Alright, I don't know WHO the song is about; but "clouds in my coffee" makes me think of the swirls that you get when you pour cream into coffee. They're fleeting but cool to watch. And in response to Sarou Booboo: I think that's the entire point. The song could be about anyone, but when this person hears it, they will immediately think that it is about them.. because they are vain. It's like when you put something in your Profile.. and everyone thinks that it was for them, like lyrics or a quote, but it wasn't for any of them.
I agree totally! I see that all the time. People read into coincidences. One morning a friend posted on Facebook that she was sick of arrogant people. I commented "Coffee STAT!" then after me about 8 people commented apologizing and asked if it was about them. She was just being cranky, like I assumed, but everyone's reactions showed how much people tend to internalize other people's behavior that has nothing to do with them.
