Clouds
Crimson Blue Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Somewhere the moonlit scenery shifts
Out in the fields the movement begins
Shaping the forms and changing skin from green to grave

I come to know that this is the end
Have to turn my back on you again
No more denying no more trying to change what we’ve become
I see the passing of the clouds so high above
As I dream of what we never were but maybe could be
No matter you don’t matter now
No matter you don’t matter now
Guess my dreams were not to last
Guess my dreams were not to last

Into the wilderness we break
Shadows come hiding under the trees
You’ll never know the truth before you make your move

You have to know what we came to be
Can’t you find a way to set me free
No more denying no more lying now that I decide

To see the passing of the clouds so high above
As I dream of what we never were and never could be
No matter you don’t matter now
No matter you don’t matter now




Guess my dreams were not to last
Guess my dreams were not to last

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Crimson Blue's song, "Clouds", depict a narrator who is accepting that a relationship has come to its end. The first verse paints a picture of nature changing with the shift of moonlit scenery and the movement beginning in the fields. The line "shaping the forms and changing skin from green to grave" could be interpreted as a metaphor for the changing of seasons, and the transition from life (green) to death (grave). The singer then admits that they have to turn their back on their partner and stop denying that their relationship has changed.


In the second verse, the singer dreams about what the relationship could have been but realizes that it is no longer possible. They ask their partner to find a way to set them free before they make a move. The chorus repeats the line "no matter you don't matter now" which emphasizes that the relationship is over and their former partner's opinion doesn't hold the weight it once did. The final line, "guess my dreams were not to last", reinforces the idea that the singer is moving on from the lost relationship and letting go of the dreams they once held.


Overall, the lyrics of "Clouds" suggest a level of acceptance, maturity and moving forward despite the pain of a lost relationship.
