Jasmine
Dizzy Balloon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wake up,
You're seventeen, open your eyes
It's about time, you make up your mind
Me, oh I'm doing just fine
Well, lady maybe I don't know how you're feeling
ow you're dealing with emotion
From the starlight down into the ocean
D-d-d-deep into the depths of the sea

Singing lady maybe, you need me!
Shoot me sugar, I don't really mind
Break my bones, I know I'll be fine

My God,
Look at us, we're losing our minds
And you're tick-tock taking your time
Me, oh I'm doing just fine
Lady maybe I don't know how you're feeling
How you're dealing with emotion
From the starlight down into the ocean
D-d-d-deep into the depths of the sea

Singing lady maybe, you need me!
shoot me sugar, I don't really mind
Break my bones, I know I'll be fine

Jasmine maybe you don't know how you're feeling
How you're dealing with the shake up
From the lipstick to the messy make-up
And every single ring in between

Lady maybe, you need me
shoot me sugar, I don't really mind
Break my bones, I know I'll be fine





Jasmine, I don't mind

Overall Meaning

The song "Jasmine" by Dizzy Balloon is about a boy trying to convince a girl, Jasmine, to take charge of her life and emotions instead of being hesitant and uncertain. He emphasizes that they are both young and have the potential to make their lives special but Jasmine needs to step up to the challenge instead of taking her time. The boy also tries to reassure Jasmine that he will be there for her and doesn't mind if she hurts him because he's confident that he will be okay. He even goes as far as saying that maybe Jasmine needs him even though he is not sure what she is going through. The lyrics suggest that the boy is ready to support Jasmine in whatever way she needs him to.


The song's chorus comprises the repeated refrain, "Lady maybe, you need me! Shoot me sugar, I don't really mind. Break my bones, I know I'll be fine." This shows the boy's eagerness to support Jasmine, even if it puts him in harm's way. He is confident in his ability to get through anything as long as Jasmine eventually makes up her mind about what she wants. The last verse talks about the girl's feeling of confusion - justified by the metaphor of scrambling from lipstick to messy make-up and every single ring in between. The girl is lost and confused in herself, and the boy tries to offer his help and support.


Overall, the song urges listeners to take control of their lives and emotions and not be afraid to ask for help when they need it. It is a reminder that we all go through difficult times and that support is always available if we are open to seeking it.
