Sep 12, 2023 · The lyrics of “Get Off of My Cloud” convey a sense of frustration and the desire for personal space. It reflects the band’s experience with fame and the invasion of their privacy.

The catchy chorus expresses the main sentiment of the song: “Hey (Hey), you (You), get off of my cloud. Don’t hang around ’cause two’s a crowd on my cloud, baby.” The cloud serves as a metaphor for the narrator’s personal space, and he insists that others should stay off his cloud and not encroach upon his solitude.
