The Clouding Lyrics

Cover art for The Clouding lyrics by Iced Earth

Well, I have quite a literal take on this song, but it's so beautifully written and has such a calming tune to it..

Sounds a lot like someone who is going through a lot of depression trying to find themselves inside, asking a lot of questions about life and what it means. They lost trust in all mankind and something happened to make it that way. They feel that nobody is worthy of their thoughts except those very close.

I'm new to Iced Earth, but I'm loving every minute of 'em

Your half right The song is meant to be literal Because the album its from is a concept album.

This song takes place after the Setians have Clouded (AKA brainwashed) humanity into forgetting where they came from, and creating different languages and religions to divide mankind.
