The song's lyrics are clearly written about drug addiction, in particular, the heroin addiction of Robby's girlfriend/wife, but I think the song has a more general import. It is about the mutual interconnectedness between two people, and how each affects the other, even in some of the most darkest circumstances, changing both for the better. Only he could help her - "a thousand other boys could never reach you. How could I have been one?". The black balloon and the spoon are obviously heroin references. He led her out her addiction to it. But, at the same time, she was an answer to his prayer, as he 'almost fell into the (same) hole' in her life (heroin addiction), because through her, he saw the negative impact it had on her life. The womb is a source of comfort, as well as source of nourishment - the heroin serves as that. But, it's all a lie. People do drugs to escape from a reality that is harsh, where lies are told and love doesn't seem to exist - "you know the lies they always told you, and the love you never knew." But, life is more than the negativity that seems to surround people's lives - "what's the things they never showed you?" The longer she exists in this state, her true importance wanes, and it affects the world around her, and "angels fall" without her there. The ending is a plea to let him lead her home ("I'll go on and lead you home") - out of the drug addiction - and become the angel that she became to him ("that you became to me"), which circles back to almost falling into that hole in her life. It's a hopeful song, that portrays that one can become an angel for others even in the most darkest of circumstances. That's my 2 cents.

The Goo Goo Dolls "Slide" is an audience favorite and the NJ band "Whatever" does a nice cover here. It's a great rock song full of texture and feeling. The song was included on Dizzy Up the Girl, and was among Top-Ten hits "Slide", "Black Balloon", "Broadway", and "Dizzy" from the same album. The new, polished sound garnered legions of new fans, many of whom had not followed the band before their mainstream success. Most Goo Goo Dolls concerts feature few, if any, songs the band wrote before 1995, reflecting the band's more mainstream sound. Although the lyrics to "Black Balloon" are vague and unclear, as this is an essential aspect of Rzeznik's style of writing, the song, according to the lead-singer himself, regards drug abuse and the emotional consequences of indulging in them. It is widely believed that the song was written for Robby Takac's wife who was once caught up in drug abuse but who has fully recovered today; both refuse to state who the song is written for or about. In 2001, the Goos released their first ever compilation CD, What I Learned About Ego, Opinion, Art & Commerce. Next, Gutterflower (2002)—with dark lyrical undertones from Rzeznik's divorce—achieved platinum certification, producing the hits "Here Is Gone", "Sympathy", and "Big Machine". On July 4, 2004, the band performed a free concert in their hometown of Buffalo, continuing through a deluge of rain that can be seen on the DVD released later that year. The DVD also contained a studio version of the Goo Goo Dolls' cover of "Give a Little Bit" by Supertramp. The single reached the top of the Adult Top 40 chart in 2005.

Goo Goo Dolls
Black Balloon
Baby's black balloon makes her fly
I almost fell into that hole in your life
And you're not thinking 'bout tomorrow
'Cause you were the same as me
But on your knees
A thousand other boys could never reach you
How could I have been the one?
I saw the world spin beneath you
And scatter like ice from the spoon
That was your womb
Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
Or are you someone's prayer
You know the lies they always told you
And the love you never know
What's the things they never showed you
That swallow the light from the sun
Inside your room, yeah
Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
Always someone
And there's no time left for losin'
When you stand they fall
Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
And I go on as you get colder
All because I'm
Comin' down the years turn over
And angels fall without you there
And I'll go on to bring you home and
All because I'm
All because I'm
And I'll become
What you became to me
