    There is so much meaning in this song but what really stands out to me is the subtle parallels drawn between both kids; showing them both with their own pain and fear. In the end, the boy in the bubble shows the other kid how to live in a safe bubble in order to protect himself, even though he lives "in a broken bubble". To create his own, safe, bubble when his family bubble is broken. What an amazing song.

    LYRICS:
    It was 6:48, I was walking home
    Stepped through the gate, and I'm all alone
    I had chicken on the plate, but the food was cold
    Then I covered up my face so that no one knows
    I didn't want trouble
    I'm the boy in the bubble
    But then came trouble
    When my mom walked into the living room
    She said, "Boy, you gotta tell me what they did to you"
    I said, "You don't wanna know the things I had to do"
    She said, "Son, you gotta tell me why you're black and blue"
    I said I didn't want trouble
    I'm the boy in the bubble
    But then came trouble
    And my heart was pumping
    Chest was screaming
    Mind was running
    Air was freezing
    Put my hands up
    Put my hands up
    I told this kid I'm ready for a fight
    Punch my face
    Do it 'cause I like the pain
    Every time you curse my name
    I know you want the satisfaction
    It's not gonna happen
    Knock me out
    Kick me when I'm on the ground
    It's only gonna let you down
    Come the lightning and the thunder
    You're the one who'll suffer, suffer
    Well I squared him up, left my chest exposed
    He threw a quick left hook and it broke my nose
    I had thick red blood running down my clothes
    And a sick, sick look 'cause I like it though
    I said I didn't want trouble
    I'm the boy in the bubble
    But then came trouble
    And my heart was pumping
    Chest was screaming
    Mind was running
    Nose was bleeding
    Put my hands up
    Put my hands up
    I told this kid I'm ready for a fight
    Punch my face
    Do it 'cause I like the pain
    Every time you curse my name
    I know you want the satisfaction
    It's not gonna happen
    Knock me out
    Kick me when I'm on the ground
    It's only gonna let you down
    Come the lightning and the thunder
    You're the one who'll suffer
    It was 6:48, he was walking home
    With the blood on his hand from my broken nose
    But like every other day, he was scared to go
    Back to his house 'cause his pops was home
    Drowning his troubles in whiskey bubbles
    Just looking for trouble
    Well, there's no excuse for the things he did
    But there's a lot at home that he's dealing with
    Because his dad's been drunk since he was a kid
    And I hope one day that he'll say to him
    Put down those bubbles and that belt buckle
    In this broken bubble
    Punch my face
    Do it 'cause I like the pain
    Every time you curse my name
    I know you want the satisfaction
    It's not gonna happen
    Knock me out
    Kick me when I'm on the ground
    It's only gonna let you down
    Come the lightning and the thunder
    You're the one who'll suffer, suffer

    I don’t know if this is incorrect but I interpret this song as how not fighting back and “being the bigger person” is sometimes the better decision. When he says “come the lighting and the thunder, you’ll the one who’ll suffer” and “I know you want the satisfaction it’s not going to happen”I think he’s referring by to how later in life, the bullies will be the ones who suffer is they continue down this path of abuse and violence and that even tho they beat him up, he’s not going to give in and give them the satisfaction of making him angry or upset. That’s just how I interpreted the song. Also, I love your music Alec! This was one of the firsts song I listen to when I found about his music. :)))

    A lil analysis of the song/video:
    -the song switches between three perspectives: the boy, the bully, the narrorator.
    -the boy is victim of bullying, however, the bully is also bullied by the dad. "Son you gotta tell me why you're black and blue" could be referring to the bully being beaten by the dad (or the boy, or both, same for a lot of other lyrics). Also, "He was scared to go home every night" (the lyric along those lines) refers to the bully being scared to go home because of his abusive father.
    -The boy is richer and better off than the bully
    -The boy's astronaut helmet is symbolic of protection. The boy has the helmet on because he needs protection from the bully.
    -At the end, he takes of his helmet, and hands it to the bully. This is a symbolic guesture symbolizing the boy's realization that the bully needs protection more than him (from the dad), as he is a witness of the dad's abuse
    -The time is night, possibly visually presenting the idiom, "at the end of the day", which translates to "ultimately", in essence.
    SO
    "At the end of the day" the boy is protected, because he has a safer house, and the bully can hurt him all he wants, but the boy will be safer, and have a better future.
    I have a lot of other thoughts on this song, but it would take too long to write all it.
    Idk I could just be overanalysing this song lol

