Cloud Nothings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I'm not right here
Feeling out on a limb because I'm out of my mind
But it's fine
I've had a lot of time alone
Disintegrating
Watching all of the hours with a bottle of wine
I couldn't see a way to go
I'm scared by failing
Just somebody alive ignoring all of the signs
That it's time
To make a repair of surroundings
To take a car out to the sea
With nothing ever in the shadows
And in nothing I believe
And now the lights are turning on here
My mind has fallen
And taken everything it knows now
About belonging
There's someone I would like to be if I could be but
The path is frightening
So when I fall away then I would like to see
I enter entirely
My world looks like I had only dreamed
Cutting up pieces of life and reality
I thought I knew what I could be
And now I'm there
And when I think about the time
I start to see again
Moving on but I still feel it
You're just a light in me now
We're moving on but I still feel it
You, you're a light in me now
The lyrics to Cloud Nothings’ song Enter Entirely explore themes of self-discovery, uncertainty, and growth. The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song as lead singer Dylan Baldi reflects on his life choices and how they have led him to feel “out of his mind.” The second verse delves deeper into this feeling as Baldi discusses spending time alone, drinking wine, and disintegrating. It appears that he is struggling with his sense of identity, which is echoed in the line, “There’s someone I would like to be if I could be, but the path is frightening.”
The chorus of the song, “To make a repair of surroundings / To take a car out to the sea / With nothing ever in the shadows / And in nothing I believe,” suggests that Baldi feels the need to make changes or repairs to his surroundings in order to feel whole again, and he is willing to take a risk to achieve this. Towards the end of the song, the lyrics become more uplifting as Baldi reflects on how far he has come and how he is still growing and evolving. The motif of light is used throughout the song, indicating that even in the darkest moments, there is hope.

I thought I knew a way to be
I believed I had a path and a manner in which to exist
But I'm not right here
However, I don't feel satisfied or content in my current state
Feeling out on a limb because I'm out of my mind
I feel vulnerable and exposed because I am in a state of chaos and confusion
But it's fine
Although unsettling, I have come to accept and find peace in my state of mind
I've had a lot of time alone
I have spent an extensive period by myself
Disintegrating
Feeling as though my mental and emotional state is gradually falling apart
Watching all of the hours with a bottle of wine
Spending time observing as life passes me by, while numbing my emotions with drinking
What a life
A statement of irony, acknowledging the sad and unsatisfactory nature of my current existence
I couldn't see a way to go
I couldn't envision a path forward for myself
I'm scared by failing
The fear of failing and not succeeding is paralyzing me
Just somebody alive ignoring all of the signs
Observing other people who seem to be moving forward and succeeding, despite ignoring the negative signs around them
That it's time
The feeling that it's time for me to make a change and move forward
To make a repair of surroundings
To begin repairing and improving my environment
To take a car out to the sea
To embark on a journey towards an unknown future
With nothing ever in the shadows
Without any hidden or unknown factors in my life
And in nothing I believe
Expressing a lack of faith or hope in anything
And now the lights are turning on here
Now that things are starting to change, there is a sense of clarity and hope
My mind has fallen
My emotions and thoughts have been heavily impacted by my struggles and challenges
And taken everything it knows now
And absorbed all the lessons and experiences to help in moving forward
About belonging
What it means to truly belong and feel fulfilled in life
There's someone I would like to be if I could be but
There is a version of myself I aspire to be, but it's difficult to achieve
The path is frightening
Acknowledging fear and uncertainty on the path towards self-improvement
So when I fall away then I would like to see
If I ever falter, I hope to gain clarity and understanding from that experience
I enter entirely
To fully and completely commit myself to this journey of self-discovery and fulfillment
My world looks like I had only dreamed
Life is starting to appear how I always imagined it would in my dreams
Cutting up pieces of life and reality
Breaking down and analyzing aspects of life and reality to better understand myself and my place in the world
And now I'm there
I've reached a place of fulfillment and contentment
And when I think about the time
Reflecting on the progress made and the time it took to get here
I start to see again
Gaining a new perspective and understanding of myself and the world
Moving on but I still feel it
Although I am moving forward, I still feel the struggles and challenges of the past
You're just a light in me now
Acknowledging the positive influence others have had on my journey
You, you're a light in me now
Reinforcing the idea that others have been instrumental in helping me achieve a better version of myself

This is what I have so far. If anyone can help that'd be cool:
Enter Entirely
I thought I knew a way to be
But I'm not right here
Been out on a limb because I'm out of my mind, but it's fine
I've had a lot of time alone, disintegrating
Watching all of the hours with a bottle of wine, what a life
I couldn't see a way to go
I'm scared by feeling
Just somebody alive enjoying all of the signs, that is time
To make a repair of surroundings
To take a car out to the sea
With nothing and everything shadows
And then nothing I'll believe
And now our lives are turning on (ooh)
The mind has fallen
I've taken everything enough now and I've been lying
The sun and I would like to dare if I could be but the path is frightening
So when I'm too far away and I would like to see us enter entirely
My world looks like I have only dreamed
Caught in the pieces and back from reality
I thought I knew what I could be
Now I'm there
And when I think about the times
I start to see again
solo
Moving on but I'm still feeling,
You're just a lie to me now (x8)
We're moving on but I'm still feeling, you
You're a lie to me now (x4)

This is what i got. Not sure about the lines where I put question marks.
I thought I knew a way to be
But I'm not right here
Been out on a limb because I'm out of my mind, but it's fine
I've had a lot of time alone, disintegrating
Watching all of the hours with a bottle of wine, what a life
I couldn't see a way to go
I'm scared by feeling
Just somebody alive ignoring all of the signs, that it's time
To make a repair of surroundings
To take a car out to the sea
?? With nothing and everything shadows
And in nothing I believe
And now the lights are turning on...here
My mind has fallen
and taken everything it knows now
about belonging
There's someone I would like to be if I could be but the path is frightening
?? So as I fall away then I would like to see us enter entirely
My world looks like I had only dreamed
Cutting up pieces of life and reality
I thought I knew what I could be
And now I'm there
And when I think about the time
I start to see again
Moving on but I still feel it
You're just a light in me now

This is about as close as I could get.
I thought I knew a way to be
But I'm not right here
Been out on a limb because I'm out of my mind
but it's fine
I've had a lot of time alone, disintegrating
Watching all of the hours with a bottle of wine
What a life
I couldn't see a way to go
I'm scared by feeling
Just somebody alive ignoring all of the signs
That it's time
To make a repair of surroundings
To take a car out to the sea
With nothing and ever in the shadows
And in nothing I believe
And now the lights are turning on...here
My mind has fallen
and taken everything it knows now
about belonging
There's someone I would like to be if I could be but
the path is frightening
So when I fall away then I would like to see
I enter entirely
My world looks like I had only dreamed
Cutting up pieces of life and reality
I thought I knew what I could be
And now I'm there
And when I think about the time
I start to see again
Moving on but I still feel it
You're just a light in me now
We're moving on but I still feel it
You, you're just a light in me now

Exceptional lyrics and song structure.
thewhatness
This song alone secures this album a spot on my Top 10 Albums of the year already. At every turn, Baldi raises the stakes by keeping composure but ramping up the intensity slightly over until it crescendos into that final guitar solo. This song is exceptionally adept at continually building.
Electric Zebra
Massive chorus, keen to hear the rest of the record!
Sumiko Suzuki
