Attention
Now
Hold
Me
Tight
Don't make a sound
I've got what I wanted
You're like a helium balloon
The way the world
Just drifts away
When I'm with you
This is the one time I'm not
Letting go
Oh oh oh oh
I'll hold your string tightly
I'm never cutting the rope
just like a helium balloon
Perfectly floating now
Just me and you
No gravity
I feel like I am on the moon
My heart is leaping for the sky
When I'm with you
Just like a helium balloon
A helium balloon
Can't believe the love I've found
Every kiss has got me bound
Hope you feel the same rush
I can't take my eyes off you
You're like a helium balloon
The way the world just drifts away
When I'm with you
This is the one time I'm not
Letting go
Oh oh oh oh
I'll hold your string tightly
I'm never cutting the rope
My baby
Just like a helium balloon
Perfectly floating now
Just me and you
No gravity
I feel like I am on the moon
My heart is leaping for the sky
When I'm with you
Just like a helium balloon
Helium balloon
We don't need
No gravity
We float among the clouds
Coz you
Bring out my
Bring out my inner child
Bring out my inner child
I'll hold your string tightly
I'm never cutting the rope
Just like a helium balloon
Perfectly floating now
Just me and you
No gravity
I feel like I am on the moon
My heart is leaping for the sky
When I'm with you
Just like a helium balloon
Helium balloon
I'll hold your string tightly
I'm never cutting the rope
Just like a helium balloon
Perfectly floating now
Just me and you
No gravity
I feel like I am on the moon
My heart is leaping for the sky
When I'm with you
Just like a helium balloon
A helium balloon
The song “Balloon” by Melanie Valentine talks about a love that she has finally found and cherishes. In the beginning, she asks for her lover's attention and to hold her tight. She sees her lover as a helium balloon, where being with them makes the world disappear. She holds onto her lover tightly like how one holds onto a helium balloon's string without cutting it. She implies that she never wants to let go of this love. The metaphor continues, and she says that they both are like a helium balloon that floats perfectly now, and there is no gravity between them. She says that she feels like she is on the moon, and her heart leaps for the sky when she is with her lover. This song speaks about the endless fun and happiness that love can bring.
While the song's verses may seem simple, deeper, and more intricate emotions are conveyed through the use of metaphors. These metaphors make the song more relatable and manageable. The helium balloon mentioned is tied to the ground with a string, just like how people hold onto their love. The balloon could represent her heart floating away in the love, while holding onto the string represents self-restraint, indicating that love needs to be held carefully. In conclusion, lovers should cherish their partners and hold onto them tightly like a helium balloon.
