Grey Clouds
Alter. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From himself
Voice in his head
Can't help
Fight fight last night tears in the room
Toxic lost it consume
Tiptoes on ice break down
Feel the waves at night might drown
Through chaos mind escaped
Grey clouds a chip on his shoulder
Break down he's looking for closure
Rain clouds he knows he's a loner
Break down he's looking for closure
Deep Secrets
In his shell
Voice in his head
Made hell
Fight like last 4 tex's were his exes
Suppress sex depression
Strip show was nice Lights out
She craves his type rides out
Numbness in his brain
Can't explain the pain
Grey clouds a chip on his shoulder
Break down he's looking for closure
Rain clouds he knows he's a loner
Break down he's looking for closure
He don't know where he wants wants to go
Season late leaves will grow
Will he stay or walk will he stay or walk to cope
Believe he will but you see he don't
Grey clouds a chip on his shoulder
Break down he's looking for closure
Rain clouds he knows he's a loner
Pray now for sun in October
The lyrics of Alter.'s song "Grey Clouds" delve into the internal struggles and emotional turmoil experienced by the singer. The song portrays a sense of inner conflict and a search for closure. The line "Keep secrets from himself, voice in his head, can't help" suggests that the singer is battling with his own thoughts and emotions, possibly suppressing certain aspects of himself. This internal struggle becomes more apparent in the lines "Fight, fight last night tears in the room, toxic lost it consume," indicating a destructive pattern that has taken control of his life.
The lyrics also touch upon themes of loneliness and isolation, as seen in the lines "Grey clouds a chip on his shoulder, break down he's looking for closure, rain clouds he knows he's a loner." The use of cloud imagery symbolizes his emotional state, with grey and rain clouds representing his feelings of sadness, heaviness, and a burden he carries. The search for closure is mentioned multiple times, suggesting a desire to find resolution and relief from these internal battles.
The second verse introduces the idea of deep secrets and the negative impact they have on the singer's mental state. The line "Voice in his head made hell" implies that these secrets contribute to his personal hell, further emphasizing the internal struggle he faces. There is also a mention of past relationships, with the line "Fight like last 4 tex's were his exes," hinting at unresolved issues contributing to his emotional instability.
The final verse portrays the singer's indecisiveness regarding his future, questioning whether he will stay or walk away to cope with his emotions. The mention of leaves growing and the sun in October suggests a sense of hope or possibility for change, but it remains uncertain if the singer truly believes in this positive outcome.
Overall, "Grey Clouds" explores the complexities of the singer's emotional state, his search for closure, and his battles with inner demons.
