Meaning of Cranes in the Sky lyrics by Solange

December 29, 2022

In the song “Cranes in the Sky” by Solange, the lyrics can be interpreted to refer to unhealthy coping mechanisms she used to attempt to deal with past emotional pain and trauma. From the lyrics, it is clear that the singer had tried to mask the pain or numb it out by drinking, shopping, dancing, sleeping, and overworking. Even when she moved to different places, invariably the pain continues to follow her. The chorus of the song, “It’s like cranes in the sky / Sometimes, I don’t wanna feel those metal clouds”, is symbolic of the hurt and sorrow that continues to haunt her that is as persistent and heavy like metal clouds in the sky that are difficult to escape. But it is in letting go and accepting one’s emotions that finally brings about real healing.
