Balance and Composure Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like gardens filled with mirrors,
Lay back eyes open wide,
Through allies we're disappearing,
Come close, stay far,
I'll be your tiny raindrop
I'll fall down now
Even if I could I would never let you know,
So come with me I'll buy you a raincoat
Stay with me I'm sick of the shameful,
Head up, I am lost and it's tangled
I need you on like garments.
Come at me horrid eyes
That seep into my system,
Push all intent on fire
The things we think we're missing,
'Cause it's all fine: a pillow and a blanket
Take your precious time, staring at the ceiling.
Even if I could I would never let you go,
So come with me I'll buy you a raincoat
Stay with me I'm sick of the shameful,
Head up, I am lost and it's tangled
I need you on like garments.
So come with me I'll buy you a raincoat
Stay with me I'm sick of the shameful,
Head up, I am lost and it's tangled
I need you on like garments.
The lyrics to Balance and Composure's song Tiny Raindrop speak of a desire to escape the burdens and anxieties of everyday life with the presence of a loved one. The line "I'll take you on a drive, like gardens filled with mirrors" suggests an immersive escape, while "lay back eyes open wide" implies a release of inhibitions. The following lines, "come close, stay far, I'll be your tiny raindrop / I'll fall down now / you left me feeling shameful" suggest a vulnerability and dependence on the other person, as well as a desire for forgiveness.
The chorus "Even if I could I would never let you go / so come with me I'll buy you a raincoat / stay with me I'm sick of the shameful" reinforces the desire for companionship and shelter from the insecurities that plague the singer. The lines "head up, I am lost and it's tangled / I need you on like garments" draw on the metaphor of clothing, suggesting that the person is a necessary part of the singer's identity.
The final lines "come at me horrid eyes / that seep into my system / push all intent on fire / the things we think we're missing" suggest a return to reality and the challenges that come with it, but the singer is still determined to face it with the other person by their side.
Line by Line Meaning
I'll take you on a drive,
I want to take you on a journey,
Like gardens filled with mirrors,
A magical place full of reflections and wonder,
Lay back eyes open wide,
Relax and take it all in with an open mind,
Through allies we're disappearing,
We will go down unknown paths and get lost together,
Come close, stay far,
Let's be together while giving each other space,
I'll be your tiny raindrop
I will be the small things in life that will make you happy,
I'll fall down now
I am willing to take risks and try new things,
You left me feeling shameful.
You hurt me and made me feel embarrassed and saddened,
Even if I could I would never let you know,
I won't reveal my true feelings for you,
So come with me I'll buy you a raincoat
Let me take care of you and protect you from life's storms,
Stay with me I'm sick of the shameful,
Don't leave me, I'm tired of feeling embarrassed and sad,
Head up, I am lost and it's tangled
I'm trying to stay positive, but life is confusing and uncertain,
I need you on like garments.
I rely on you to provide comfort and support like clothing does,
Come at me horrid eyes
Even if people judge me harshly, I won't back down,
That seep into my system,
Their negative opinions affect me deeply,
Push all intent on fire
Ignore their intentions and desires,
The things we think we're missing,
Sometimes we focus on what we lack instead of what we have,
'Cause it's all fine: a pillow and a blanket
All we really need are some basic comforts to be okay,
Take your precious time, staring at the ceiling.
Take a break and relax, even if it means doing nothing at all,

I'll take you on a drive
Like gardens filled with mirrors
Lay back, eyes open wide
Through alleys we're disappearing
Come close, stay far
I'll be your tiny raindrop
I'll fall down now
You left me feeling shameful
Even if I could, I would never let you know
So come with me, I'll buy you a raincoat
Stay with me, I'm sick of this shameful
Head of mine, I'm lost in its tangles
I need you on like garments
Come at me, horrid eyes
That seep into my system
Push all intent on fire
The things we think we're missing
Cause it's all fine
A pillow and a blanket
Take your precious time
Staring at the ceiling
Even if I could, I would never let you go
So come with me, I'll buy you a raincoat
Stay with me, I'm sick of this shameful
Head of mine, I'm lost in its tangles
I need you on like garments
So come with me, I'll buy you a raincoat
Stay with me, I'm sick of this shameful
Head of mine, I'm lost in its tangles
I need you on like garments

I feel like if MTV still played music videos bands like these would gain the recognition they deserve. The production quality both of the music and the video are top notch.

But no one buys records anymore soooo..
