Cloud Of Unknowing Lyrics

Cover art for Cloud Of Unknowing lyrics by Gorillaz

This song is about love, in my opinion.

"On the cloud of unknowing My world seems open Every satellite up here is wanting But I was here from the very start Trying to find a way to your heart"

Not knowing how a person feels about you, you're open to what everything or everyone says about that person, or everything that happens with that person.

There are people around you doing their own thing with love, but you were there for the person you love/like first, no one else.

"All the days are forgetting They've gone out with the tide Lost at sea somewhere, waiting Like setting suns at the rodeo Trying to find someone you'll never know"

Each day that passes that you don't know how that person feels, the day is just forgotten, or wasted. And out to sea they go, because if you find out (Like setting suns at the rodeo) those days will still be waiting for you. But the chance of you finding out, is slim. It's like trying to find someone you'll never know.

"Oh, sinking love On the cloud of unknowing Every satellite up here is wanting Waiting to see what the morning brings May bring sunshine on its wings"

Still not knowing, that 'sinking' feeling of not knowing if a person loves you back. People still dealing with all of their own love problems, but your mind is focused on yours and yours only. The truth, the 'morning', is what we wait for, and we can only hope it's a beautiful truth. 'May bring sunshine on its wings.'

:) Just my interpretation.

My Interpretation

@Occhio It's a good interpretation and just what I was thinking/feeling today. One of Bobby's best. So painfully beautiful. We miss you Bobby. X
