Now we′re apart
Though not through choice
Do we stay mute?
Or raise our voice?
Now we're apart

Now we′re apart
Though not through choice

Do we stay mute?
Or raise our voice?

Overall Meaning

In Maybeshewill's song "He Films the Clouds Pt. 2", these lyrics capture the feeling of being separated from someone, but not by choice. The repetition of the lyrics emphasizes the uncertainty and confusion of the situation, and poses the question of what to do next. Should they remain silent and accept the separation, or should they try to speak up and bridge the gap that has been forced between them? The lyrics leave room for interpretation, but they ultimately convey a sense of longing and the struggle to reconcile with the situation.

The song as a whole explores similar themes of separation and loss, but also emphasizes the power of memory and nostalgia to bring people back together. The title itself suggests that the act of filming clouds - an ephemeral, ever-changing phenomenon - represents the hope of capturing something fleeting and preserving it, even when it seems impossible to hold onto. The instrumentation of the song also reflects this feeling of yearning, with a driving beat and layered guitar riffs that build up to a climax of sound.
