Above the Clouds
Finding Love Beyond the Clouds: Turin Brakes' Reflection on Life's Essence
Lyrics
one, two, three, four
Introductory counting, setting the stage.
up above the clouds, it is always a blue sky
Symbolizing positivity and hope, above life's challenges.
some will try a trick, but you just look them in the eyes
Resilience against deceit or manipulation, maintaining honesty.
what will they do, when the money runs dry?
Contemplating consequences when material wealth diminishes.
where will they go, when the jet planes can't fly?
Pondering the limitations of escape when faced with challenges.
when all is said and done i will love you
Declaring enduring love in the face of challenges.
when all is said and done i'll still love you
Reiterating love as a constant despite circumstances.
starring out at the stars, you feel helpless and so small
Feeling insignificant and powerless under the vastness of the universe.
nothing but closed down bars, no one helps you when you fall
Isolation and lack of support during difficult times.
one day this world will be returning to this prime
Envisioning a future return to an ideal state of the world.
we'll all be gone, there'll be no more roads to find
Anticipating the end of existence with no new paths to explore.
when all is said and done i will love you
Reaffirming love as a constant in the face of life's uncertainties.
when all is said and done i'll still love you
Emphasizing the enduring nature of love despite challenges.
the rain came again,
Introducing the cleansing nature of rain in the metaphorical dream.
cleaning the dream and it always makes me cry, oh my
Expressing emotional release when dreams are purified by rain.
something about the rain, it sends memories through my vains
Associating rain with triggering nostalgic memories.
memories always stain, you can't wash them down the drain
Highlighting the permanence of memories, resisting forgetfulness.
where will i go when my broken body dies?
Contemplating the afterlife and the destination of a broken body.
and what will i know when i look up to the skies?
Pondering knowledge and awareness after physical existence ends.
when all is said and done will you love me? (x2)
Pose of a question about the continuity of love after life concludes.
the rain came again, cleaning the dream
Reiteration of the purifying impact of rain on dreams.
and it always makes me cry, oh my
Emotional response to the cleansing nature of rain.
up above the clouds, it is always a blue sky
Reaffirming the enduring positivity above life's challenges.
