Not sure if anyone else got this, but I always thought this was a song of religious despair and losing faith (though I myself am not religious, I think a great deal of the imagery and metaphor here is obvious and in many ways it seems to be addressed to God). I won't analyse the whole thing, it's better if you just listen and think about it, but what stuck out in particular to me was the line 'There's a cloud behind the cloud to which I'm yelling'. This to me seems to be a realisation that perhaps there is no God, but simply another cloud behind the cloud to which we're all yelling our prayers.
