Black Cloud
Embrace the Darkness: Defying the Black Cloud
Lyrics
These shadows, they haunt me,
Feeling haunted by shadows, a sense of darkness or negativity.
These voices in my head, foreboding
Hearing unsettling voices in the mind, indicating a sense of foreboding.
This black cloud, it haunts me,
Reference to a persistent and oppressive negative force symbolized as a black cloud.
Its presence takes a hold upon me
The impact of the black cloud is taking a strong hold on the person.
Now I'm rising up like the phoenix,
Metaphorical rise from challenges, akin to a phoenix's rebirth.
If you try and stop me now, you're never gonna
Defiance against obstacles, a warning that hindering won't end well.
Make it out alive (make it out alive)
Emphasizing the difficulty of surviving the challenges.
Make it out alive, no
Reiteration that survival is uncertain in the face of adversity.
You tried to wipe the earth clean of me,
Addressing attempts to erase the person's existence.
You tried to take away everything,
Resisting efforts to take away everything valuable.
Now I'm taking flight (taking flight)
Symbolic ascent or escape, represented as taking flight.
I'm at the edge, I'm seeing the light
Being on the brink of a new phase, possibly enlightenment.
Exposed now, they see me
Feeling exposed, where true self is visible to others.
And everything I am, no hiding,
No longer hiding, embracing authenticity.
Feel no shame, uprising
A rising without shame, finding enlightenment even in darkness.
The darkness can be so enlightening
Highlighting the paradox of darkness being enlightening.
Now I'm rising up like the phoenix,
Reiteration of the metaphorical rise, like a phoenix.
If you try and stop me now, you're never gonna
Warning against attempts to hinder the ascent.
Make it out alive (make it out alive)
Underlining the challenging nature of survival.
Make it out alive, no
Reaffirmation that survival is uncertain and challenging.
You tried to wipe the earth clean of me,
Recalling attempts to erase the person's existence.
You tried to take away everything,
Reaffirming resistance against losing everything.
Now I'm taking flight (taking flight)
Symbolic representation of moving forward, taking flight.
I'm at the edge, I'm seeing the light
Being at the edge of a transformative experience, seeing the light.
Now I don't care about the shit that used to bother me,
Expressing indifference towards past concerns.
All my worries and fears crumble before me
Gaining strength as worries and fears crumble.
Why care about all of the petty crap that people say?
Questioning the importance of petty criticisms from others.
Stand up, dust yourself off and fly away!
Encouragement to stand up, overcome challenges, and move on.
Now I'm rising up like the phoenix,
Reiteration of the metaphorical rise, resembling a phoenix.
If you try and stop me now, you're never gonna
Warning against hindering the upward journey.
Make it out alive (make it out alive)
Emphasizing the difficulty of surviving challenges.
Make it out alive, no
Reiteration that survival is uncertain in the face of adversity.
You tried to wipe the earth clean of me,
Recalling attempts to erase the person's existence.
You tried to take away everything,
Reaffirming resistance against losing everything.
Now I'm taking flight (taking flight)
Symbolic representation of moving forward, taking flight.
I'm at the edge, I'm seeing the light
Being at the edge of a transformative experience, seeing the light.
