this is such a great song. i think its about letting go of someone who you've tried and tried to save but have to let go of in the end because you finally realise that you can't change them.

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...
