your cloud
Where the river cross
crosses
the lake
Because this song is about the impossibility of segregation this intro is talking about how a river will always run through itself over and over again.
Where the words
jump off my
pen and
into your pages
Do you think
just like that
You can divide
This
You as yours
Me as mine
to before we were
Us
She's telling whoever she's talking to this they cannot divide themselves from her because they have already been perminately written on each other's body map...each other memories and hearts.
if the rain
Has
to separate from
Itself
does it say
"pick out your
cloud"?
pick out your
cloud
Even if something or someone has to go far away from whoever or whatever, they can still have this connection. Maybe it's a star that they can both look at, a memoriabelia...in this case, it's a cloud.
If there is a Horizontal Line
that runs from the MAP
off your body straight through
the Land shooting up
right through my heart
Will this Horizontal Line
when asked know how to find
Where you end
where I begin
"pick out your
cloud"
Humans have no ending, we just keep going and going and with this thread there is no separation from each other. We carry each other even if we don't necessarily want to because they have a/effected us.
How Light can
play and form a Ring
of Rain that can change
bows into arrows
Along time, things start to mesh and become one.
(I found a thrill)
Who we were
isn't lost
Before we were
Us
Even if a couple has broken up does not mean that everything that shared was meaningless because if it was, it wouldn't have this much impact on you. So you are understanding that your humanity is that you are sensitive and fullfilled no matter how empty you feel because their spirit whether they know it or not is still present.
Indigo is his
own
Blue always
knew
this
if the rain
Has
to separate from
Itself
does it say
"pick out your
cloud"?

Here's Tori's description of it:
She leaves him on the border at Laredo and YOUR CLOUD finds her travelling alone up the Mississippi to Memphis. From there she travels on to a place where thousands of Cherokees died. "She's thinking about the idea of segregation and people separating themselves from the land. Everybody has a body map, and she's trying to find hers." She also visits the battlefields of the Civil War, before she arrives in Philadelphia where she sees the Liberty Bell - and observes that it is cracked.
-- Scarlet's Walk bio
"Here she goes uhh trundling across the country making her way somewhere, not quite sure where it's leading her. But she goes to the Mississippi and not far out of Memphis is where umm there's a national monument. There's this acknowledgment of where a lot of the Cherokees died, didn't make it to Indian territory on the Trail of Tears, where a lot of them perished. And in Your Cloud, so much of it is about segregation - even of a raindrop. The separation that the tearing apart of a tear, extracting that. Cutting that apart - the division. It's about separating that which you cannot separate. Not really. There will be strands, there will be molecules. And taking those people from their land. The land of the ancestors. Taking a child away from it's mother. That doesn't mean that there aren't pieces of that child still in that mother just because it's been, you know, delivered from her womb. Because a couple separates doesn't mean that there aren't pieces of him still in her."
