Hyperballad

I guess that song is about when you’re in a relationship and it’s going really well and you’re really happy and maybe you have given up parts of yourself. To fall in love and be in a relationship for a long time is like giving a lot of parts of you away, because the relationship becomes more important than you as individuals. It’s a bit of a tricky balance. I think everyone in a relationship needs to know not to forget themselves...

Obviously, it’s imaginary and didn’t actually happen : she wakes up before him and sneaks out and throws stuff off a cliff so she can climb back into bed and go ’Good morning honey’. There’s maybe a side of you that you can’t fit into a relationship.
