Anthem
Clouds Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want something to think about
Nothing fancy, just new
I want something I can explore
Give me a bit of you
I want something to fill my time
I don't have much to do
I want something that I can hold
Give me a bit of you

Something about the way you are
Is different to anyone else
You make me forget myself
I'm doing things I've never done before
Things I couldn't tell my friends
And here I go again

I want something larger than life
Too big, too good to be true




I want something no-one else has
Give me a bit of you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Clouds's song Anthem speak to a universal desire for something more than what currently exists in one's life. The singer expresses a longing for something to fill their time and to think about that is new and different. They seem to be searching for an experience that will take them out of themselves and allow them to explore uncharted territory. The chorus captures the essence of the song's sentiment as the singer requests, "Give me a bit of you." This could be interpreted as a plea for connection with others or a desire for an unknown higher power.


The second verse delves into the connection between the singer and someone else, possibly a lover or a close friend. The relationship is described as being unique in some way and causing the singer to do things they have never done before. The line "Things I couldn't tell my friends" adds an element of secrecy and intimacy to the relationship that is intriguing but also somewhat unsettling. The final verse returns to the theme of searching for something larger than life, something that is beyond the mundane and ordinary. The request for "something no-one else has" reinforces the idea that the singer is seeking a unique and transformative experience.
