started.
How could I not forget?

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song strikes me as being about insecurity and paranoia.

I think it's "Truly, really, I..." but after tender feelful sin I have no idea.
