Balance Problems Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Has entered through
The windows of your bedroom
And all the light
That warms your skin
Is ignored while you sleep in
And you sleep well
Thinking of a bad excuse
To wake you from recovery
Last night was a mystery
That you'll repeat
And I can't help but think
That this person next to me
Is not the same as when we both had gone to sleep
The drinks that filled your blood
Absorbed with pleasure as they flooded
Your remaining consciousness with memories
You seek to learn the truth
Or at least just something new
From everyone that's standing in the room
You cut your hair and learned a language
Got some culture, made some changes
I was left to try and keep up with
This change of scenery
Surprised you with hope and strength
To purposely forget your problems as you need
Ask yourself why am I alone
And you'll find out
That the faults your own
I was waiting here so patient all along
(You're) All dressed up without a place to go
But that's ok because I know
That you'll find a way to be
Anywhere (but home)
Ask yourself why am I alone
And you'll find out
That the faults your own
You're so cold
Now that you've left home
It reminds me of
Someone we both know
A person that you swore you'd not become
The song “Morning Sun” by Balance Problems talks about the aftermath of a night of drinking and partying. The first verse describes the morning after as the sun enters through the windows of the bedroom, warming the skin of the person sleeping, yet they remain oblivious to it. The lyrics suggest that the person has slept well, but the singer is struggling to come up with a reason to wake them up from their slumber. The second verse reveals the damage that has been done from the night before. The person lying next to the singer is no longer the same person they were the previous night. The alcohol consumed has caused them to forget, while it has injected new memories that they seek to learn the truth or something new from everyone in the room. The person cut their hair and learned a language, while the singer was left trying to keep up with the change of scenery that had surprised them with hope and strength.
In the chorus, the lyrics suggest that the person is feeling alone and is seeking a way to be anywhere but home. The second time the chorus repeats, it suggests that the faults are their own, and they are struggling with how to fix them. The bridge describes the person as cold now that they have left home, reminding the singer of someone they both knew, and the person they swore they would never be.
