Sullivan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Because the room is fading
I can't get out of bed
Don't look at me now
I'm just a week beginning
Something that never ends
Just open your eyes
And tell me that the world is done
I'm making the time
For a chance to prove I'm ready for your retrieve
Woah
What was the last thing that you said?
Why does it always end this way?
She says don't be late
And you better believe that you better be here
And you better believe that I'm counting all the places you go when you're walking the streets alone
And the last time you said wait a second here
I ended up at the bottom of your parent's pool
I know, I know, I lost my mind
But I'm better of this time
There's these boys pinned up deep inside of us
I say we break them out
And I'll fight for the right of the last man standing
If you'll have him around
What now?
Follows a blank expression
Where do we go from here?
Can we pay for mistakes that we've not yet made?
If we've made them before
Then were not yet saying
What was the last thing that you said?
Why does it always end this way?
She says don't be late
And you better believe that you better be here
And you better believe that I'm counting all the places you go when you're walking the streets alone
And the last time you said wait a second here
I ended up at the bottom of your parent's pool
I know, I know, I lost my mind
But I'm better of this time
Better off this time
I lost my mind
I lost my mind
Just open your eyes on a cloudy
Just open your eyes (repeats)
Stop me now
Because the room is fading
I can't get out of bed
Don't look at me now
I'm just a week beginning
Something that never ends
Just open your eyes
And tell me that the world is done
And I don't want to leave
I'm making the time
For a chance to prove I'm ready for your retrieve
Woah
What was the last thing that you said?
Why does it always end this way?
She says don't be late
And you better believe that you better be here
And you better believe that I'm counting all the places you go when you're walking the streets alone
And the last time you said wait a second here
I ended up at the bottom of your parent's pool
I know, I know, I lost my mind
But I'm better of this time
There's these boys pinned up deep inside of us
I say we break them out
And I'll fight for the right of the last man standing
If you'll have him around

Something that never ends
The song "Cloudy" by Sullivan has a melancholic feel to it, with the lyrics focusing on the confusion and uncertainty that comes with growing up and trying to navigate life's challenges. The song starts with the singer feeling lost and helpless in bed, unable to face the world. The chorus shows a theme of abandonment with the line "why does it always end this way?" indicating that the singer feels as if they are always left behind. The verses depict the fear of making mistakes, and the fear of failing again. The line "Can we pay for mistakes that we’ve not yet made? / If we’ve made them before / Then were not yet saying" shows how the singer is struggling with making choices in life and whether or not to seize the opportunities being presented to them.
The lyrics also touch on relationships, particularly the fear of losing someone or being left behind. The line "And you better believe that I'm counting all the places you go when you're walking the streets alone / And the last time you said wait a second here / I ended up at the bottom of your parent’s pool" shows how a past relationship has left the singer scarred and unable to trust others fully. However, towards the end of the song, the singer seems to have found a resolve and determination to fight for what they believe in, singing "There’s these boys pinned up deep inside of us / I say we break them out / And I’ll fight for the right of the last man standing / If you’ll have him around."
Overall, "Cloudy" portrays the complexity of growing up and the fear of making mistakes, while also touching on themes of love, abandonment and self-discovery.
