Cloud
Cleo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm not the pain inside of me
I'm not the joy I get to see
I'm never what I used to be
Life is setting me free
You like to change what's wrong with me
But I like the feel of being me
I like the freedom that it brings
I won't confine myself to this

This truth you think that you have found
Try pushing me around
I'll knock you out, it's my round
Just crawl back to where you've been found
You just can't reach my cloud
And I don't wanna come down
I don't wanna come down
My deal is too profound
And you can't bring this down
No, you ain't bringing me down
I don't wanna come down
No, I'm not coming down
This shit is real profound
It's where I like beat down

I am the wolf that live within
And I just can't live the lie you live
Perfection is not my thing, you see
Keep changing constantly
'Cause I'm not just pain inside of me
And I'm not just joy I get to see
I'm here to be all I can be
Life always find a way to be

This truth you think that you have found
Won't pushing me around
I'll knock you out, it's my round
Just crawl back to where you've been found
You just can't reach my cloud
And I don't wanna come down
No, I don't wanna come down
No, I'm not coming down
My deal is too profound
And you ain't bring this down
You ain't bringing me down
This shit is real profound
If you don't wanna drown
Crawl back to where you've been found
Crawl back to where you've been found
Crawl back to where you've been found




You just can't reach my cloud
And I don't wanna come down
