Chasing Clouds
Bad Computer Danyka Nadeau Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I’ve seen so many people go
Had to make it my own
It's easier for me to be alone
So who are you, keep cutting through
Claiming you're not like the other guys
And only if I could, give you a chance Show me that you mean it, will feel some type of way
Oh
Why do you keep chasing clouds?
Better leave before I feel something
Oh
Before I go and change my mind
I say oh
Why do you keep chasing clouds?
Better yet why do I think I want this too?
Oh
You make me want to change my mind
Something must be real wrong with me
Keep wanting just to see you show up at my door
Et même quand je suis froide un peu indifférente
Tu continues tout de même de me montrer tes efforts
I’m trying to keep
My heart in peace
I just can’t think bout the way that I feel
It’s too hard to trust
I’ll mess it up
I just can't risk to be falling like this
Oh Why do you keep chasing clouds?
Better leave before I feel something
Oh
Before I go and change my mind
I say oh
Why do you keep chasing clouds?
Better yet why do I think I want this too?
Oh
You make me wanna change my mind
The lyrics of Bad Computer's song "Chasing Clouds" delve into the complexities of emotional vulnerability and the struggle to open up and trust in the face of past struggles and heartbreak. The opening lines reveal a sense of isolation and resilience stemming from coming from a broken home and witnessing numerous departures of people. This experience has led the singer to establish a comfort in solitude, finding it easier to navigate life alone rather than risk further hurt and disappointment from others.
The recurring question posed in the chorus, "Why do you keep chasing clouds?" serves as a metaphor for pursuing something intangible or fleeting, potentially leading to pain or confusion. The singer questions the motives behind the romantic pursuit and internal conflict arises as they grapple with conflicting desires to both resist and embrace these feelings. The uncertainty and hesitation are evident in the lyrics as the singer contemplates whether to guard their emotions or take a chance on vulnerability.
The internal struggle intensifies as the singer reflects on the persistent desire to see the object of affection appear at their doorstep, despite the walls they have erected to shield their heart. The language shifts between English and French, adding a layer of depth to the emotional turmoil described. The singer acknowledges the constant battle between their guarded nature and the longing for genuine connection, highlighting the internal conflict and vulnerability present in the complex dynamics of relationships.
Ultimately, the lyrics convey a sense of self-preservation and fear of being hurt again, juxtaposed with the yearning for emotional intimacy and the temptation to let down one's guard. The repeated questioning and introspection in the chorus underscore the internal dialogue and conflicting emotions that come with navigating love and trust after experiencing pain. The song captures the delicate balance between self-protection and the desire for emotional fulfillment, portraying a poignant portrayal of vulnerability and the complexities of human relationships.
Line by Line Meaning
Came from broken home
Originated from a dysfunctional family background
I’ve seen so many people go
Experienced numerous departures of individuals
Had to make it my own
Had to become self-reliant
It's easier for me to be alone
Find solace in solitude
So who are you, keep cutting through
Questioning the authenticity of your intentions
Claiming you're not like the other guys
Asserting uniqueness compared to previous suitors
And only if I could, give you a chance
Considering the possibility of opening up to you
Show me that you mean it, will feel some type of way
Prove your sincerity, evoke genuine emotions in me
Oh
Expressing exasperation
Why do you keep chasing clouds?
Questioning the pursuit of an elusive dream
Better leave before I feel something
Prefer avoiding emotional entanglement
Before I go and change my mind
Prior to altering my perspective
Something must be real wrong with me
Speculating about internal issues affecting behavior
Keep wanting just to see you show up at my door
Desire to witness your presence unexpectedly
Et même quand je suis froide un peu indifférente
Even when I am cold and somewhat indifferent
Tu continues tout de même de me montrer tes efforts
You still make an effort to show me your intentions
I’m trying to keep
Attempting to maintain
My heart in peace
Keep my emotions stable
I just can’t think bout the way that I feel
Struggling to process my emotions
It’s too hard to trust
Finding it challenging to trust
I’ll mess it up
Afraid of ruining the situation
I just can't risk to be falling like this
Cannot afford to become emotionally invested like this
You make me wanna change my mind
You create a desire for me to reconsider my stance
