Clouds
Loosid Lyrics

The lyrics to Loosid feat. Raycee Jones's song Clouds suggest someone who's walking on thin ice, barely hanging on the surface of something that could have been. The first couplet, "Walking on ice/Paper thin" refers to the fragility of the situation, as if a misstep or a gust of wind could topple everything in an instant. The next line "Skating on the surface/Of what might have been" emphasizes the sense of precariousness and uncertainty of what lies just beneath the surface.

The second stanza contains a rhetorical question, "Do you wanna be set free?" which is repeated twice throughout the song. Here, the singer asks if the person wants to be liberated from their current state of being, from the forces that hold them down. The following lines "Forces in the sun/Where the cracks are singing to me" suggest a sense of hope, with the sun symbolizing warmth and light. The cracks could be interpreted as a metaphor for breakthroughs, moments of clarity where things start to make sense.

The final part of the song includes a plea for the person to come back, but with a caveat. The singer asks the person to keep their eyes off the ground, perhaps to maintain a sense of optimism and to focus on what could be instead of what is. The lines "Let me hear you take off/Or drown" convey the idea that taking action, even if it's a risk, is better than being stagnant and drowning in one's current circumstances. Finally, the singer invites the person to come up to where the clouds are, perhaps symbolizing an elevated perspective and a sense of escape.
