Tightrope
love-sadKID Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I saw a girl
Sitting on a piano bench
Playing my favorite song
I felt the need
To catch my breath
Right next to her
I sang along
Many months
She kept it quiet
Forgive me I'm too tired
Hiding heartbreak
I try and try
But I'm not the only one
She admired

Lives intertwined
Someone else on her mind
So we fight and we break
And we start up again
Walking on tightrope
Wondering when will it end

Do you remember
Our constellations
They meant the world
Yet they're so far away
I still remember
The way you held me




Saying baby girl
You'll be ok

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of the song depict the singer coming across a girl playing his favorite song on a piano bench. He is drawn to her and sings along with her, thereby initiating the start of their relationship. However, as time goes by, it becomes apparent that the girl is hiding heartbreak and has someone else on her mind. Despite her love and admiration for the singer, they end up fighting and breaking up only to start over again. The chorus of the song talks about how their relationship is like walking on a tightrope, with the constant fear of falling and not knowing when it would end.


The relationship has its ups and downs and is often unstable, represented by the metaphorical tightrope. The reference to "constellations" in the lyrics signifies the memories and moments of joy the two shared, but they now seem distant, making the singer reminiscent. In the end, he still remembers the way she held him, offering solace and reassurance, telling him everything will be okay.


Overall, "Tightrope" talks about the complexities of love, heartbreak, and the constant struggle to hold onto a relationship that seems to be falling apart. The song provides an ever-relatable perspective on the intricacies of a romantic relationship that the listeners can resonate with.

I saw a girl
I laid eyes on a girl


Sitting on a piano bench
She was seated on a bench meant for playing a piano


Playing my favorite song
She was playing a melody that was dear to my heart


I felt the need
I had an urge inside of me


To catch my breath
Where, for a moment, I had to stop and breathe


Right next to her
I stood so close to her


I sang along
I joined in and sang the tune


Many months
A long time has since gone


She kept it quiet
She’s been silent about something vital


Forgive me I'm too tired
Pardon my weariness


Hiding heartbreak
Concealing deep emotional pain


I try and try
Despite several attempts


But I'm not the only one she admired
She had feelings for more than just me


Lives intertwined

And we always make up eventually


Walking on tightrope
Our relationship is precariously balanced


Wondering when will it end
Uncertain when it will all fall apart


Do you remember
Can you recall?


Our constellations
The patterns of stars we used to admire


They meant the world
These meant everything to us


Yet they're so far away
Even though they're distant now


I still remember
I haven't forgotten


The way you held me
Your embrace


Saying baby girl
Addressing me softly


You'll be okay
That everything will be alright

Havent seen any lyrics yet so heres my attempt to it sorry if its wrong and if anyone knows that word he said i cant make it out but here ya go:

And i been walkin that tightrope swinging in the sky
They just see me floatin and never wondered why
They just think that i know, i dont
Space is way to close bouncin as the breeze goes
I been walkin that tightrope swinging in the sky
They just see me floatin keep passin me by
They just think that i know, i dont

Yeeaaa yea

And I been walkin on that thin little string in the air
Tryna get a better view to find a care in the world
And i think i got the juice, take a sip
Perfection in its subtlety enough to take a break from my trapeze and plant some money tree
Im way too high, i cant even see the ground
Tryna reach the stars I'm puttin space between my peers and i
If snakes could fly I'd be surrounded by these other artists tryna get a ??? where i started just to pin my problems
This aint a circus but yall seen my tricks right? (Right)
Yall think yall know me but i aint a lick
I get caught up on all the analytics scifi on the number crunch
Pondering why not a single label put some money up (why?)
Im runnin outta options and have thoughts to make a song about it
Its lately got me askin everybody if ive done enough? ( I aint do enough)
Think I'd be down by now
But at least this music biz is fun to be around (truuee)

And i been walkin that tightrope swinging in the sky
They just see me floatin and never wondered why
They just think that i know, i dont
Space is way to close bouncin as the breeze goes
I been walkin that tightrope swinging in the sky
They just see me floatin keep passin me by
They just think that i know, i dont

Yeeaaa yea
(Oooooo woaahhh woah yea yea yeaaa)

P.S. Enjoy singing and loving the song and if no one told you they loved you today, I love you!

Let's try this again! First music video of 2021 and definitely nowhere near the last. 2020 was a difficult year and I'm sure this year will be a process of recovery and more than ever an attempt not to relapse, but with that in mind I present to you a song about perseverance through bounds of adversity, "Tightrope". This video was directed and edited by my talented bestfriend Chase, with asset help from my other bestfriend Kales, and I'm excited to share this with you. Let me know what you think! <3
