She's Thunderstorms
Arctic Monkeys Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She's thunderstorms
Lyin' on her front
Up against the wall
She's thunderstorms

I've been feelin' foolish
You should try it
She came and substituted
The peace and quiet for
Acrobatic blood flow concertina
Cheatin' heart beat
Rapid fire

She's thunderstorms
Lyin' on her front
Up against the wall
She's thunderstorms
Here is your host
Sounds as if she's pretty close
When the heat starts growing horns
She's thunderstorms

She's been loop-the-loopin'
Around my mind
Her motorcycle boots give
Me this kind of
Acrobatic blood concertina
Cheatin' heart beat
Rapid fire

She's thunderstorms
Lyin' on her front
Up against the wall
She's thunderstorms

In an unusual place
When you're feelin' far away
She does what the night does to the day

She's thunderstorms
Lyin' on her front
Up against the wall
She's thunderstorms
Thunderstorms
Thunderstorms

The first stanza talks about her physical presence, her lying on her front and up against the wall, creating a vibrant image of her. The second stanza talks about the feelings the singer has towards this woman, where he admits feeling foolish, and she substituted his peace and quiet for an acrobatic blood flow concertina and rapid-fire cheatin' heartbeat. It appears the woman's presence fills the singer with excitement and makes him feel alive.


The third stanza talks about how this woman is loop-the-looping around his mind, and her motorcycle boots accentuate her acrobatic energy. The fourth stanza talks about how finding yourself in an unusual place, feeling far away, is not a struggle when this woman is around.
