Ballad
Surefire Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Verse I:
No good things will ever come to an end,
It's just the beginning of a brand new trend.
So please can you try and not cry,
It's time to move on with your lives.
Don't miss me while I'm away
Got nothing to worry about I'll think of you everyday.
If we close our eyes we know everything will go wrong...
Now the days they seem so long...

And I'll close my eyes, and I'll count to ten, I just wanna see you here.
It's different now then it was then, I'm stuck here in my only fear.
Baby I'm dying here, without all of you nothing seems right.
And if we close our eyes and we turn our backs it'll all ended with tonight.

Verse II:
Blood type A match being washed from your hands.
Does it make you happy or does it make you sad?
Look at the darkness of this place,
Look in my eyes this is the last time you'll see my face.
Try to remember all of these years,
Remember that one time we drank all those beers,
We passed out on the floor,
Then we woke up and we drank a little more.

Chorus:
And I don't know why...
Why'd we have to say good-bye?
And as the sun starts to fade,
That's just the way things will stay.

Verse III:
No good things will ever come to an end,
It's just the brand new beginning of a brand new trend.
So please can you try and not cry,
It's time to move on, time to move on with your lives.
Don't miss me while I'm away
Got nothing to worry about I'll think of you everyday.
So please can you try and not cry
Cause its time to move on, time to move on with your lives.

Overall Meaning

The song Ballad by Surefire is a poignant reflection on the pain of leaving people behind and moving on in life. The lyrics talk about how no good things ever truly come to an end, rather they become the beginning of a new trend. This is a comforting thought in the face of loss and change, but it's also tinged with a sad reminder that everything changes eventually. The verses speak directly to a loved one, asking them not to cry and to remember the good times they shared. The chorus is a mournful acceptance that sometimes things just have to end, even if we don't want them to.


The song starts off with the idea that endings are just the beginning of a new chapter in life. Even though we may miss the person or thing that we're leaving behind, we need to keep moving forward. It's a common sentiment, but the way the lyrics are delivered is heartfelt and honest. The line, "If we close our eyes, we know everything will go wrong" is particularly poignant. It's a feeling that many of us can relate to - that if we stop and think too much about what we've lost or what's coming next, we'll be overwhelmed by sadness.


In the second verse, the lyrics take a more contemplative turn. The blood type A match being washed from your hands could be seen as a metaphor for the inevitable nature of change. We can't hold on to anything forever, no matter how much we may want to. The final lines of the verse are bittersweet, remembering a time of joy while acknowledging that it's gone now.


Overall, Ballad is a beautiful song that captures the feelings of loss, change, and the need to keep moving forward. It's not an easy thing to do, but Surefire's lyrics offer a message of hope even in the face of sadness.
