Clouds
Ritual Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everything is grey.
The sun seems to be in chains.
Raindrops feel like bullets today.
I’m the witness of fading light.
I’m the witness of breaking night.

One day we’ll vanish.
No ghosts remain.
Dark clouds above us.
Paradise is miles away.
No matter if we’ll reach the stars.
No one will remember us except the ones we love.

A lesson in loss we all have to learn.
Pain reminds us who we are
And we can still feel it hurt.

One day we’ll vanish.
No ghosts remain.
Dark clouds above us.
Paradise is miles away.

Take my hand
I’ll guide your way.




(We are) forsaken children,
but we won’t die today.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ritual's song Clouds paint a bleak picture of the world and our place in it. The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song, describing a world that is devoid of any colour and where the sun is seemingly trapped. This is then juxtaposed with the raindrops, which feel like bullets, suggesting that even nature is hostile towards us.


The song then takes a more philosophical turn, with the lyrics contemplating our mortality and what it means to be remembered. The lines "One day we'll vanish, no ghosts remain" suggest that when we die, we leave behind no trace of ourselves, and that any legacy we leave is fleeting at best. The idea of "Dark clouds above us" implies a sense of helplessness and despair, with the promise of a distant paradise seemingly out of reach.


However, the final lines of the song offer a ray of hope. The repeated refrain of "Take my hand, I'll guide your way" suggests that even in the darkest of times, we're not alone, and that we can rely on each other for support. The lyrics "We are forsaken children, but we won't die today" offer a sense of defiance in the face of adversity, suggesting that even though we might feel abandoned by the world, we still have each other.


Overall, the lyrics of Clouds offer a powerful commentary on the human experience, touching on themes of mortality, loss, and the importance of human connection in the face of despair.
