Description
This song's title is a definite nod to Led Zep, and you can understand why; the arrangement is a little complex, ranging from delicate, to heavy & syncopated, to anthemic, all with an easy to listen to flow that is remarkable. The song is about defying the bounds of convention to chase your dreams, to dare to fly what others see as a "Led Balloon".
Lyrics
Locked inside A galaxy behind his eyes Trapped in a shell of the smallest size Everyone passed him by Don't you know Not everything’s a TV show With perfect teeth and pretty clothes All villains or heroes And so it goes So they all told him he'd never have all that it takes Their paper tiger establishment keeps them in place So much is left to waste He won't tell you How you should feel or what to do No special interest to answer to Nothing to hide from you No need to lie "Give it up", they said "Don't try to do the things that can't be done Least not by you, just join the scrum Fall in and just play dumb" Oh not for long It makes no difference what things that the golden ones say He'll soon be rising as they all go down in flames! Set sail tonight Never let it die Rise right over Walls of hatred’s lies Unveil tonight Finally get it right From the bottom Break on through the sky We'll go over like a Led Balloon, yeah We're going to show them what we always knew We're going over like a Led Balloon, yeah We’re going to show them what we can break through
