Fantastic Tear
Clouds Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've sat here worrying for too long
Wondering what it was that you were doing wrong
Got an unhealthy respect for my old man
Love everything you do

Funny, I love it when you don't hear me
So I can shed a fantastic tear
When you told me the big news
I felt so lonely but my friends were amused
Got an unnatural respect for my old man
Love what you put me through

Funny, I love it when you let me down




So I can shed a fantastic tear
For the way you make me feel

Overall Meaning

The song "Fantastic Tear" by Clouds is a melancholic tune that reflects on the complexity of love and relationships. In the opening lines of the song, the singer admits to worrying for too long about what their partner may have been doing wrong. This line hints at a sort of paranoia or anxiety that can build up in relationships, where one partner may begin to overthink and create problems where there may not be any. The following line about having an unhealthy respect for their old man adds to this sense of anxiety, as though the singer is worried about repeating the mistakes of their parents.


However, despite this worry and anxiety, the singer still loves everything their partner does. This seems to be the crux of the song - that sometimes love is complicated and messy, and we can still love someone despite their flaws. The line "Funny, I love it when you don't hear me" is particularly telling, as it suggests that the singer may not feel comfortable expressing their love directly to their partner. This could be due to their insecurities or their fear of rejection.


The second verse continues with this theme of complicated love, as the singer admits to feeling lonely upon hearing some "big news" from their partner. Despite this loneliness, their friends were amused by the news, indicating that the singer may feel isolated in their feelings. Like in the first verse, the line about having an unnatural respect for their old man adds to the sense of anxiety present in the song. The final line, "Love what you put me through," reinforces the idea that love can be both beautiful and painful.
