Cloud
E.L.V.N Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
At the end of summer
Awake in daylight
Dreaming colours
Floating to you
I'm crashing into you
Perfect formation
Open my arms
Show my dedication
Floating to you
I'm crashing into you
Is this what it feels like
Being in love with you for the first time
I'm feeling so right
Singing from cloud nine
Is this what it feels like
Being in love with you for the first time
I'm feeling so right
Singing from cloud nine
Cloud nine
Eyes locked on you now
Nothing can tear us apart
Can't deny it
I'm compliant you've made your way to my heart
Floating to you
I'm crashing into you
Is this what it feels like
Being in love with you for the first time
I'm feeling so right
Singing from cloud nine
Is this what it feels like
Being in love with you for the first time
I'm feeling so right
Singing from cloud nine
Cloud nine
We're lying on my bed
Your arms around my head
I'm telling you things that I've never said
Like I love you and I want you
Like I love you and I want you
To be mine forever
Is this what it feels like
Being in love with you for the first time
I'm feeling so right
Singing from cloud nine
Is this what it feels like
Being in love with you for the first time
I'm feeling so right
Singing from cloud nine
Cloud nine
Pretty skylight
At the end of summer
Awake in daylight
Dreaming colours
The lyrics of E.L.V.N's song "Cloud" reflect on the struggles of living in the hood, constantly being followed by black clouds, representing the darkness and troubles that come with living a life of violence and uncertainty. E.L.V.N raps about his frustration with people always asking why he and his crew can't stay out of trouble, despite their efforts to make some money and make a name for themselves.

The song ends with a plea for the black clouds to go away and leave them with a better day.
The opening lines of the song express the frustration and confusion that often accompany life in the hood, with people asking why they can't stay out of trouble despite trying to make a better life. E.L.V.N's response is that the black clouds of violence and danger seem to follow them wherever they go, leading to shootouts, fights, and other problems. He acknowledges that guns and beef are a part of life in the hood, but draws the line at snitching, which he considers weak.
The theme of loss is emphasized throughout the song, as E.L.V.N reflects on the absence of his friends and family members who have died or been incarcerated. He mentions his father and Big Pun, both of whom have passed away, as well as his friend Deuce, who has been locked up for 15 years. These losses add to the weight of the black clouds that seem to be constantly hanging over his head, making it hard for him to breathe or see a way out.
Overall, "Cloud" is a powerful testament to the struggles of life in the hood, and the toll that it can take on those who live there. The song is a reminder of the violence, loss, and despair that often go hand in hand with poverty and limited opportunities, and a plea for a better future.
