Balisong
THE JUANS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your face
Lights up the sky on the highway
Someday
You share your world with me
Someday

You mesmerize me, with diamond eyes
I try to fool myself to think I'll be alright
But I am losing all control, my mind, my heart, my body and my soul

Never in my life have I been more sure
So come on up to me and close the door
Nobody's made me feel this way before
You're everything I wanted and more

To speak or not too, where to begin
A great dilemma I'm finding myself thin
For all I know you only see me as a friend
I try to tell myself wake up fool
This fairy tale's got to end

Never in my life have a been more sure
So come on up to me and close the door
Nobody's made me feel this way before
You're everything I wanted

Never in my life have I been more sure
So come on up to me and close the door
Nobody's made me feel this way before
You're everything I wanted and more





You're everything I wanted

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to THE JUANS's song Balisong express the singer's admiration and infatuation for someone he sees as perfect. He describes the person's face lighting up the sky on the highway, and how someday he hopes to share their world. He is mesmerized by her, with diamond eyes, and he tries to fool himself that he'll be alright, but he is losing all control - mind, heart, body, and soul. The singer has never been more sure of anything in his life as this infatuation. He wants her to come up to him and close the door, saying that nobody's made him feel this way before. He believes she is everything he ever wanted and more, yet he questions whether she sees him as more than a friend. The singer is unsure whether he should speak up and confess his feelings or not, and he finds himself in a great dilemma, hoping that the fairy tale doesn't end.


The song's lyrics are straightforward and relatable, touching the hearts of people who have experienced infatuation, admiration, and love. It is notable that the band uses the word Balisong, a knife with two handles that can fold over the blade when closed, which symbolizes the singer's feeling of being trapped in his own emotions with no way out. The metaphor reinforces the feeling of helplessness and vulnerability that the singer expresses. The song's melody uses a mix of slow and upbeat moments, creating a contrast between the lyrics and the tune. The slow parts emphasize the singer's infatuation and vulnerability, while the upbeat parts express his confidence and desire for more.

100 Tula para kay Stella taught me 10 things:

1. SABIHIN MO NA sa taong mahal mo na mahal mo sya. Kasi bilog ang mundo, maraming pwedeng magbago.
2. You can love a person from afar na walang kapalit. That's why sacrifice is the language of love, because you want them to be happy, even if it is without you.
3. Natural magselos kahit wala kang karapatan basta may nararamdaman.
4. Life is short to hide your feelings. If you wait too long before you tell them, you might miss your chance.
5. The good old saying, "If someone loves you, they will fight for you", is NOT the only form of love. There are times when circumstances are so overwhelming that is forces two people in love start to break apart.
6. Who can really say what's best? Take whatevee chance you have of happiness and not worry about other people too much.
7. The people that you care about the most are the ones that can really hurt you.
8. Sometimes love isn't enough to get back with someone.
9. When you've finally decided to let go of the things you can't have, another door starts to open. And this is the one of the biggest favors you can do for yourself.
10. We don't always end up with someone we want.

You know what makes this movie so heart breaking is the fact na sa ending, hinihintay lang pala nila ang isa't isa. β˜ΉοΈπŸ’”

Stella do love Fidel. And she didn't want to use him as she have said. Pero. The thing is, Stella wanted someone to save her. She was waiting for someone na kaya syang tanggapin kung ano sya and mags stay sa kanya even in her bad days.

And, she wanted that person to be Fidel.
But Fidel was silent eh, he didnt tell a thing to Stella about his feelings. And then there was fate.

When Stella was feeling lost, Von found her. Kahit ginusto ni Stella na si Fidel ang makakita sa kanya.

It was sad. Kasi sa dulo, dun palang nagconfess si Fidel, but it was too late.

In the end, they realized naghintayan lang pala sila pareho, but the moment they found that out, hindi na sila pwede. πŸ™ƒ

Lesson of this tear jerking movie for me,

"Life is too short to waste a second"

One thing 100 tula para kay stella taught me is to let go of the things not meant for us. Some people waited for love that had to come but it never came their way which is very sad , but sometimes that's just life . Letting go does not mean losing, letting go means growing in different direction . Sa nakaka basa neto , makaka usad ka , makakalimutan mo sya , tiwala lang :) .True love will give the world to you .
