Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
where the cloud touches light
At dawn that is
where you'll find me
Reaching out,
for something to catch
Closing my eyes,
while running faster than fast
World is running upside down
Faster than fast ...
Hiding's never been my plan
So here I am
World is running upside down
Faster than fast ...
Hiding's never been my plan
So here I am
You can watch me,
through the light
Through the sun, rain, wind
But soon they will all catch me
And one hundred one times,
I will doubt
Closing my eyes,
while spinning faster than fast
Tryin to stop right now
World is running upside down
Faster than fast ...
Hiding's never been my plan
So here I am
World is running upside down
Faster than fast ...
Hiding's never been my plan
So here I am
here I am ...
here I am ...
This was not a part of the plan
Clear as my thoughts
that will be found
This was not a part of the plan
And I can see it clear now
Clear as my heart
that I will never find
Far away from me now
This was not a part of the plan
Am I the only left now
Left for the others to be found
But why am I still here while
World is running upside down
Faster than fast ...
Hiding's never been my plan
So here I am
World is running upside down
Faster than fast ...
Hiding's never been my plan
So here I am
here I am
here I am ...

Dancing,
Moving to the rhythm of life
where the cloud touches light
In the sky where the earth meets the heavens
At dawn that is
In the early morning hours
where you'll find me
Where I feel most alive
Reaching out,
Trying to touch something beyond myself
for something to catch
Grasping for something to hold onto
Closing my eyes,
Blocking out distractions
while running faster than fast
Moving at an intense pace
In a ten mile smile
With an expression of pure joy
World is running upside down
Life is chaotic and unpredictable
Hiding's never been my plan
I'm not one to shy away from challenges
So here I am
I am present and ready
You can watch me,
Others can observe my actions
through the light
In good times
Through the sun, rain, wind
In all circumstances
But soon they will all catch me
My mistakes will eventually catch up with me
And one hundred one times,
Through multiple attempts
I will doubt
I will question my abilities
Closing my eyes,
Trying to focus
while spinning faster than fast
Feeling out of control
Tryin to stop right now
Attempting to slow down
This was not a part of the plan
Things are not going as expected
Clear as my thoughts
I am certain
that will be found
That I will discover the truth
And I can see it clear now
I have gained clarity
Clear as my heart
I am emotionally connected to the situation
that I will never find
That I will never fully understand
Far away from me now
Out of reach and distant from me
Am I the only left now
Wondering if I am alone in my struggles
Left for the others to be found
Others have already found their way
But why am I still here while
Questioning why I am still struggling
here I am ...
I am present and persistent
World is running upside down
Life is chaotic and unpredictable
Faster than fast ...
Moving at an intense pace
Hiding's never been my plan
I'm not one to shy away from challenges
So here I am
I am present and ready
here I am
I am here and determined
