Soul Eater
Clouds Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hello souleater
Stole my shoes as I walked through the door
Took my heartbeat
Now I'm worse off than before
No more

Hello hellraiser
Said you'd lift me up to the stars
Now I'm falling
Moving faster than your cars
Your shiny cars

"Hello souleater
Just want you to look back on everything you have ever done for us
And I want you to realize that it's all there
In a bright, tiny, shiny package
Just waiting for you to move right in and open it up
Move right in, take your cut
Move right in, take your cut,"

Well you know we've cottoned on
You know we're catching up with you

Hello moneytalker
Told me I'd be rolling in dough
Now I'm covered in dust from head to toe




Oh no
Just Blow

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Clouds's song Souleater explore the themes of deception, betrayal, and loss. The use of vivid imagery helps to convey the emotions of the singer as he confronts the titular souleater, hellraiser, and moneytalker. The first verse sets the scene, as the souleater steals the singer's shoes and takes his heartbeat, leaving him feeling worse off than before. In the second verse, the hellraiser promises to lift the singer up to the stars but ends up causing him to fall, moving faster than their shiny cars. The final verse is addressed to the moneytalker, who promised the singer he would be rolling in dough but left him covered in dust from head to toe.


The song presents a bleak outlook on life as the singer grapples with the harsh realities of a world where promises are often broken and trust is hard to come by. The use of repetition in the chorus, with the souleater saying "move right in, take your cut," serves as a reminder of the greed and selfishness that drives these characters to deceive others. The final line of the song, "just blow," is left open to interpretation, but can be seen as a final rejection of the false promises of those who have betrayed the singer.


Overall, Souleater presents a powerful and poignant message about the dangers of trusting those who only seek to use and exploit others for their own gain.
