Clouds Rush In
Woozy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll never give it up
Take me back to the lonely hearts club
I'll never leave the cups
I want them to notice when the sun fell from the sky
clouds rushed in
to fill up the void that he left
and I want them to hold back the tide
hold back the tide
He wrote me a letter to sing
when all else fails
It mostly gets better, I think
Console yourself
I'm not broken, he's just holding my hands hostage
In "Clouds Rush In," Woozy begs to go back to a "lonely hearts club." This club is where the broken-hearted people go to drink and forget the pain caused by love. She wants to stay in this place where she feels she can drown her sorrows and never leave the bottles.
The song is about the fragility of relationships, how one partner's departure can leave a void that can't be filled. She wants everyone to feel the emptiness she's experiencing so that they can understand the pain she's going through. The analogy of the clouds rushing in when the sun falls from the sky is a metaphor for how everything in her life is quickly replaced by something else.
She talks about a letter that was written to her by someone who wants to console her when things get tough. This person seems to know what it's like to feel down, but Woozy doesn't want to be comforted; she wants to be left alone. Woozy claims she's not broken, but her hands are being held captive by someone who left her with no closure.
