I really can't see this song being more perfect, at least lyrically. That's how I appreciate and look at songs though, through their lyrics. The lyrics perfectly describe telling someone not to wait anymore, telling someone that you and they are over; that's just my guess.
To me its about finally letting go of a life long dream. In this case its Alison Mosshart's dream to be a "rockstar" and she has tried and tried a thousand "street scenes" but "has anyone ever told you its not coming true?" farewell my black balloon is the thought of her dream dying and saying goodbye to it...
