Heavy Cloud
Navigating Life's Scenic Roads: Van Chamberlain's 'Heavy Cloud' Meaning
Lyrics
Never dreamt I'd leave forever Among a few, at least remembered The ones I loved, our time together All the roads I used to know
Reflecting on leaving unexpectedly, being among a few people who will be remembered, reminiscing about loved ones and the familiar paths of the past.
Still look the same, although
Despite the passage of time, the physical appearance of the roads remains unchanged.
They don't lead where they used to go
The paths no longer lead to the same destinations as they did in the past.
If I find the truth about it
Expressing a desire to discover the truth about the current situation or circumstances.
I'll tell you where it's found
Promising to share the truth once it is found.
No one here seems to get around it It's so weird being back here
Observing a sense of strangeness upon returning, with difficulty in understanding the present environment.
It's hard to see it clear
Experiencing difficulty in perceiving the current situation clearly.
Is it all me or all the years?
Questioning whether the challenges or changes are a result of personal actions or the passage of time.
Holding out hope that
Maintaining optimism and anticipation for positive outcomes.
Good things can still happen
Expressing a hopeful belief that good things can still occur despite challenges.
Someday we'll be laughing
Envisioning a future where laughter and joy will replace current difficulties.
I can see it now
Picturing a positive future scenario.
Coming around the bend
Anticipating positive changes or opportunities coming soon.
Like a heavy cloud opening up again
Using the metaphor of a heavy cloud opening up again to symbolize a positive transformation or relief.
But nothing really lasts forever I thought different but now know better It's a short time we have together Longer is the scenic road
Reflecting on the impermanence of things, realizing that nothing lasts forever, and acknowledging the brevity of time spent together.
Took it far as it would go now
Exploring life to its fullest extent, reaching the end of a metaphorical road.
I'm outa gas, and on my last smoke
Feeling exhausted and reaching the end of a journey, both physically and metaphorically.
If you hear the truth about it
Expressing a desire to discover the truth about the current situation or circumstances, echoing the sentiment from line 4.
Make note of how it sounds
Encouraging others to take note of the truth once it is revealed.
Everyone here seems to dance around it Its so weird being gone
Observing a sense of strangeness upon being absent, witnessing others avoiding or ignoring certain truths.
You cant look back too long
Advising against dwelling too long on the past when everyone else is moving forward.
When everybody's moving on
Noting the inevitability of change and progression when others are moving on.
Holding out hope that
Maintaining optimism and anticipation for positive outcomes, repeating the sentiment from line 9.
Good things can still happen
Expressing a hopeful belief that good things can still occur despite challenges, repeating the sentiment from line 10.
Someday we'll be laughing
Envisioning a future where laughter and joy will replace current difficulties, repeating the sentiment from line 11.
I can see it now
Picturing a positive future scenario, repeating the sentiment from line 12.
Coming around the bend
Anticipating positive changes or opportunities coming soon, repeating the sentiment from line 13.
Like a heavy cloud opening up again
Using the metaphor of a heavy cloud opening up again to symbolize a positive transformation or relief, repeating the sentiment from line 14.
