Lyrics: Miracle Musical - Variations on a Cloud 

haha once I heard the same vibes of ruler of everything I was like: hol up lemme search this song up.. and here we are

@@starmax1000they added some lyrics too

same lmao@@starmax1000

I guess it was added to hint at the bands true identity

I figured that out while I was listening to Variations on a Cloud, and I was like "hmmmm...this seems familiar..WAIT IT'S THE PART IN DSISM"

Dont forget The Ruler of Everything

@@YAYJOBS forgot about that one, thanks

0:57 sounds really familiar, is that from something else? Edit: nvm I think I was just thinking about come alive from the greatest showman. But 2:11 does kinda remind me of that one bit in Dream Sweet so, hey.

Is "Ladies and gentleman, please" a reference to Banana Man? I never listened to Isle Unto Thyself so idk if it's from that

​@@Zubinn7475Ah yes, four words that are commonly used is DEFINITELY a reference to another song!

its (tally h)all

This song isn't in an album tho

@@Zubinn7475yeah, variations on a cloud is an album! it’s just a single, or an album with only 1 song in it! :)

Keep it coming back and coming back and coming back 🗣️🗣️🗣️

vulpes_iridis But I'm not sure if it's about 9/11 (It very well could be) or if it's using 9/11/twin tower imagery to convey something else. The song itself doesn't reference the towers themselves, and while some lyrics don't make sense without the music video, I'm not quite sold on that being a concrete meaning. But I've been wrong before,

vulpes_iridis Really? Where else? I never noticed that. But I did notice that vocoder is used specifically in Hawaii Part II. I think vocoder might represent soul or spirit, maybe inner thought.

This song is about society’s larger reaction to 9/11, with the “cloud” having “variations” being the cloud of smoke from the World Trade Center. Everything changed in differing ways, with some solutions and world-views pointing one way and others pointing a different way. The part before the first chorus shows a flavor of this in having a two-voiced segment saying opposite things about the same event. This song was also made to lament the split-up of Tally Hall, tying Miracle Musical’s Hawaii Part ii with Marvin’s Marvelous Mechanical Museum by including references to Isle Unto Thyself and Murders with Ruler of Everything. If anyone has any deeper insight, or if I’m cosplaying the subject of The Mind Electric, feel free to tag me in a reply.

Kinda a mix of abstract ideas. A less abstract one, however, is the death of Tally Hall.

@@acronscawlernc6697 In my personal opinion, the way you perceive a song is how its meaning is true. The 9/11 references are there, its even hinted from the creator. the line that says: "Miracle Worker I saw you begin it! Walking the water! (so soft on the rain)" is a reference to when the stunt performer named "Miracle Worker" tightrope across the twin towers, on a foggy day, hence the reference to rain. Another reference to 9/11 is the lines: "Jump to end it all. Let this one break the fall" refer to the footage of people jumping off the twin towers to kill themselves. The three people chorus starting at 2:13 is how the world felt after the tragedy. Some felt terrified, depressed, confused. Others felt that it wasn't their issue. Heck, our generation today doesn't even know the effect of 9/11. All these glaring signs point to a song about 9/11, but narratively, the tone fits with the ending of Hawaii: part II. Hawaii: part II is a whole other story in of itself. (if you know either stories of Hawaii: part II then you can just skip this next paragraph) I personally like to lean into two different stories: a man meets a woman whilst on a trip to Hawaii. Together they fall in love and end the night by dancing at to the "white ball" in the sky (i.e. the moon). However the man discovers that his lover was murdered, he is put in trial due to being a prime suspect. in the court case he pleads for insanity so that he doesn't go to prison. The judge then "condemns them to the infirmary" as hinted in: The Mind Electric. The man is then subject to electric shock therapy, a type of therapy that used to be used where the patient would endure electric currents within the body. Supposedly it was meant to calm the brain down, basically slap it in the face and tell it to go back to normal. However, electric shock therapy isn't very good for humans as it is no longer practiced that often today. The man actually goes insane and endures years of being inside an asylum. Once his therapy is concluded, he boards a boat to head home, depressed he contemplates his current life, and remembers the love he lost years ago. Driven from his insanity, he hears her in the distance, on the horizon at the sea, and decides to set sail to there. From there, the man gets lost at sea, and dies, where he is reunited with his lover. the alternative story, one less positive is the one where the man is responsible for killing his lover. He endures electric shock therapy, goes insane, depressed at sea, he dies. When, however he steps into the afterlife, his lover tells him that he cannot follow her, as the sins he committed cannot allow him to pass into heaven. At the end of: "Dream Sweet in Major Sea" he accepts his fate and takes the responsibility of his sins, and braces for whatever may happen next. From a narrative standpoint, this song is the song that symbolizes their reunion in the afterlife if the positive story remains true (the one where the man is innocent). If this song is strictly an homage to 9/11, then the negative story remains true (one where the man is the killer). However, the way I like to think of it is that both are true. You can think however the song is about, you shouldn't let the defining qualities of what a creator says define what you believe what a song is about. So, I'm gonna end this little exposition here by stating this: its about 9/11 and Hawaii: part II, if you want to make it about either one.