    I'm five years late to this song I guess but I discovered this song at the right time and the being the bigger person message and standing up to your enemies or bullies really meant a lot to me. The storytelling and catchy chorus and relatability to every kid or teenager who was ever bullied is what make this song one of my top favorites.

      The "helmet" is actually the bubble. The kid gave it to the bully because he was showing him who the true boy in the bubble was. Everyone thought it was the kid with glasses, but the whole time it was the bully who felt alone and oppressed.

    alec's songwriting is underappreciated. yeah, his voice is unique and really nice to listen to, but if you pay attention to the lyrics he uses a lot of metaphors and figurative language. not a lot of mainstream music today has this type of meaning in the lyrics. alec's songs always tell a story and unlike telling it directly he likes us to interpret it and i think that's amazing. he really deserves more recognition.

    When he said
    "It was 6:48, I was walking home
    Stepped through the gate, and I'm all alone
    I had chicken on the plate, but the food was cold
    Then I covered up my face so that no one knows
    I didn't want trouble, I'm the boy in the bubble
    But then came trouble
    When my mom walked into the living room
    She said, "Boy, you gotta tell me what they did to you"
    I said, "You don't wanna know the things I had to do"
    She said, "Son, you gotta tell me why you're black and blue"
    I said I didn't want trouble, I'm the boy in the bubble
    But then came trouble
    And my heart was pumping, chest was screaming
    Mind was running, air was freezing
    Put my hands up, put my hands up
    I told this kid I'm ready for a fight
    Punch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain
    Every time you curse my name
    I know you want the satisfaction, it's not gonna happen
    Knock me out, kick me when I'm on the ground
    It's only gonna let you down
    Come the lightning and the thunder
    You're the one who'll suffer, suffer
    Well I squared him up, left my chest exposed
    He threw a quick left hook and it broke my nose
    I had thick red blood running down my clothes
    And a sick, sick look 'cause I like it though
    I said I didn't want trouble, I'm the boy in the bubble
    But then came trouble
    And my heart was pumping, chest was screaming
    Mind was running, nose was bleeding
    Put my hands up, put my hands up
    I told this kid I'm ready for a fight
    Punch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain
    Every time you curse my name
    I know you want the satisfaction, it's not gonna happen
    Knock me out, kick me when I'm on the ground
    It's only gonna let you down
    Come the lightning and the thunder
    You're the one who'll suffer
    It was 6:48, he was walking home
    With the blood on his hand from my broken nose
    But like every other day, he was scared to go
    Back to his house 'cause his pops was home
    Drowning his troubles in whiskey bubbles
    Just looking for trouble
    Well, there's no excuse for the things he did
    But there's a lot at home that he's dealing with
    Because his dad's been drunk since he was a kid
    And I hope one day that he'll say to him
    "Put down those bubbles and that belt buckle
    In this broken bubble"
    Punch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain
    Every time you curse my name
    I know you want the satisfaction, it's not gonna happen
    Knock me out, kick me when I'm on the ground
    It's only gonna let you down
    Come the lightning and the thunder
    You're the one who'll suffer, suffer"

