Cloud 9 Lyrics

How do you feel?
I know your loss is not an easy thing
I know the pain, it is in our eyes
Recover regret, unfold the ending
Understand the symbolic healing in the mind
We feel it in the lonely night

See the light above you in the night
The memory seems to be aware this time
Please show me the fallen ones
I can't take my eyes off you
I know that they said we all will be fine
Above cloud number nine
Above cloud number nine

How do you feel?
I know it's hurting, an unbearable thing
But life moves on and you will be fine
Get hold of yourself, you're not that lonely
Friends around you will help the healing in the mind
We feel it in the lonely night

No sign of happiness waiting for you at the very top
They're are only memories of how you got there hallelujah
So make it all worthwhile, do not forsake
What is yours 'cause you're only here today

They're are only memories of how you got there hallelujah
So make it all worthwhile, do not forsake

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This track is about the experience of loss and the process of healing. It invites us to reflect on our journeys of overcoming hardship and finding solace, using things like 'we' to explain how the feelings of loss are something we all go through; It's a part of being human. The name is more a reference to the lie we tell others that we feel fine, feeling like we're up above cloud nine in bliss, when it's just a lie to mask our tears. Ultimately, it tells us to be resilient, reminding us that healing is possible and that we are not alone in our struggles.
