Clear Skies
Blueboy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was so happy to do nothing at all
It's not reality it's more like a fantasy
It's not the taking part it's the winning that counts
The way you act and what you say
Are positive in every way
Although the clouds are always here
You always see the skies as clear
And when the sun goes down you're inside my head
You've got the sense of mind to leave this day behind
We use to have such fun
We take the world on
The way I act and what I say
I'm negative I'm sad to say
Although you say the skies are clear
To me the clouds are alway here
The way you act and what you say
Are positive in every way
Although the clouds are always here
You always see the skies as clear
The way I act and what I say
I'm negative I'm sad to say
Although you say the skies are clear
To me the coulds are always here.
The lyrics of Blueboy's song "Clear Skies" seem to describe the difference in attitudes between two individuals in a relationship. One person is seemingly positive and optimistic while the other is more negative and downbeat. The first verse suggests that the negative person is happy to let the positive person take the lead and do what they want to do, even if it involves doing nothing at all. The second line, "it's not reality, it's more like a fantasy" could imply that the optimistic viewpoint is unrealistic or perhaps that the relationship itself is not based on reality.
The following verse refers to the idea that winning is more important than just taking part, which could be interpreted to mean that the positive person is more driven and competitive than their partner. Despite the presence of clouds or negativity in the relationship, the positive person always sees the skies as clear, while the negative person only sees clouds.
The second half of the song describes the positive person's ability to leave negativity behind and move on, while the negative person remains stuck in their negative thinking. The repetition of the phrase "although you say the skies are clear, to me the clouds are always here" reinforces the idea that the two people in the relationship have very different perspectives.
Overall, the lyrics of "Clear Skies" seem to capture the dynamic between two people who have different personalities and worldviews, and how that can affect their relationship.
