Black Clouds
Navigating Love's Storm: Andreas Moe's Black Clouds
Lyrics
VERSE 1
Introduction to the first verse.
Some days my mind makes it's own kind of weather
Expressing the variability of the speaker's thoughts and emotions.
I can't get used to what's real
Struggling to adapt to reality.
When I see some fragments of you in another
Noticing reminders of someone (you) in others.
I feel a change in the wind
Sensing a change in the atmosphere, possibly a metaphor for emotional shifts.
Shadows appear on my skin
Feeling a physical manifestation of emotional turmoil, represented by shadows on the skin.
CHORUS
Transition to the chorus.
And I float away on black clouds
Describing the emotional state using the metaphor of floating on black clouds.
They're all I have of you now
These clouds represent memories or thoughts associated with the person (you).
And I don't plan on coming down anytime soon
Expressing a desire to stay in this emotional state for a while.
Without your love there's nothing left to do
Acknowledging a lack of purpose or motivation without the person's love.
But float away on Black Clouds
Reiteration of floating away on black clouds as a coping mechanism.
VERSE 2
Beginning of the second verse.
Just when I think that I'm turning a corner
Experiencing setbacks and returning to a difficult emotional state.
I'm back in the eye of the storm
Using the metaphor of being in the eye of the storm to convey emotional turbulence.
I cover my heart cos i know it will suffer
Protecting oneself emotionally due to the anticipation of suffering.
When thoughts of you swim in my mind
Being overwhelmed by thoughts of the person (you).
There's just no place that I can hide
Feeling a lack of refuge from these thoughts.
CHORUS
Transition to the second chorus.
So I float away on black clouds
Repeating the motif of floating on black clouds as a means of emotional escape.
They're all I have of you now
Emphasizing that these clouds are now the only connection to the person (you).
And I don't plan on coming down anytime soon
Expressing a desire to remain in this emotional state.
Without your love there's nothing I can do
Acknowledging a sense of helplessness without the person's love.
But float away on Black Clouds
Reiteration of floating away on black clouds as a coping mechanism.
MID8
Beginning of the bridge (MID8).
And it's pouring down
Intensifying emotional turmoil, represented by the pouring down of rain inside the mind.
It won't stop
-keeps pouring down
-Inside my mind
-It won't stop
-Keeps pouring down
-So I float away on black clouds
Reiteration of floating on black clouds as a coping mechanism.
They're all I have of you now
Emphasizing that these clouds are now the only connection to the person (you).
And I don't plan on coming down anytime soon
Expressing a desire to remain in this emotional state.
Without your love there's nothing left to lose
Acknowledging a sense of emptiness without the person's love.
Without your love there's nothing left to do
Reiteration of a lack of purpose or motivation without the person's love.
Bu tfloat away on black clouds
