Literally me

[xochris]

ever since i was a jit, knew i was the shit.

[beatfein]

'Cause these nights pass, so much quicker than the days did

Same clothes you ain't ready for your day shift

But you up you need money for your face lift

Lust over love is your mindset

Waking up with most of your side wet

Another room, you hear your mom cryin'

'Cause she found your bag stuffed in the laundry

And the Bacardi from the last party

The Weeknd - House Of Balloons / Glass Table Girls analysed:

The opening lines set the tone, suggesting that the singer's life has changed significantly since someone came into it. The lines "Been on another level / Since you came, no more pain" imply that this person has brought joy and pleasure to his life.

The phrase "You're in my world now, you can stay" suggests a sense of possessiveness or control over this person. It's almost as if the subject is being welcomed into a world of indulgence and excess, but also being warned that they now belong to the singer.

The repeated lines "If it hurts to breathe, open a window" and "Your mind wants to leave, but you can't go" could be interpreted as a reference to the intoxicating effects of drugs and how they can trap someone in a state of euphoria, making it hard to escape.

The chorus with the lines "This is a happy house, we're happy here, in a happy house" further reinforces the theme of seeking pleasure and joy in this hedonistic environment. The repetition of "fun" emphasizes the constant pursuit of enjoyment and excitement.

The verse "Nights pass so much quicker than the days did / Same clothes, you ain't ready for your day shift" hints at the nocturnal and decadent lifestyle of the singer and his companions. They seem to be living in a perpetual nighttime, detached from the responsibilities of the outside world.

The lines "She give me sex in a handbag / I get her wetter than a wet nap" are provocative and suggest a casual attitude towards intimacy and physical pleasure. It reinforces the theme of indulgence and pleasure-seeking in this environment.

The Weeknd's lyrics often contain references to drugs and the party culture, and "House of Balloons" is no exception. The lines "Roll a dub, burn a dub, cough a dub, taste it / Then watch us chase it" explicitly refer to drug use, particularly marijuana.

Throughout the song, there's a sense of recklessness and abandon in the pursuit of pleasure, with lines like "And when we act a fool, it's probably 'cause we mixed it" hinting at drug cocktails or combinations. The overall message seems to be about indulging in the moment without concern for consequences.

In conclusion, "House of Balloons" by The Weeknd portrays a world of hedonism, pleasure, and escapism. The song's lyrics delve into the allure of drugs and a carefree lifestyle. The repetitive and hypnotic nature of the track's melody mirrors the intoxicating effects of the lifestyle it depicts. It serves as a snapshot of a moment in time, where the pursuit of fun and pleasure takes precedence over everything else, and the consequences of such a lifestyle are seemingly disregarded.

“Nights pass so much quicker than the days did

Same clothes, you aren’t ready for your day shift”

Another song in my playlists, this time The Weeknd. If you talk about love, you talk about this song.

Lyrics

Tell me the truth

Baby girl, who else been with you

It's gon' come to my attention either way, yeah (uh, yeah)

And I understand

Baby girl, we all have a past

I'd much rather hear the truth come straight from you (yeah)

So if I love you (if I love you)

It'd be just for you (it'd be just for you)

So when I'm touching you (touching you)

Can I trust in you (trust in you)

Can I trust in you (trust in you), oh baby

Girl, come show me your true colors

Paint me a picture with your true colors

These are the questions of a new lover

True colors, true colors

Girl, come show me your true colors

Paint me a picture with your true colors

These are confessions of a new lover

True colors, true colors

What's done is done

Now that I'm the only one

If you tell me I'll accept what you've been through, oh yeah

And I don't believe all this inconsistency

I've been hearing different stories about you

So if I love you (if I love you)

It'd be just for you (it'd be just for you)

So when I'm touching you (touching you)

Can I trust in you (trust in you)

Can I trust in you (trust in you), oh baby

Girl, come show me your true colors

Paint me a picture with your true colors

These are the questions of a new lover

True colors, true colors

Girl, come show me your true colors (true)

Paint me a picture with your true colors (true)

These are confessions of a new lover (true)

True colors

Baby, show me you're a keeper

It's been hard for me to keep up

You've been tryna keep me in the dark

But baby girl, I see you

Baby, show me you're a keeper (show me you're a keeper)

It's been hard for me to keep up (hard for me to keep up)

You've been tryna keep me in the dark (yeah, yeah, yeah)

But baby girl, I see you (yeah)

Girl, come show me your true colors

Paint me a picture with your true colors

These are the questions of a new lover

True colors, true colors

Girl, come show me your true colors (true)

Paint me a picture with your true colors (true)

These are confessions of a new lover

True colors, true colors
