Hey Now Now
The Cloud Room Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey now now, they'll find you when you're sleeping now now
they'll reach in and grab what you're dreamin' now now
cut it up and slip it back in, and I know, and I know, and I know it

Hey now now, the smallest things are crushing me now
the crush crush crush is so comforting now
did the earth just slam in the sun, and I know, and I know, and I know it

Won't undo their past by walking and talking backwards

Hey now now, we're goin' down down
and we ride the bus there and pay the bus fare
or we find a new reason, a new way of living
and we breathe it in and try to dream again

Hey now now, we're goin' down down
and we ride the bus there and pay the bus fare
or we find a new reason, a new way of living
and we breathe it in and try to dream again

Hey now now, they'll find you when you're sleeping, now now
they'll reach in and grab what you're dreamin', now now
cut it up and slip it back in and I know, and I know, and I know it

Hey now now, the smallest things are crushing me now
the crush crush crush is so comforting now
did the earth just slam in the sun, and I know, and I know, and I know it

Won't undo their past by walking and talking backwards

Hey now now, we're goin' down down
and we ride the bus there and pay the bus fare
or we find a new reason, a new way of living
and we shout it out and try to dream again

Hey now now, we're goin' down down
and we ride the bus there and pay the bus fare
or we find a new reason, a new way of living
and we shout it out and try to dream again

la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la lalalalaaaaa

Hey now now, we're goin' down down
and we ride the bus there and pay the bus fare
or we find a new reason, a new way of living
and we breathe it in and try to dream again

Hey now now, we're goin' down down
and we ride the bus there and pay the bus fare
or we find a new reason, a new way of living
and we shout out in and try to dream again

Hey now now, we're goin' down down
and we ride the bus there and pay the bus fare
or we find a new reason, a new way of living
and we shout out in and try to dream again

Overall Meaning

The Cloud Room's "Hey Now Now" is a thought-provoking song about the struggle to maintain one's dreams and hope amidst the crushing realities of life. The lyrics suggest a fear of having one's dreams taken away, with the lines "Hey now now, they'll find you when you're sleeping now now / they'll reach in and grab what you're dreamin' now now / cut it up and slip it back in, and I know, and I know, and I know it." The song also acknowledges the weight of small things and the comfort found in destruction, with the lines "Hey now now, the smallest things are crushing me now / the crush crush crush is so comforting now."


The chorus repeats the phrase "we're goin' down down," suggesting a descent or a loss of hope, but also offers the possibility of finding a new reason to live and dream again. The last two lines of the song, "and we shout it out and try to dream again," leave the listener with a sense of determination and resilience. Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of fear and uncertainty, but also hope and perseverance in the face of adversity.

I heard this song for the first and last time sometime in 2006-2008 when it played in a commercial. Have had the chorus stuck in my head since. FINALLY FOUND THE SONG ALL THESE YEARS LATER AND ITS AS GOOD AS I REMEMBER all those years ago as a child!

Me encanta esta canción. La escuché en el anuncio de Pepsi, lo que le dio notoriedad. La voz del vocalista me recuerda un poco a Bowie.
