Through the Storm
Alarcon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I Can't Predict The Predicament That We're Rising From
Exclusion Delusions On My Mind
Cold Black Stare And A Hollow Smile
You're Going Down To The Graveyard On Your Own
But In The Land Of The Dead You'll Be On The Throne
And When The Visions Subside
The Enemy Takes Its Toll
The Tears Are Coming Think It's Time I Call
I've Been Here Before
The Air's Growing Thin
Won't You Open The Door
This Life's Passed Us By
And It Hurts Me To Know
(I Wish I Didn't Know)
That This Is The End
One Step, Two Steps
Some Things In Life Are Worth Fighting For
Ascend And Defend
Confusions Illusions Justified
Out Of The Abyss Comes A Fearless Cry
I've Been Revitalized, Dignified, Give Me Your Eyes
I Want To See What Life Is Like
The Fear Is Losing Control
Into The Depths We Will Go
And Through Your Grace We Have Hope
The Sky Is Falling Think It's Time I Call
I've Been Here Before
The Air's Growing Thin
Won't You Open The Door
I Know I Was Wrong
Won't You Help Me Find A Way
Cause This Time I Know
(I Wish I Didn't Know)
That This Is The End
And I Know You're With Me
Through The Storm
I Know You're With Me
God You Are, Beautiful
The lyrics of "Through the Storm" by Alarcon talk about going through tough times without knowing what the result will be. The song suggests a feeling of confusion and isolation with phrases like “I can’t predict the predicament that we’re rising from,” and “exclusion delusions on my mind.” The allusion to death is also present in the song with the line “You’re going down to the graveyard on your own, but in the land of the dead you’ll be on the throne,” suggesting an internal struggle leading to a transformation.
The lyrics also mention the fear of losing control, but finding hope and grace through it all. The chorus repeats “I’ve been here before, the air’s growing thin,” which can signify how overwhelming the situation feels. The last line, “God You are, beautiful,” suggests an acknowledgment of a higher power that is helping the singer through the storm.
Overall, the song seems to convey a message of resilience in the face of adversity. Despite not knowing what the future holds, there is hope that everything will be alright, and having faith can help one overcome the challenges they face.
