Heavy Balloon

Fiona Apple

Transposer:

[Intro]           [Verse 1] People like us we play with a heavy balloon We keep it up to keep the devil at bay but it always falls way too soon People like us we play with a heavy balloon We keep it up to keep the devil at bay but it always falls way too soon People like us we play with a heavy balloon We keep it up to keep the devil at bay but it always falls way too soon [Chorus] I spread like strawberries (I spread like strawberries) I climb like peas and beans (I climb like peas and beans) I’ve been sucking it in so long That I’m busting at the seams I spread like strawberries (I spread like strawberries) I climb like peas and beans (I climb like peas and beans) I’ve been sucking it in so long That I’m busting at the seams [Bridge] In the middle of the day it’s like the sun But the Saharan one it’s staring me down Forcing all forms of life inside of me to retreat underground It grows relentless like the teeth of a rat It’s just got to keep on gnawing at me And it constricts like a boa on a hose nothing flows So the pressure grows instead of the seed [Verse 2] People like us get so heavy and so lost sometimes So lost and so heavy that the bottom is the only place we can find You get dragged down down to the same spot enough times in a row The bottom begins to feel like the only safe place that you know [Chorus] But you know what? I spread like strawberries (I spread like strawberries) I climb like peas and beans (I climb like peas and beans) I’ve been sucking it in so long That I’m busting at the seams I spread like strawberries (I spread like strawberries) I climb like peas and beans (I climb like peas and beans) I’ve been sucking it in so long That I’m busting at the seams [Outro] (I spread like strawberries) I spread like strawberries I climb like (I climb like peas and beans) I spread like strawberries I climb like peas and beans I spread like strawberries I climb like peas and beans (That I’m busting at the seams) I spread like strawberries I climb like peas and beans

La chanson évoque la lutte constante de personnes face à des poids émotionnels et des pressions qui semblent les alourdir. Elles tentent de maintenir le contrôle et repoussent les influences négatives, mais malgré leurs efforts, elles se sentent écrasées par les défis de la vie. Ce dilemme entre le désir de légèreté et le fardeau du quotidien se traduit par des images de croissance et de retenue, révélant un sentiment de vulnérabilité et de solitude. L'artiste transmet l'idée que, même au plus bas, il existe une volonté de s'élever et de se libérer, malgré les obstacles.
