Pattern Walks
Cloud Nothings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nothing in the air is moving
I feel a chill and try to keep my body walking
Another person, looks like he's right behind me
I'm moving forward while I keep the past around me
Pattern walks
Pattern walks
I'm slow at times
That leaves a place for no improvements
A little piece of ?
Another person just has to be right behind me
I'm moving forward while I keep the past around me
Pattern walks, Pattern walks
Pattern walks in the moon tonight and
Pattern walks, Pattern walks
Pattern walks, Pattern walks
I don't feel bored and worried
I just feel strange
Coming up the ?
Thought that I could change
I thought, I thought
I thought I never would remember
Would remember
I thought
Cloud Nothings' song Pattern Walks is a reflection on the sensation of feeling trapped in a cyclical pattern. The lyrics describe a feeling of stagnation and discomfort, as if the singer is unable to escape from the past and move forward. The opening line, "There's something wrong here, nothing in the air is moving", sets the tone for the song's exploration of stagnancy. The use of the word "pattern" throughout the song emphasizes the cyclical nature of the singer's experience. Despite the feeling of being trapped, the singer is still moving forward, highlighting the paradoxical nature of feeling stuck in a pattern while attempting to break free of it.
The lyrics also touch on themes of memory and nostalgia. The line "I'm moving forward while I keep the past around me" highlights the difficulty in letting go of memories and experiences from the past. The singer seems to be caught between a desire to move on and a reluctance to leave the past behind. The repetition of the phrase "I thought" towards the end of the song may be interpreted as a reflection on the singer's past decisions and their consequences. The line "Thought that I could change" suggests that the singer is grappling with some unresolved issues or traumas.

Rock n roll ain't dead. Just laying low til all this electronic music blows over. Just like the late 80s early 90s.
