about

Description:

Oftentimes people dream about what life would be like if they could only improve their station. This song offers a less Utopian view of such a scenario. A man who, by most definitions, “has it all,” reflects on how empty his life really is. He has no friends, no life, and nothing that tethers him to the world. Why can’t he be fulfilled from his station in the sky? Must be all that cloud cover.

lyrics

Lyrics:

Ladies and gentlemen: Cloud Cover!

Been caught up in the clouds so long
I couldn’t even touch the ground
Taking every chance I’ve got to get a grip but there’s
No one else around
The air is thin, no oxygen,
and all the wind is colder here
Been so caught up with riding high that I just
Disappeared, yeah

Ain’t it familiar? My life is similar
To how it was but I won’t lay and take my lot
Ain’t it peculiar? I was the ruler
But the rain is mighty lonely from the top

If daylight’s so important am I dead
until I’ve hit the sun?
Or am I lost until I’m hand in hand
with everyone
The funny thing about the light is it can
Make a body blind
I’m reaching for the ground yet
I still take to the sky

It must be all that cloud cover

My heart is nowhere near me, it’s sheltered
From the lies
Protected from the cloudburst, it looks up
To the sky
It’s grounded and it tears away from the
Shell I occupy
Bound to what I remember as my
Heavenly body dies
