“Cloudlifter” is the sixth song off of their seventh album. Loyola Phoenix writer Mary Grace Ritter points out that instead of featuring a chorus, the song focuses on “a slow, psychedelic, ethereal guitar riff.” This is one of the shortest songs on the album.
There's a mythical animal called the unicorn. The unicorn is only mythical, and it's a mixture, it's a spiritual, and it really is a move. When you get on that unicorn, you don't know where you're going, why you're going, you just, you're going
Can I quit? Venom when I spit
Let it rip, think I cannabis
Take a hit, I'm a catalyst
Of cool shit, colder than a bitch (Everest)
Masochist, tell 'em I am sick
Yes, I burn, kinda like a witch
I have earned everything I get
I don't trip, you ain't really shit
Oh shit now
Ocean sound
I need a pound
Get me in trouble
Sleepwalking around
Cloudlifter shrouded in smoke from my tongue
Sun twister, I blister, melt from the sky
Clydesdales running free man
High as hell, let me be man
I ain't afraid of burning trees down
So let it rain and feel the wind blow
Cut my chains and let my reins go
It's my time, time to reload
You can't stop me when it's time to ride
And I'ma go where I wanna go
Oh no, what's that sound I hear in my head?
I've been sleepwalking for miles on end
Cloudlifter, shape shifter, changing the wind
Oh, please forgive me for all of my sins
When that unicorn shows up, it's up to you to get on it. And that's what acid did. Acid is that unicorn that came in, and we both got on. And she hugged me and I hugged her and we just rode off. And it took us to this, to this place, where everything was soft, and fresh and clean. So full of love. So full of love
