____________________________________


I've been thinking maybe I've been partly cloudy

Maybe I'm the chance of rain

And maybe I'm overcast

And maybe all my luck's washed down the drain


I've been thinking about the meaning of resistance

Of a road beyond our own

And suddenly the infinite and repentant

Begin to look like home

--------------------------------------!.!.!.




Here is the entire song:


Maybe I've been the problem

Maybe I'm the one to blame

But even when I turn it off and blame myself

The outcome feels the same

I've been thinking maybe I've been partly cloudy

Maybe I'm the chance of rain

And maybe I'm overcast

And maybe all my luck's washed down the drain

Stars looking at a planet

Watching entropy and pain

And maybe to start to wonder

How the chaos in our lives could

Pass as sane

I've been thinking about the meaning of resistance

Of a road beyond our own

And suddenly the infinite and repentant

Begin to look like home

Well!.!.!. Its really how you interpret the song!.
This is how I see it

"I've been thinking maybe I've been partly cloudy

Maybe I'm the chance of rain

And maybe I'm overcast

And maybe all my luck's washed down the drain"

-->He describes his moods with weather, always changing!. Partly cloudy being confused and a chance of rain being upset!.


"I've been thinking about the meaning of resistance

Of a road beyond our own

And suddenly the infinite and repentant

Begin to look like home"

-This song is about finding meaning in a chaotic world through religion!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

In the first stanza he's being pessimistic, blaming himself for the bad situation!. Saying he was the cause or "impending doom" that causes everyone's downfall!.

Then he is talking about heaven and the afterlife, and saying they look good to him!. So he is almost suicidal in the last line!. Saying the infinite almost looks like home!.
