Lyrically, the track urges listeners to strive to maintain the right energy and motivation to continue on with life, even amidst difficulty and falter. The track features vocals from Utah-based, The People’s Thieves. They say of the track, “Clouds is about those moments in your life where your mind is constantly firing and feels as if it’s bouncing from one anxious thought to the next so rapidly that you might lose it. The first line of the chorus, // head keeps ringing like a full automatic // illustrates that chaos of thought that severe anxiety can cause, and the main hook // I’ll be tearing up the clouds ’til I come down // shares the desperation of the thought that our anxieties might, ultimately, consume us.”
»...our anxieties might, ultimately, consume us. «
