Top Comments of this video!! :3
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 donāt know if this is incorrect but I interpret this song as how not fighting back and ābeing the bigger personā is sometimes the better decision. When he says ācome the lighting and the thunder, youāll the one whoāll sufferā and āI know you want the satisfaction itās not going to happenāI think heās 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, heās not going to give in and give them the satisfaction of making him angry or upset. Thatās 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. :)))
