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!.
