Cloud Nine
Evanescence渀 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you want to live, let live
If you want to go, let go
I'm not afraid to dream to sleep, sleep forever

I don't need to touch the sky
I just want to feel that high
And you refuse to lift me
Guess it wasn't real after all
Guess it wasn't real all along

If I fall and all is lost
It's where I belong

If you want to live, let live
If you want to go, let go
I'm never gonna be your sweet, sweet surrender

Guess it wasn't real after all
Guess it wasn't real all along

If I fall and all is lost
No light to lead the way
Remember that all alone
Is where I belong

In a dream
Will you give your love to me
Beg my broken heart to beat
Save my life, change my mind?

If I fall and all is lost
No light to lead the way




Remember that all alone
Is where I belong

Overall Meaning

The song "Cloud Nine" by Evanescence is a powerful and poignant reflection on the themes of love, loss, and the search for a sense of belonging. The first stanza sets the tone for the rest of the song, with the lyrics "if you want to live, let live, if you want to go, let go". These lines could be seen as an admonition to let go of things that are holding you back, whether that be a person, a situation, or a past mistake.


The second stanza continues with the theme of wanting to feel alive and fulfilled, but being held back by someone or something else. The line "I'm never gonna be your sweet, sweet surrender" is a powerful assertion of independence and the refusal to be controlled by others. However, the final stanza of the song adds a certain nuance to this idea of independence, with the lines "in a dream, will you give your love to me, beg my broken heart to beat, save my life, change my mind?". This suggests that while the singer may not want to be controlled, they do still desire a sense of connection and intimacy with another person.


Overall, the lyrics to "Cloud Nine" are a heartfelt and emotional exploration of the human experience. They reflect the struggle to find a sense of purpose and belonging in a world that can often be isolating and harsh, and they speak to the power of love and human connection to provide meaning and solace in difficult times.

Lyrics if you wanna sing along:


I don't wanna seem the way I do
But I'm confident when I'm with you
Lately all I feel is bad and bruised
Tired of tripping on my shoes
But when he loves me I feel like I'm floating when he calls me pretty
I feel like somebody even when we fade eventually
I'm nothing
You will always be my favorite form of loving.
...
When it starts to tumble from the sky
You remind me how to fly
Lately I've been feeling unalive
Watch you bring me back to life
But when he loves me I feel like I'm floating when he calls me pretty
I feel like somebody even when we fade eventually
I'm nothing
You will always be my favorite form of loving
🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶
But when he loves me I feel like I'm floating when he calls me pretty
I feel like somebody even when we fade eventually.
I'm nothing
You will always be my favorite form of loving...

THE END HOPE U ENJOYED

I don't wanna seem the way i do
But I'm confident when I'm with you
Lately all i feel is bad and bruised
Tired of tripping on my shoes

But when he loves me i feel like I'm floating, when he calls me pretty
I feel like somebody
Even when we fade eventually to nothing
You will always be my favorite form of loving

When i start to tumble from the sky
You remind me how to fly
Lately I've been feeling unalive
But you bring me back to life

But when he loves me i feel like I'm floating, when he calls me pretty
I feel like somebody
Even when we fade eventually to nothing You will always be my favorite form of loving

2/ 4: Happy Valentines Day! ❤️

Please listen to this part:
0:49 - 1:32

When I start to tumble from the sky
You remind me how to fly
Lately, I've been feeling not alive
But you bring me back to life
But when she loves me, I feel like I'm floating
When she calls me pretty, I feel like somebody
Even when we fade eventually to nothing,
You will always be my favorite form of loving.

I'm not sure if you already know this, but you have unknowingly saved my life numerous times. I wouldn't be who I am today if it weren't for you. You were there for me during my darkest times, you were so patient with me and stayed with me despite the fact that I repeatedly gave you a lot of hard times. Thank you for always boosting my confidence and making me feel beautiful and at ease despite my doubts. Thank you for always listening to me and keeping me from hurting myself and breaking down. We don't know what the future holds for us; we may still talk years from now, or we may not. But, despite all of those uncertainties, know that one thing will never change: you will always be my favorite form of love.

Also, please know that I will continue to shower you with assurance and love every day or whenever you are in doubt. Just come to me, and we'll go through things together: things that you can't do alone. I know you're brave, but if you ever need someone to be there for you, I'll be there.
