Clouds
slayyyter Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I always dreamed to the sound of a drum
Little girl won the world, she's a champion
Nice champagne on ice
Life is paradise
So tell me why I feel this way inside?

I'm unhappier than I've ever been
I never thought I'd know what it's like to win

Say what you want but I never thought I'd end up here
Some days I feel good then I really wanna disappear
I always got clouds over me
I always got clouds over me

I wish they knew what goes on in my head
Sometimes feels like I'd be better off dead
I don't wanna think
Pour another drink
So I don't have to feel anything

I'm unhappier than I've ever been
I never thought I'd know what it's like to win

Say what you want but I never thought I'd end up here
Some days I feel good then I really wanna disappear
I always got clouds over me
I always got clouds over me

Oh, oh-whoa, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-whoa, oh-oh, oh-oh




Oh, oh-whoa, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-whoa, oh-oh, oh-oh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of slayyyter's song "Clouds" discuss the artist's inner turmoil despite seemingly having achieved success. She begins by describing her earlier ambitions and how she always dreamt of being a winner with the sound of a drum. She now sees herself as a champion with a life that is a paradise, but she still feels unfulfilled and unhappy inside, and wonders why that is. She shares that she never thought she'd know what it's like to win, but now that she does, she's the unhappier than she's ever been.


The chorus reveals the repeated experience of having clouds over her head, despite her success. She's tired of people not understanding her and wishes they knew what goes on in her head. She often feels like disappearing or not thinking about anything, so she pours another drink to avoid feeling anything. The second verse repeats the sentiment of being unhappy but now the artist juxtaposes her success with wanting to be dead.


The song seems to be a reflection on how one's inner struggles do not necessarily disappear with success, money, or fame. slayyyter's lyrics point to a deep longing for something more and more meaningful than surface-level success.
