Thunder
Boys Like Girls Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Today is a winding road
That's taking me to places that I didn't want to go
Whoa (whoa, whoa, whoa)
Today in the blink of an eye
I'm holding on to something and I do not know why
I tried

I tried to read between the lines
I tried to look in your eyes
I want a simple explanation
What I'm feeling inside
I gotta find a way out
Maybe there's a way out

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder, and I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
I don't wanna ever love another
You'll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
And bring on the thunder

Today is a winding road
Tell me where to start and tell me something I don't know
Whoa (whoa, whoa, whoa)
Today I'm on my own
I can't move a muscle and I can't pick up the phone
I don't know (don't know, don't know, don't know)

And now I'm itching for the tall grass
And longing for the breeze
I need to step outside
Just to see if I can breathe
I gotta find a way out
Maybe there's a way out

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder, and I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
I don't wanna ever love another
You'll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain

Yeah, I'm walking on a tightrope
I'm wrapped up in vines
I think we'll make it out
But you just gotta give me time
Strike me down with lightning, let me feel you in my veins
I wanna let you know how much I feel your pain

Today is a winding road
That's taking me to places that I didn't want to go
Whoa

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder, and I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
I don't wanna ever love another
You'll always be my thunder, and I said

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
Oh, baby, bring on the pain
And listen to the thunder

Overall Meaning

"Thunder" by Boys Like Girls is a song that reflects on the unpredictability of life and relationships. The lyrics describe a winding road that leads the singer to unexpected places and situations that leave them feeling lost and confused. Despite this uncertainty, the singer acknowledges their attachment to a person whom they regard as their "thunder," meaning they bring excitement and passion into their life. The chorus repeats the phrase "your voice was the soundtrack of my summer," creating a vivid image of the singer's fond memories with this person. The song concludes with the singer's plea to their thunder to stay by their side even in difficult times, using thunder and rain as a metaphor for facing obstacles together.


The chorus of "Thunder" is particularly memorable and relatable because it speaks to the universal experience of attaching memories and emotions to songs. The song's title and chorus suggest that the person in the singer's life is as powerful and awe-inspiring as a thunderstorm, and that their voice and presence have left an indelible mark on the singer's life. The tightrope metaphor in the bridge of the song is also effective in emphasizing the singer's sense of vulnerability and the uncertainty of their situation. The repetition of the word "whoa" throughout the song adds to its emotional intensity and helps to create a sense of climax in the chorus.
