Show Me
Clouds Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Show me where the centre is
The centre of your universe
I'll put a hole in it

If I could get in your head
And walk those twisted narrow halls
I could open some doors
Maybe clear the cobwebs, shed some light

Show me where the borders are
The boundaries of your consciousness




I'll reach them and tear them down
And you won't have those limits anymore

Overall Meaning

In Clouds’s song “Show Me,” the singer seems to be asking their romantic partner to reveal their innermost self. The opening lines “Show me where the centre is/The centre of your universe/I'll put a hole in it” suggest that the singer wants to know what their partner cares about most deeply, and that they are willing to disrupt it in order to gain a better understanding their perspective. When the singer asks to “get in [their partner’s] head,” it seems as though they want to empathize with their partner and help them work through their challenges by “open[ing] some doors” and “shed[ding] some light.”


The last stanza implies that the singer is willing to engage in transformational work with their partner. When they ask “Show me where the borders are/The boundaries of your consciousness,” it seems like they are asking their partner what they consider their personal limits and encouraging them to reach beyond those limits. This interpretation is supported in the final line, “And you won't have those limits anymore,” which suggests that the singer believes that they can help their partner by pushing them past their current boundaries.


Overall, "Show Me" portrays a desire for deep connection and intimacy, and a willingness to engage in potentially difficult or uncomfortable conversations in order to achieve this connection.

I fell down, down, down
Into this dark and lonely hole
There was no one there to care about me anymore
And I needed a way to climb and grab a hold of the edge
You were sitting there, holding a rope
And we'll go up, up, up
But I'll fly a little higher
Go up in the clouds because the view's a little nicer
Up here my dear
It won't be long now, it won't be long now
When we get back on land
Well I'll never get my chance
Be ready to live and it'll be ripped right out of my hands
And maybe someday we'll take a little ride
We'll go up, up, up and everything will be just fine
We'll go up, up, up
But I'll fly a little higher
Go up in the clouds because the view's a little nicer
Up here my dear
It won't be long now, it won't be long now
If only I had a little bit more time
If only I had a little bit more time with you
We could go up, up, up
And take that little ride
We'll sit there holding hands
And everything would be just right
And maybe someday I'll see you again
We'll float up in the clouds and we'll never see the end
We'll go up, up, up
But I'll fly a little higher
Go up in the clouds because the view's a little nicer
Up here my dear
It won't be long now, it won't be long now

The first voice singing his song in the crowd in this scene was the real Zach’s friend Sammy and I think that’s what breaks me the most about this scene.

I had no idea, for some reason I thought it was the girlfriend that started it.
