Cloud 9
Vincent Tesoro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never felt so alive till I broke up with her
You want another try when we both know it's over
Wave and say your goodbyes we're only growing older
Beg and look pathetic it's so desperate you should know
Cus all I ever wanted was a ticket to the show
Now you're out here crying act like it's my fault
We've been through it all here's another downfall
Give me one more time
It feels like I'm on cloud nine, on cloud nine
Give me one more time
It feels like I'm on cloud nine, on cloud nine
Passed out trying to pass the time
So trashed that it's asinine
In the cycle of denial
Until it all went viral
Let's not start this from scratch
Tried that but it never lasts
Never cared if I lived or died
Wonder why you've been denied
Mediocre at best
Lost faith in myself again
I'm not the least bit interested
In being one of your friends
Feeding off of my flesh
We slept with our regrets
I left behind our secrets
In a place that you'd never check
Give me one more time
It feels like I'm on cloud nine, on cloud nine
Give me one more time
It feels like I'm on cloud nine, on cloud nine
So stuck in our ways it's just a longer road
I Said let's take a break she tried to follow home
But she's been denied and now I'm on cloud nine
The lyrics to "Cloud 9" by Vincent Tesoro convey a tumultuous relationship that has reached its breaking point. The opening lines, "My bloody valentine, it's all been such a blur, never felt so alive till I broke up with her," suggest that the singer has recently ended a relationship and is experiencing mixed emotions. While they acknowledge feeling alive after the breakup, there is also a sense of confusion and regret. The line "Wave and say your goodbyes we're only growing older" indicates that both parties are aware that the relationship is over, but the pain and longing still linger.
The lyrics then delve into the aftermath of the breakup, with the singer expressing frustration towards their ex-partner's pleading and desperate behavior. "Beg and look pathetic, it's so desperate you should know, 'cause all I ever wanted was a ticket to the show" reflects a desire for independence and a sense of self-worth that was lacking in the relationship. The singer feels blamed for the ex-partner's tears and refuses to take responsibility for their unhappiness.
The second verse highlights the self-destructive behavior the singer engages in to cope with the pain. The lines "Passed out trying to pass the time, so trashed that it's asinine" depict a period of excessive drinking and numbing activities. The lyrics also suggest a cycle of denial and failed attempts to start anew, as the phrase "Let's not start this from scratch, tried that but it never lasts" implies previous failed reconciliation attempts. The singer questions why they were denied by their ex-partner and reflects on their own lack of self-esteem.
Despite the mixed emotions and the turmoil, the singer finds a sense of liberation and ecstasy in being on "cloud nine" after their ex-partner is denied in their attempts to follow them. This last line suggests that the singer has moved on and is now enjoying a sense of freedom and happiness without the weight of the past relationship.
