And you will heal yourself when the rain begins to fall.
Feel the fire
Burning inside us all.
Remove me
For going in unchained.
Blow away for yourself and gather again.
And, listen to the conversations of the sea.
Inside us all
There's a quiet beach.
If we fall into ourselves we will become free.
I myself could use a little clarity.

I am so full of love.
I am so full of hate.
I am so full of these feelings
That turn me every which way.

I am so full of you.
I am so full of me.
I am so full of these words
That don't tell her a fucking thing.

I am so full of love.
I am so full of hate.
I am so full of these feelings
That turn me every which way.

Then I opened up my mouth.
I'm a cloud.
And these words they seldom come out.
When I looked into her eyes I cared enough to wonder why
She'd want a cloud that's *floating around.*

But I feel it's time to say goodbye to fear.
And feel the fury of these tears
As they run down my face
I can feel her so far away.

'Cause I am a cloud.
And I am so afraid.

I am so full of love.
I am so full of hate.
I am so full of these feelings
That turn me every which way.

So don't you come and gather at me in this haze.
I sit at home and feel the sun's daze.
*I should tell me not to little everyday.*
I blow away remaining unfazed.

When I feel the there's something crawling out of me
I'm just a cloud watching the moon rise.

These motherfuckers stepped on me,
Tried to fuck me from behind.

'Cause I am a cloud.
And I am so afraid.

And I... I am.
So... full of love.

I am so full of love.
I am so full of hate.
I am so full of these feelings
That turn me every which way.

I am so full of you.
I am so full of me.
I am so full of these words
That don't tell her a fucking thing.

I am so full of love.
I am so full of hate.
I am so full of these feelings
That turn me every which way.

I am... so full of love.
Love!

I am so full of love.
I am so full of hate.
I am so full of love.
I am so full of...

    General Comment:Seriously? This song about drugs? To those of you who made comments regarding this song being about drugs...you have obviously not known fear, or love, or uncertainty, or rejection, or been confused. The idea that a person really takes I'm a cloud and turns the metaphor into anything related to weed smoke makes me concerned for peoples diminished cognitive abilities. So please, by all means, go smoke some more.

    From an interview:
    In 2001, Boy Hits Car released their second self-titled album, which includes their hit single I'M A CLOUD. Already written in 1997, this song is about "a young man's struggle with who he is and where he fits in the world, and the fear of bringing another person into his uncertain life. He grapples with all the decisions faced in early manhood, while fighting to keep true to his dreams," this from CRegg, who writes all of the lyrics.

    General Comment:First person in four years!
    I assume this song is about drugs and paranoia, but really it's just an excuse to sing the line "These motherfuckers stepped on me, tried to fuck me from behind' nice and loud with my friends:)

    General Comment:I didn't pick which song means the most to me. I completely understand the story behind the second album and that is what intrigues me.

    General Comment:to me this song is about being stoned and losing someone you love because of it. 'I am a cloud..n i am so afraid'. Being high and havng the 'fear'. Dunno how accurate this is but I know I feel like that when ive been smoking 'I am so full of love I am s full of hate'..familure feelings to me
