another yay dssiblfyhtfetrf. additionally, I hate people who come here, to a site called "SongMeanings" and just post "omg, shit fuck totally love this song, lolz". thank you to rebbel_ace for being the lone user to offer an opinion on what he thinks the song means.

anyway, my 2 cents... I think the song is about people having to go about their days being generally nice to people they interact with. The repeated chorus is a reminder that every cloud has a silver lining, that they love everyone, etc, to keep them going. Instead inside people hate themselves for having to keep this up: "you hate yourself, you do". Ultimately, I think people realize they have to be nice to fit in, so the "my cloud ..." saying wins out, because after saying "that's why I hate you" twice, the song ends with "that's why I love you". And realizing this, the response is "so fuuuuuuuck yoooooou"

they have to go about their lives and be happy, with the chorus being repeated
