I think that the boy has a dream to become a professional runner, and the girl (either his gf or best friend) supported him. She even helped him pick out his running shoes. But as he won more medals and titles, he became consumed in his dream & neglected spending time with the girl, so they eventually drifted apart. 7 years pass, and he finds his old running shoes, and they remind him of his childhood (it refers to them as a time capsule). He realizes he can't accomplish his dream without her, and that he actually loves her. He tries to contact her, but finds out she's dead (the reference to the "strings being cut"). I believe she may have committed suicide after she lost him, hence the reinforcement & repetitiveness of "everyone" & "anyone"" being a cloud rider". He then sees that there's no point in him accomplishing his dream alone, & decides to become a "cloud rider" himself so they can be reunited after death. He jumps off a tall building to his death, and the title is called "Cloud Rider" because you "ride the clouds" on the way down.
