Shadow
Cloud Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see the world but people tell me I'm blind
I scream but they don't know what I hide
I feel the bullets coming into my skin
One rule, don't you ever make a sin

Oh and I see they're on their way
I can't hold it in, no, not today
I see they're on their way, I feel, I feel, no, not today

Feel the shadows of the clouds
Here the sad story of the secret in a crowd, in a crowd

I know the shadows on their way
I know that ignorance is not, oh not the way
But I see the, I see the, not today

I feel every tear gone into your job
I know that everyone is talking about this mob
I hear the shouts of agony
But I don't know how to get them free

Oh and I see they're on their way
I feel like I can't hold it in, no not today
I see there on there way, I feel, I feel, no not today

Feel the the shadows of the clouds
Here the sad story of the secret in a crowd, in a crowd

I know the shadows on their way.
I know that ignorance is not, oh not the way
But I see the. I see the, I see, no today, not to today

I see the world but people tell me that I am blind
I scream but they don't know what I hide
I feel every bullet coming into my skin
One rule, don't you ever make a sin

Oh and I see they're on their way
I feel like I can't hold it in, no not today
I see there on there way, I feel, I feel, no not today

Feel the shadows of the clouds
Here the sad story of the secret in a crowd, in a crowd

I know the shadows on their way




I know that ignorance is not, oh not the way
But I see the, I see the, I see the shadows

Overall Meaning

The song "Shadow" by Clouds is a poignant exploration of the disconnect between one's personal experiences and the way society perceives them. The opening lines, "I see the world but people tell me I'm blind / I scream but they don't know what I hide," reveal a sense of frustration and isolation that comes from not feeling heard or understood. The imagery of feeling bullets enter one's skin creates a visceral sensation of pain, which is further amplified by the repeated refrain of "not today," suggesting a sense of impending doom and helplessness.


The chorus, "Feel the shadows of the clouds / Here the sad story of the secret in a crowd," is particularly powerful in its depiction of someone struggling to express their inner torments while surrounded by others who remain oblivious. The metaphor of the shadows of the clouds evokes a sense of fleetingness and impermanence, as well as the idea of hidden truths that are constantly shifting and elusive. The reference to a "sad story" further underscores the sense of tragedy and unfairness that pervades the song.

Wow... Ok, so the explosion blew her BACK into the plane, because TECHNICALLY, if you try to rationalize with physics, the plane that blew up was still being propelled forward, right? Except NO, NOT right, because she landed on the floor of the plane, instead of falling back OUT of the hole. This movie is gonna be fuck'n AMAZING...



...



...LY STUPID!



RC G

The movie was already well beyond amazingly stupid before the exploding plane trampoline scene. Starting with :

A) a “baby is the secret package” revelation
B) the baby never makes a single noise while it was the unknown package, but the instant it is discovered it suddenly starts crying
C) mommy is on the plane with said baby, why again?
D) Gremlin revelation
E) mommy crawls along the underside of a flying WWII bomber several miles up like Lara Croft from Tomb Raider.

Too much more nonsensical BS to mention, but you get the point. 😆

The first 15-20 minutes of the movie were amazing. The scenery, the plot- the soundtrack especially was incredible. Then came the scene where she fell out the plane and I question what went wrong.

J Rotela

Absolutly nothing.

This movie opens up so strong, the mood, the score, the atmosphere, it's all perfect... but damn does it get weird, by the end of the movie it's more of a comedy than anything else

Good Game

Interesting. That's the impression the trailer gives, awesome concept, nice buildup, then muddled nonsense with all the actual logic of a dream.

Falls from plane, hits Japanese plane, explosion sends her flying BACK into the bomber, she is somehow still alive.

@Good Game that's deliberate. I haven't seen it in 2 years but I watched it several times. It's really unique, first and second half are entirely different but both really good. Recommend it, one of my faves
