Cloudwalker
HORSE the band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We want to turn everything around

She's a real writer and say goodnighter
She's a sadist of a believer

I'm not a bridge, I'm not the bay
I'm not a car, taxi or train
I'm not a power tool or a construction crew
I'm not the weapon simple or mass device
Just a man with two hands

What should I do when you walk out?

I dress in white
Become cloudwalker
I want to scan the crowd
And point to where the rain flows

I'm a white cloud
I'm a white cloud

We've got clouds in our heads
Dreams in our skies
We never say goodbye

What should I do when you walk out?
We have soft clouds in our heads
We have dreams in our skies
We never say goodbye

I AM THE SKY
DON'T ASK WHY
I FEEL IT AS I FEEL MY BREATH DEEP INSIDE

I'M A RIDE HIGHER
A TRIED TRIER
A NEVER GIVE UP VICTORY FIGHT IGNITER

Row after row after row
Row after row after row
Sentinel trees go

SHE'S A DREAM BOOMER
A NEVER TOO SOONER
A 3D TREE RIGHT BEFORE ME FALLING IN THE SEWER

SHE'S A ROCKSLIDE
A ROCKET IN THE SKY
A PLANE CRASHING TO THE EARTH AND EVERYONE WHO DIED

I'M A COUNTDOWN TICK
MOVING QUITE QUICK
TWO LOVERS CONFESSING A TRYST

SHE'S A THUNDERSTORM
SINCE THE DAY SHE WAS BORN
AND SHE BEAT-BEAT-BEATS LIKE THE HEART OF A WAR

Row after row after row
Row after row after row
Sentinel trees go





I'm looking down on trees
Let's not let this moment... be the same

Overall Meaning

The song "Cloudwalker" by HORSE the Band explores themes of identity, self-discovery, and resilience. The lyrics speak to a desire to reinvent oneself in the face of a difficult situation. The opening lines "We want to turn everything around" reveal this longing for change. The song then goes on to describe a protagonist who is not defined by material possessions or societal roles. He declares "I'm not a bridge, I'm not the bay, I'm not a car, taxi or train" conveying a sense of individuality and self-sufficiency.


The chorus "I dress in white, become cloudwalker, I want to scan the crowd and point to where the rain flows" is a metaphor for ascension, a desire to rise above the fray and elevate one's identity. The line "I'm a white cloud" further emphasizes this theme of transcendence. The repeated reference to clouds and skies throughout the song symbolizes an escape from the mundane and a search for the extraordinary.


The song also has a surreal quality to it, with references to thunderstorms, rocket ships, and trees falling into sewers. This imagery further conveys the sense of otherworldliness and the desire to transcend traditional reality. Overall, "Cloudwalker" is an introspective and dreamlike song that encourages listeners to explore their own identities and reach for something beyond themselves.
