Fault
Fault's the reason why we point the gun
(Point the gun)
And when we give love
Love must be the reason why we run
Why we run

One step closer

You and I get older
We will never ever wake up
Give me closure
When you're at my shoulder
We will never ever wake up
One step closer
You and I get older
We will never ever wake up
We will never ever wake up

Feels like doin' time up on Cloud Nine
You and me, we make up our own minds
But that's fine
'Cause we're up on Cloud Nine
Fill our heart with bottles of cheap wine
We don't mind
'Cause we're up on Cloud Nine
(Up on Cloud Nine)
'Cause we're up on Cloud Nine
We don't mind

Fault
Fault's the reason why we point the gun
(Point the gun)
And when we give love
Love must be the reason why we're young
Why we're young

One step closer
You and I get older
We will never ever wake up
Give me closure
When you're at my shoulder
We will never ever wake up
One step closer
You and I get older
We will never ever wake up
We will never ever wake up

Feels like doin' time up on Cloud Nine
You and me, we make up our own minds
But that's fine
'Cause we're up on Cloud Nine
Fill our heart with bottles of cheap wine
We don't mind
'Cause we're up on Cloud Nine

('Cause we're up on Cloud Nine)
'Cause we're up on Cloud Nine
('Cause we're up on Cloud Nine)

Feels like doin' time up on Cloud Nine
You and me, we make up our own minds
But that's fine
'Cause we're up on Cloud Nine
Fill our heart with bottles of cheap wine
We don't mind
'Cause we're up on Cloud Nine
'Cause we're up on Cloud Nine
You and me, we make up our own minds
We don't mind
'Cause we're up on Cloud Nine
You and me, we make up our own minds
But that's fine
'Cause we're up on Cloud Nine
Fill our heart with bottles of cheap wine

We don't mind
'Cause we're up on Cloud Nine

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of ADEN x OLSON's song Cloud 9 deal with the idea that human nature often leads to conflict and blame (as "fault's the reason why we point the gun"), but also that love is a powerful force that can inspire us to move forward (as "when we give love, love must be the reason why we run"). The song's title references a state of blissful happiness, which the singer and their partner have achieved despite any obstacles they may face. The repeated refrain, "Feels like doin' time up on Cloud Nine," suggests that the singer is aware that their happiness may not be easily sustainable in the long run.

The verses of the song reference the passage of time and the inevitability of aging, with lines like "One step closer, You and I get older, We will never ever wake up." The sense of urgency in these lines means that while the singer is currently happy, they also understand the importance of making the most of their time together. The song's bridge repeats the phrase "You and me, we make up our own minds," underscoring the idea that the singer and their partner are in control of their happiness and that they will continue on their own path, even if others try to steer them in a different direction.
