Lyrics

Every cloud is a silver line

Clouds represent hope or positivity, suggesting that every negative situation has a positive aspect.

But you still need the moon to shine

The support or influence of something significant, like the moon, is necessary for the positive aspect to shine through.

And we don't care about it

A disregard or lack of concern for this necessity.

Is there something that you forgot

Questioning if there's a forgotten essential element or aspect.

And you wish you could stop the clock

Wishing to halt time, possibly to prevent something negative or to hold on to a positive moment.

Because you can't live without it

Expressing an inability to live without the essential element or situation.


We don't have a clue

A lack of understanding or knowledge.

'Cause we're three miles high

Feeling detached from reality or normalcy, being in an elevated or altered state.

And we rot as dust and feathers fly

Decay or deterioration while in an elevated state, contrasting with the idea of flying gracefully.

And we can't come down

An inability to return to a normal state without consequences.

'Cause we'd burst our little bubble on the ground

Fear of losing the special state or protection and facing the harsh reality.

Whoa oh oh


Everyone has a wall to climb

Everyone faces obstacles or challenges to overcome.

But we don't really have the time

A lack of willingness or availability to address these challenges.

To give a who ha about it

Not caring about the challenges or obstacles.

And your life is a Russian doll

Comparing life to a complex and layered construct.

You were given when you were small

Received a complex structure or understanding from childhood.

And they all inside you

All these complex elements are within the individual.


We don't have a clue

'Cause we're three miles high

Lack of understanding or insight due to being in an elevated state.

And we rot as dust and feathers fly

Continuation of decay or deterioration while in the elevated state.

And we can't come down

Inability to return to a normal state without consequences, risking losing the elevated state.

'Cause we'd burst our little bubble on the ground, oh

Reinforcing the fear of losing the special state and facing reality.


And we won't come down

Refusal to come back to reality until reaching a breaking point.

Til we hit the ground

Commitment to remaining in the elevated state until a crash or sudden downfall.


'Cause we're three miles high

Reiteration of being in an elevated state, experiencing decay, and an inability to return to normalcy.

And we rot as dust and feathers fly

Continued decay or deterioration while being in the elevated state.

And we can't come down

Repeating the inability to return to a normal state without consequences.

'Cause we'd burst our little bubble on the ground, whoa oh

Reinforcing the fear of losing the special state and facing reality.
