Discover the story of the song > Balloon Thief – zaki (band)

The song talks about being stuck in a boring and unfulfilling place, where life feels like there's no meaning or purpose. The protagonist is young and feels like time is slipping away without any excitement or love in their life. They hope to find someone they can connect with, but worry that they'll just be used as a toy. The chorus repeats the idea that all of their mistakes and regrets keep coming back to haunt them, making them feel even more lost.
