Balance
Katherine Lynn-Rose Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am the life of the party, why do I feel so boring?
Psychopath when I don’t show emotion, drama queen when I’m crying in public
Giving everyone too much attention
Then they go and get offended
Every time I get distracted
Balance, where’s the balance
Think I got it, then I lost it
Balance, where’s the balance
Chorus-
These million dollar questions
Gonna make me broke
These million dollar questions
Make me feel alone
Verse 2-
I don’t go out enough, my mom thinks I’m out too much
Walls up, no one gets in, spill my guts now they say I’m too open
Giving to much weight to people's opinions
Over the top reactions, till I don’t care and go silent
Pre.Chorus-
Balance, where’s the balance
Think I got it, then I lost it
Balance, where’s the balance
I keep on asking
(Chorus)
Bridge-
Wishing I could take all my questions
Turn them into explanations
Making a million dollars
Selling them to all my friends (X2)
Last chorus-
Balance where’s the balance
Think i got it then, i lost it
Balance where’s the balance
Thought I had till i dropped it
Balance where’s the balance
Think i got it then, i lost it
Balance where’s the balance
These million dollar questions
Gonna make me broke
In “Balance,” Katherine Lynn-Rose explores the search for balance in her life, both internally and externally. At the beginning of the song, she describes herself as the life of the party but still feels boring. She further describes herself as a psychopath with no emotion when she doesn't show it and a drama queen when she cries in public. She then talks about the difficulty of trying to find the right balance in her relationships, feeling like she gives too much attention and then gets distracted. She seems to be frustrated with people being offended when she gets distracted, which causes her to question where the balance lies.
In the pre-chorus, Katherine confronts the million-dollar question of where the balance is. She says she’s thought she’s found it, only to lose it again, making her feel alone in her search. In the second verse, she talks about how she is never doing enough for her mom, but when she does open up to people and spill her guts, they tell her she is being too open. This leads to her giving too much weight to people's opinions and then reacting over the top until she doesn’t care and goes silent.
The chorus repeats the million-dollar question of where the balance is, emphasizing that the search for balance is causing her emotional turmoil. In the bridge, she wishes that she could turn all her questions into explanations and sell them, perhaps highlighting her desire to help others who may also be struggling to find balance. The final chorus repeats the search for balance, ending on a note of frustration where she thought she had achieved balance but still dropped it.
