In the Clouds Lyrics
I like the bullet in the water yeah
I like the morning after pill hello
breath in
lose control
i wanna fuck ya in fire yeah
i wanna hold ya till you breath no more
can't hide oh
meet me in the clouds
let me work it out
don't you take it personal, personal
don't you like the control ohh x2
lets tell the people what we have to say
lets tell the people till they can't hear no more
can't cry
more and more
we never tried to be the leading voice
we couldn't help it cuz you gave us no choice
can't fight oh
meet me in the clouds
let me work it out
don't you take it personal, personal
don't you like the control ohh x2

It think it is more about abortion as a form of birth control. On the one hand - morning after pill, bullet in the water (unprotected sex), don't you like control, can't hide (as in, can't hide the belly) and you gave us no choice all seem to suggest that this dude just wants to be free to have unprotected sex and worry about the consequences later. Politically, that even seems to be his philosophy when he goes on about voice and telling the people. On the other hand, I can't get away from the idea that he wants to have so much sex it kills both of them and "in the clouds" they'll still keep at it. Either way, it's deeply disturbed, which is why I like it so much. Anyone else?
Yup, just watched the video. It's definitely about having unprotected sex and not worrying about it. The video starts out with a shaking dinning room with the traditional leave it to beaver family while someone's definitely gettin it on hardcore upstairs. There's all these spilt red wine images and even an identical twin shot (the worst thing one would imagine in an unwanted pregnancy). But the bands message becomes loud and clear, blowing a hole in the dinning room and the members leave the black/white world of simple right and wrong to enter the full-color world of having sex with hundreds of beautiful girls. Don't take it personal and in the clouds I think refer to indiscriminate sex and taking a wider view of sex as a human need rather than a deeply personal experience. Just have sex and let the morning after pill wash your troubles away.
I think cocteau30 is pretty spot-on in their assessment of this song, although I'm thinking that the line about being "in the clouds" is more about the great feeling, the ecstasy, you get from doing it that way. Almost thinking of it as a kind of high, or in the same sense as the old "being on Cloud Nine" expression.

I thought the room was shaking because their alter egos were rock and rolling next door. So when the wall blows open, it seems to me like they're giving in to the pull of the music and becoming who they were meant to be. Like the lyrics, it seems like saying goodbye to innocence or security and then finding freedom. Just my thoughts...

I get the impression that the songwriter is telling the deep, dark thoughts of an incel, from a tongue-in-cheek perspective, poking fun at them.
Woo first comment, i'm surprised this song is the best of them all! I don't know quite what it's about but at a guess i'd say sex.
Damn, I love this band!!
Yep, it's about sex, reminds me of a one night stand or something, like that's all it is "don't you take it personal" so maybe he just wants to have sex with her? And the morning after pill, yeah that prevents pregnancy
I love this band, also.
I love this band, also.
Love love love.I love them more than anyone else does. :P
Hehe.
Yeah a one night stand for sure but looks like she wants him and maybe his kid too... "don't you like the control"..birth control... just a thought.
wow, now that i have read the comments i can totally understand how it's all about sex. Thank you guys; and yeah it is for sure about a one night stand.
