Immorta
Clouds Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am not you reincarnate
I was never la belle dame
I have mercy and compassion
Unlike you, immorta

I have sympathy and caring
I am not so cruel and cold
I have warm and living flesh
Unlike you, immorta

I have heard your ragged breath
I have seen you in the mirror
I will fight you to the death
I am not you, immorta

I have heard your blooded breath
(Felt it on me)
I have seen you in the mirror
(Behind me)
I will fight you to the death




(Be gone from me)
I am not you, immorta

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Immorta" by Clouds talk about two different characters - the singer and the character of Immorta. The poet is drawing a clear distinction between the two by highlighting the qualities that differentiate them. The singer assures Immorta that they are not the same person and never were. The poet establishes this by saying "I am not you reincarnated." Additionally, the singer emphasizes that they do not share the same traits as Immorta, who is cold, cruel, and lacks compassion.


Further, the singer takes pride in their own kind and warm personality, which differentiates them from Immorta. They say, "I have sympathy and caring, and I am not so cruel and cold. I have warm and living flesh, unlike you, Immorta." Here we see that the singer is not only establishing their differences but also insisting upon them.


Finally, the poem talks about the singer's determination to fight Immorta. The singer has seen and heard Immorta's presence around them, which frightens them, and they persistently try to distance themselves from Immorta. The poet reinforces their resolve, saying, "I will fight you to the death, be gone from me. I am not you, Immorta."


Overall, the song is a powerful celebration of individuality and the importance of embracing one's own qualities while rejecting and fighting against toxic traits and influences.

I had this album on at home last weekend when my younger cousins visited. By the end of the day they'd become Clouds, Hummingbirds, Falling Joys, Died Pretty, Spy vs Spy you name it fans. :) 

Still don't believe this album's 24 years old.

@w00denstar

I can'[ tell you how happy I am to have finally tracked it down ta!

@w00denstar

I swear they were called Gen 11?? Had this compilation take from Select magazine called Maximum Bliss and spent bloody years looking for this song!!!

@altongatsby105

Exactly the same! That was a great compilation. They were called Gen 11.

@anotherblownengine

Yes. You R absolutely correct. They were known as “Gen 11.” That is how I was introduced to them. I too had the Select Magazine tape known as “Maximum Bliss.” You can see copies of it for sale on eBay.
Cheers. 👍 -Andrew

Jodi and Trish are God's in the eyes of the angels in their eyes and know that they are lovely in their minds and justice of men

@alanstrom2221

OK, from that comment I would glean that you obviously don't know them personally.
Scratch the surface of the sugar coating and you'll find the truth that I know.
