Clouds
Victoria Voss Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
VERSE 1
We ain't got a clear definition
Nowhere from the start, the start to finish
Don't know where we are but we always finish
Best view on the top floor
So this is what you came for
Thought I should open up more
Love you as hard as the rain pours
PRE-CHORUS 1
Give you the fucking panorama
Clear skies, no lies, I don't want no drama
You can stay the night but baby you ain't gotta (yeah)
CHORUS 1
I just know where you could take me
When you levitate me
Get in, elevate me
Right where you could take me
Baby come and give me a lift
When you push the button that's my favourite gift
You know that my body couldn't ever resist
High up in the clouds is where we're meant to exist
VERSE 2
Float up in the air like a satellite
My heart is uncapped, don't let it capsize
You make me wanna step outside the light
Got feelings on tap, so baby tap twice
Best view on the top floor
So this is what you came for
Thought I should open up more
Love you as hard as the rain pours
PRE-CHORUS 2
Give you the fucking panorama
Clear skies, no lies, I don't want no drama
You can stay the night but baby you ain't gotta (yeah)
CHORUS 2
I just know where you could take me
When you levitate me
Get in, elevate me
Right where you could take me
Baby come and give me a lift
When you push the button that's my favourite gift
You know that my body couldn't ever resist
High up in the clouds is where we're meant to exist
Clouds, clouds, clouds, clouds
Clouds, clouds, clouds, clouds
MIDDLE-EIGHT
I've been out and drinking
I've been thinking couldn't I come by swinging
What I'm bound to bring and what I'm taking you already swigging
Bottle shopping popping pills
i got bills (throw em singing)
Make you make it rain
Faucet through my fingers slipping
Look at me dip in
Steady beginnings
Calling it slapping
Flashing digits
Call it a sinning
What's the difference
Ass is clapping
Smack and finish
Look at that bend right back (I'm in it)
Look at it clapping fat (like fitness)
Come on up closer watch me fit this
We ain't finished (baby come and gimme gimme)
Safe and sound or hard and loud
On the bed or on the ground
Like a savage got you ravaged
Bend you back you're shaking now
If we sink then take me down
(Cumming till we fucking drown)
Then I'm waking up. Goddamn
CHORUS 3
I just know where you could take me
When you levitate me
Get in, elevate me
Right where you could take me
Baby come and give me a lift
When you push the button that's my favourite gift
You know that my body couldn't ever resist
High up in the clouds is where we're meant to exist
Clouds, clouds, clouds, clouds
Clouds, clouds, clouds, clouds
Clouds, clouds, clouds, clouds
Clouds, clouds, clouds, clouds
In "Clouds," Victoria Voss and Max Wassen sing about a relationship that lacks a clear definition, but is always exciting and thrilling. The song's chorus speaks to the joy of being taken higher by a lover, both physically and emotionally. The lyrics mention a top-floor view, and repeating references to clouds suggest that the song is about reaching new heights - either through physical intimacy or a strong emotional connection. The use of the phrase "levitate me" gives an ethereal quality to the relationship being described.
The song's verses suggest that the singer is open to the idea of a deeper commitment, but their partner is hesitant or inconsistent. Despite this, the song overall has a positive, playful tone. The use of profanity, both in the "give you the fucking panorama" lines and in the middle-eight, adds to the energetic, unapologetic vibe of the song.
Line by Line Meaning
We ain't got a clear definition
We don't have a clear understanding or explanation of what this relationship really is
Nowhere from the start, the start to finish
From the beginning to the end, we don't know where we stand
You keep on switching positions
You keep changing your mind and attitude towards me
Don't know where we are but we always finish
We may not know where we stand, but the end result is always the same
Best view on the top floor
The view from the highest point is the best
So this is what you came for
This is what you wanted or expected
Thought I should open up more
I realized I should be more vulnerable and honest with you
Love you as hard as the rain pours
I love you with intensity, like the heavy rainfall
Give you the fucking panorama
I'll offer you a complete and unobstructed view of everything
Clear skies, no lies, I don't want no drama
I want to avoid any complications or conflicts by being truthful and straightforward
You can stay the night but baby you ain't gotta (yeah)
I want you to stay, but I don't want to pressure you
I just know where you could take me
I am willing to follow you anywhere you want to go
When you levitate me
When you lift me up and make me feel weightless
Get in, elevate me
Take me with you and make me feel alive
Right where you could take me
Exactly where you would lead me to
Baby come and give me a lift
I want you to give me a positive change or boost in my life
When you push the button that's my favourite gift
When you take control and show your affection in your own way, it means the world to me
You know that my body couldn't ever resist
I am irresistibly drawn to you
High up in the clouds is where we're meant to exist
Our true destiny or purpose lies up in the sky, away from the earthly troubles
Float up in the air like a satellite
I feel like I am floating and hovering like a satellite
My heart is uncapped, don't let it capsize
I am exposing my true emotions and feelings, don't let them be overwhelmed or drowned
You make me wanna step outside the light
You encourage me to move out of my comfort zone and try new things
Got feelings on tap, so baby tap twice
I have plenty of emotions to give, just give me a hint or signal and I'll pour them out
Clouds, clouds, clouds, clouds
The repeated mention of 'clouds' throughout the song evokes a sense of soaring and freedom
I've been out and drinking
I've been partying and consuming alcohol
I've been thinking couldn't I come by swinging
I've been wondering if I could come by and surprise you with my passion or energy
What I'm bound to bring and what I'm taking you already swigging
I'm already bringing my A-game, and you're already feeling the effects of it
Bottle shopping popping pills
I'm buying liquor and taking drugs
i got bills (throw em singing)
I have expenses and debts to pay, but I'll keep partying and being reckless regardless
Make you make it rain
I'll make it rain with money or pleasure for you
Faucet through my fingers slipping
I'm letting the money flow through my hands carelessly
Steady beginnings
It all started mildly and calmly
Calling it slapping
I'm calling the intense activity or fun 'slapping'
Flashing digits
I'm showing off my wealth or success through my digits, or maybe texting quickly
Call it a sinning
I'm aware that my behavior may be immoral or bad, but I'm still doing it
What's the difference
I don't care about the difference between good and bad, or right and wrong
Ass is clapping
I'm having sex and the sound of the impact is clapping
Smack and finish
The act of sex is followed by an end result, either orgasm or completion
Safe and sound or hard and loud
We could either have a gentle, cautious experience or a wild, noisy one
On the bed or on the ground
We could either have sex on a bed or on the floor, depending on our preference
Like a savage got you ravaged
I'm being aggressive and animalistic with you, leaving you feeling overwhelmed
Bend you back you're shaking now
I'm physically manipulating your body in a way that makes you feel ecstatic
If we sink then take me down
If this relationship falls apart, then let's face the consequences together
(Cumming till we fucking drown)
The act of sex leads us to the peak of pleasure, to the point that we couldn't breathe or swim
Then I'm waking up. Goddamn
I realize that the reality is harsh, and it makes me curse or swear
