Broadcast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let the balloons go outside
Let the balloons go outside
I wait on the stairs for my thoughts to align
You are the sun in my mind
You are the sun in my mind
Clouds rock like a ship at sea
Sooth the waves of injury
Clouds rock like a ship at sea
Sooth the waves of injury
I wait on the stairs, there's a view in my mind
Objects of love in the sky
Objects of love in the sky
I wait on the stairs for my thoughts to be kind
What better view will I find
What better view will I find
Inflated with transparency
Float away my injury
Inflated with transparency
Float away my injury
Let the balloons go outside
Let the balloons go outside
I wait on the stairs for a break in my mind
Let the balloons go outside
Let the balloons go outside
Let the balloons go outside
The opening lines of Broadcast's song "Lunch Hour Pops" describe the singer waiting on the stairs, seemingly lost in their own thoughts. The balloons, which they release outside, represent a release of pent-up emotions or thoughts, and a desire to free themselves from negativity.
The line "You are the sun in my mind" could be interpreted as a statement directed towards a person who is seen as a beacon of positivity in the singer's life. This interpretation is reinforced by the next stanza, in which the clouds are described as rocking like a ship at sea, soothing the waves of injury. This could represent a healing experience, with the clouds providing comfort and positivity to the singer's injured or damaged psyche.
The next stanza suggests that the singer is attempting to find a more positive perspective, searching for objects of love in the sky and hoping for an improved mental state. The line "Inflated with transparency, float away my injury" implies that, much like releasing the balloons, the singer aims to release negative thoughts and emotions through a transparent and honest approach to their own psyche.
Overall, "Lunch Hour Pops" seems to be a meditation on the power of positive thinking, the potential for healing and growth, and the importance of actively seeking out positivity in one's life.
