Cloud 9
Afrojack & Chico Rose Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah
Yeah

Yeah I tried hard but I couldn't replace you
Tattoed in my heart with a razor
Know we fought a lot but we made it right
Diamonds on your neck so they know you're mine
Hit up the city in the week, yeah
Penthouse all the way up
Air fresh but we love at different pace, yeah
Took ya to the moon but it wasn't enough
All you did was fade when the times got hard

And now you're far away
I can't bring it back
Find myself thinking, what if you stayed
And you didn't pack your bags?

Ooh, yeah
Would we be on Cloud 9?
Would we be on Cloud 9?
Lovin' all night
Lovin', lovin' all night
How did you try?
How did, how did you try?
Would we play nice?
Would we be on Cloud 9? (Yeah)

I saw you called me, five in the mornin'
You sayin' sorry or are you lettin' me know
That you're with somebody else and you gettin' high?
Tryna make me jealous, gets worse everytime

Every change that you make, it's too late
Now you drinkin' all night
To pass time, change mind

Hard and now you're far away
I can't bring it back
Find myself thinking, what if you stayed
And you didn't pack your bags?

Ooh, yeah
Would we be on Cloud 9?
Would we be on Cloud 9?
Lovin' all night
Lovin', lovin' all night
How did you try?
How did, how did you try?
Would we play nice?
Would we be on Cloud 9? (Yeah)

You say you want some space, but you
Already dipped, hundred miles away
We should stop communicatin'
'Cause this ain't what you want, I wanna

Be on Cloud 9
Would we be on Cloud 9?
Lovin' all night
Lovin', lovin' all night
How did you try?
How did, how did you try?
Would we play nice?
Would we be on Cloud 9? (Yeah)

Be on Cloud 9
Would we be on Cloud 9?
Lovin' all night
Lovin', lovin' all night
How did you try?
How did, how did you try?




Would we play nice?
Would we be on Cloud 9? (Yeah)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Cloud 9" by Afrojack & Chico Rose revolve around the theme of longing and reminiscing about a past relationship. The song explores the emotions and questions that arise when reflecting on a lost love and wondering if things could have been different.


In the first paragraph, the lyrics express the singer's acknowledgment that despite their efforts, they couldn't replace their former lover. The line "Tattooed in my heart with a razor" suggests that the memories of this person are deeply ingrained but also painful. The mention of fighting and making things right implies that the relationship had its ups and downs. The lyrics also mention diamonds on the lover's neck as a symbol of possession and pride.


The second paragraph reflects on the aftermath of the breakup. The lyrics mention going out and living it up in the city, being in luxurious penthouses, but feeling a disconnect in the pace at which they love. Despite trying to make the relationship work and going above and beyond for their ex-lover, the person ultimately faded away when times got tough. There is a sense of loss and regret in these lines.


The third paragraph continues the introspection and longing for what could have been. The lyrics reference a phone call at five in the morning, suggesting a moment of vulnerability or confession. The singer wonders if the call is an apology or an attempt to make them jealous by mentioning being with someone else and getting high. The lyrics express the pain of knowing that the ex-lover has moved on and is changing without them.


The final paragraph acknowledges that the relationship is over and that they should stop communicating. The lyrics imply that the singer wants to let go and move on, even though they still wish to be on "Cloud 9" with their ex-lover. Ultimately, the song creates a melancholic atmosphere, reflecting on the past and pondering the possibilities if the relationship had taken a different path.
