Cloud 9
Rohan Saridena Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I'm confident when I′m with you
Lately all I feel is bad and bruised
Tired of tripping on my shoes
But when he loves me, I feel like I'm floating
When he calls me pretty, I feel like somebody
Even when we fade eventually to nothing
When I start to tumble from the sky
You remind me how to fly
Lately, I've been feeling not alive
But you bring me back to life
But when he loves me, I feel like I′m floating
When he calls me pretty, I feel like somebody
Even when we fade eventually to nothing
You will always be my favorite form of loving
But when he loves me, I feel like I′m floating
When he calls me pretty, I feel like somebody
Even when we fade eventually, I'm nothing
You will always be my favorite form of loving
The lyrics to Rohan Saridena's song Cloud 9 convey a sense of emotional vulnerability and the experience of finding solace in the love of another. The opening lines suggest a hesitance to reveal one's true self but a sense of confidence and security when in the presence of the person they love. The following lines convey a feeling of being overwhelmed and struggling to keep up with the demands of life, feeling as if they are stumbling and falling.
However, the chorus introduces a contrasting feeling - that of being lifted up and carried away by the love of the person they cherish. The affirmations of being called "pretty" and feeling like "somebody" convey a sense of validation and worthiness that comes from being loved. The line "Even when we fade eventually to nothing" acknowledges the impermanence of relationships but also emphasizes the importance of the experience of loving and being loved as a cherished memory that will always hold a special place.
Overall, the lyrics to Cloud 9 speak to the universal human experience of seeking connection and support in the face of life's challenges and finding it in the love of another.
