Understand At All
Cloud Nothings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My eye, my eye is starting in a room
My hands, my hands are reaching for you
Far if I found ? room
Where I, where I
I thought I'm standing up, I thought I'm standing up
And I thought I'm standing up, and I thought I'm standing up
And I thought I'm standing up, and I thought I'm standing up
You're so ?
So, but I am full of you
It's ?
Nothing without you
I soon thought I was ? to be gone
Your words, the ? but I know cause I
Where I, where I, where I, where I
I thought I'm standing up, I thought I'm standing up
And I thought I'm standing up, and I thought I'm standing up
And I thought I'm standing up, and I thought I'm standing up
And I thought I'm standing up, and I thought I'm standing up
The lyrics to Cloud Nothings' song "Understand At All" seem to be about the confusion and disorientation one can feel when grappling with intense emotion. The opening lines describe the singer as having their head to "something" in a room, with their eye starting to focus and their hands reaching out. The mention of "something" and "? room" creates a sense of ambiguity, as if the singer is struggling to make sense of their surroundings.
The repetition of the phrase "I thought I'm standing up" throughout the rest of the song suggests that the singer is trying to convince themselves that they're stable and in control, but the repetition also creates a sense of instability and unease. The line "You're so ?, so, but I am full of you" hints at a complicated relationship, where the other person is perhaps aloof or distant, but the singer is still consumed by their feelings.
Overall, "Understand At All" is a song about the difficulty of processing and communicating emotion, and the way that strong emotions can leave us feeling unmoored and unsure of ourselves.

I had my head to ? in a room
I was lost in thought in a room
My eye, my eye is starting in a room
I feel something piercing in my eye while being in a room
My hands, my hands are reaching for you
I want to reach out to you with my hands
Far if I found ? room
I feel distant in this room
Where I, where I
I wonder where I am
I thought I'm standing up, I thought I'm standing up
I believed I am in control
And I thought I'm standing up, and I thought I'm standing up
I thought I am capable of everything
You're so ?
I cannot comprehend what you're saying
So, but I am full of you
Although I don't understand, I still feel connected to you
It's ?
It's empty
Nothing without you
I feel like there is nothing without you
I soon thought I was ? to be gone
I felt like I was about to disappear
Your words, the ? but I know cause I
I can't hear what you're saying clearly, but I understand your intent
Where I, where I, where I, where I
I still wonder where I am
I thought I'm standing up, I thought I'm standing up
I still believe I am in control
And I thought I'm standing up, and I thought I'm standing up
I still think I can accomplish anything
