(Black cloud over my bed)

(Black cloud over my bed)

(Black cloud over my bed)

Black cloud over my bed
There's no use trying to pretend

I'm losing myself again
I'm not feeling a hundred percent
Been thinking about what you said
Staring at the beast with deep blood red
All those things they did
It's you I try to protect

I'm hoping, I'm not the only one that keeps recalling
All those memories, they used to happen so often
Look at me (look at me), I'm still (I'm still)
Searching, for you (you)

I cared for you, when no one did
I swear to you, when no one did
I dared for you, when no one did
I swear to you, I still do (still do)

Black cloud over my head
I'm through trying to pretend
Wishing I could call you again
Please answer when you see my name
Thinking 'bout what you said
Staring at the beast with deep blood red
Knowing no one else will stare
A couple hundred people caught up in the past

I'm hoping, I'm not the only one that keeps recalling
I've got those days in mind so very often
Look at me (look at me), I'm still (I'm still)
Searching, for you (you)
(For you, for you, for you)

I cared for you, when no one did
I swear to you, when no one did
I dared for you, when no one did
I swear to you, I still do (still do)

Broken connections, resurrections
(For you, for you)
Broken connections, resurrections
(For you, for you)

I'm hoping, I'm not the only one that keeps recalling
All those memories, that used to happen so often
Look at me (look at me), I'm still (I'm still)
Searching (for you) for you (you)

I cared for you, when no one did
I swear to you, when no one did
I dared for you, when no one did
I swear to you, I still do (still do)

(Still do, still do, I still do)
(I still do, yes, still do, yeah, I still do, yeah)

Overall Meaning

The song "U" by Majid Jordan is about the pain of an ended relationship and the longing to reconnect with the person the singer cared for. The opening lyric, "Black cloud over my bed," sets the tone for an atmosphere of gloom and depression, indicating that the singer is feeling emotionally drained. The following lines, "There's no use trying to pretend, I'm losing myself again," emphasize the singer's struggle to conceal their despair and the fact that they are going through a tough time. The chorus, "I cared for you when no one did, I swear to you when no one did, I dare for you when no one did, I swear to you I still do," showcases the depth of the singer’s feelings and their unwavering love for the person they're addressing.

The second verse alludes to the past and how the singer is still nostalgic about the moments they shared with their ex-partner. "All those memories, they used to happen so often, look at me I'm still searching for you" indicates the singer's inability to move on from the relationship. The bridge, "Broken connections, resurrections," describes the cycle of the relationship that the singer keeps going through, and the repetition of "still do" in the chorus emphasizes the singer's longing to reconnect and their genuine feelings of love for the person they miss.