      These are the lyrics with quotation marks how I just viewed it:
      It was 6:48, I was walking home
      Stepped through the gate, and I'm all alone
      I had chicken on the plate, but the food was cold
      Then I covered up my face so that no one knows
      I didn't want trouble
      I'm the boy in the bubble
      But then came trouble
      When my mom walked into the living room
      She said, "Boy, you gotta tell me what they did to you"
      I said, "You don't wanna know the things I had to do"
      She said, "Son, you gotta tell me why you're black and blue"
      I said, "I didn't want trouble
      I'm the boy in the bubble
      But then came trouble
      And my heart was pumping
      Chest was screaming
      Mind was running
      Air was freezing
      Put my hands up
      Put my hands up
      I told this kid, 'I'm ready for a fight
      Punch my face
      Do it 'cause I like the pain
      Every time you curse my name
      I know you want the satisfaction
      It's not gonna happen
      Knock me out
      Kick me when I'm on the ground
      It's only gonna let you down
      Come the lightning and the thunder
      You're the one who'll suffer, suffer'
      Well I squared him up, left my chest exposed
      He threw a quick left hook and it broke my nose
      I had thick red blood running down my clothes
      And a sick, sick look 'cause I like it though
      I said I didn't want trouble
      I'm the boy in the bubble
      But then came trouble
      And my heart was pumping
      Chest was screaming
      Mind was running
      Nose was bleeding
      Put my hands up
      Put my hands up
      I told this kid, 'I'm ready for a fight
      Punch my face
      Do it 'cause I like the pain
      Every time you curse my name
      I know you want the satisfaction
      It's not gonna happen
      Knock me out
      Kick me when I'm on the ground
      It's only gonna let you down
      Come the lightning and the thunder
      You're the one who'll suffer'
      It was 6:48, he was walking home
      With the blood on his hand from my broken nose
      But like every other day, he was scared to go
      Back to his house 'cause his pops was home
      Drowning his troubles in whiskey bubbles
      Just looking for trouble
      Well, there's no excuse for the things he did
      But there's a lot at home that he's dealing with
      Because his dad's been drunk since he was a kid
      And I hope one day that he'll say to him,
      'Put down those bubbles and that belt buckle
      In this broken bubble
      Punch my face
      Do it 'cause I like the pain
      Every time you curse my name
      I know you want the satisfaction
      It's not gonna happen
      Knock me out
      Kick me when I'm on the ground
      It's only gonna let you down
      Come the lightning and the thunder
      You're the one who'll suffer, suffer.'"

    I'm so proud of Alec gosh.. I remember when he barely had fans and I talked to him in the comments a lot he's such a nice person. I'm just so glad that he's getting recognition again because he truly deserves it. If you didn't already you should check out his older songs as well.
    I love you a lot Alec, been a fan since day one💓

    Could you make a quick song? For me? The lyric are these:
    It was a summer night, stars up above,
    We used to laugh and share all our love,
    But now the air is cold, the skies are gray,
    The magic's gone, it's all slipped away.
    We tried to hold on, but it's falling apart,
    Two broken souls, with a shattered heart,
    I'm drowning in memories, can't catch my breath,
    A love that once soared, now faces its death.
    In this parting song, we say goodbye,
    The tears we shed, they won't run dry,
    I'll hold the pieces, though we've moved on,
    A broken melody, but life goes on.
    I remember the laughter, the way we'd smile,
    But now it's faded, lost in denial,
    We tried to fix us, but the cracks grew wide,
    The love we cherished, swallowed by the tide.
    We're standing on the edge, about to fall,
    Our love story ends, no more curtain call,
    I'm holding onto dreams that used to be,
    But now they're drifting, like leaves in the breeze.
    In this parting song, we say goodbye,
    The tears we shed, they won't run dry,
    I'll hold the pieces, though we've moved on,
    A broken melody, but life goes on.
    (Bridge)
    The echoes of "I love you" haunt my mind,
    But time can't rewind, or make us aligned,
    We'll walk separate paths, no turning back,
    A bitter truth, a painful fact.
    (Chorus)
    In this parting song, we say goodbye,
    The tears we shed, they won't run dry,
    I'll hold the pieces, though we've moved on,
    A broken melody, but life goes on.
    (Outro)
    This chapter's closing, a final page,
    We'll heal and grow, find a new stage,
    Though love has ended, I'll still be strong,
    With hope in my heart, I'll sing my own song.
