"Cloudbusting" is a song about independence and determination that speaks to the need to break free from oppressive forces. It follows a young boy's attempts to free himself and his father from oppression by means of the Rainmaker machine, based on the Wilhelm Reich invention of the same name. The song depicts a dream the young boy has of being on top of the world where he can make it rain with the Rainmaker machine, symbolizing his control of his own destiny. The lyrics express his longing for autonomy and defiance of oppressive forces, as well as his faith in something good happening eventually. This is shown in the lines "But just saying it could even make it happen" and "Ooh, I just know that something good is gonna happen". The bridge, "We're cloudbusting, daddy", reflects their determination to break free and gain control of their own lives. Ultimately, the song expresses the power of belief and how it can help to break through oppressive forces.
