Cataclysm
Rogue feat. Meg Dean Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The winds are cold, I'm looking down
To the place that we called home
And I swear I can feel you now
Under my skin

And all that's left of the cataclysm
Is the feeling of your ghost
And in my mind I can see now
And I'm holding on to what we know

(I'm holding on)

Lights fade remotionless
Floating endlessness

I'm holding on x2

And all that's left of the cataclysm
Is the feeling of your ghost
And in my mind I can see now
And I'm holding on to what we know

I'm holding on

(Hold on, I'm holding on)

Lights fade remotionless
Floating endlessness

I'm holding on x2

Lights fade remotionless
Floating endlessness

I'm holding on x2

And all that's left of the cataclysm
Is the feeling of your ghost
And in my mind I can see now




And I'm holding on to what we know
To what we know

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Rogue feat. Meg Dean's song "Cataclysm" convey a sense of loss and nostalgia, as the singer reflects on a past home and a person they loved who is no longer there. The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song, with the winds symbolizing the passing of time and the feeling of coldness and emptiness that comes with it. The singer looks down at the place they called home, as if trying to recapture a memory or a feeling that has faded away. They then describe feeling the presence of the person they loved "under [their] skin," suggesting a deep connection that still lingers despite everything that has happened.


The chorus focuses on the aftermath of a "cataclysm," which is not explained but can be interpreted as a significant event that has shaken the singer's world. What's left of it is the feeling of the person's ghost, which is both haunting and comforting. The singer says they can "see now" in their mind, which implies that they have gained clarity or insight after going through this traumatic experience. They then repeat the phrase "I'm holding on" several times, emphasizing their determination to hold onto what they know and what they feel, despite everything else falling apart around them. The song ends with the same repeated lines, as if echoing the singer's desire to cling to what's left.


Line by Line Meaning

The winds are cold, I'm looking down
Despite the harshness of the winds, I look down towards where we used to call home


To the place that we called home
I look towards the location where we once resided


And I swear I can feel you now
I experience your presence as if you are here with me in this moment


Under my skin
You have such a profound impact on me that you feel like a part of my very being


And all that's left of the cataclysm
All that remains of the tragic event that occurred is the enduring feeling of your absence


Is the feeling of your ghost
The sensation of your lingering presence persists within me


And in my mind I can see now
I visualize the memories of our time together


And I'm holding on to what we know
I cling to the knowledge of our shared experiences as a means of staying connected to you


Lights fade remotionless
The lights gradually dim with a sense of detachment and indifference


Floating endlessness
I feel weightless, drifting aimlessly through an infinite expanse


I'm holding on x2
I am determined to persevere and not let go of what we had


Hold on, I'm holding on
I plead to myself to endure the pain and not let go of what we shared


To what we know
I steadfastly grasp onto our shared experiences to keep you alive within me

i like to criticize songs, say when the artist has done the wrong tone in a certain bit or an unnecessary bass, but i can never pick any wrongs with your songs they are perfection
