Hurricane
Augustana Lyrics

Down on Third Avenue
The setting of the scene, Third Avenue, which is where the story will unfold.

The singer's singin' the blues
The mood is somber and melancholic, as indicated by the blues music playing in the background.

And I got nothin' to lose
The singer, who has hit rock bottom, has nothing left to lose and everything to gain.

I'm just comin' back for you
Despite facing numerous hardships, the artist is determined to come back and win over someone they love.

Well, life is a sign of the times
Life is a reflection of the current era, with all its complexities and uncertainties.

And faith is a sight for the blind
Faith provides hope and meaning to those who may be lost or struggling.

And love is a riddle and a rhyme
Love is complex and unpredictable, and can be interpreted in many different ways depending on the circumstances.

And time goes quickly by
Time is fleeting, and it's easy to lose track of it amidst the chaos of life.

Like hell on high wire
The artist is embroiled in a dangerous situation, where they are barely hanging on and could fall at any moment.

I'm caught in a wildfire
The situation is escalating out of control, like a wildfire that's spreading uncontrollably.

Lights are blinding
The world can be overwhelming and disorienting, like bright lights that blind one's senses.

River's winding
The path forward is uncertain, like a winding river that could lead anywhere.

Heaven's rain fell
The heavens have opened up, unleashing a deluge of emotions and hardships onto the singer.

On fallen angels
The singer is surrounded by others who have fallen from grace, much like fallen angels.

Never minding the silver lining
Despite the hardships, the singer is determined to persevere and not focus on the silver lining.

Well, you can only pray
In times of great hardship, all one can do is pray for the best outcome.

When you're waiting out the hurricane
The artist is in the midst of a storm, and must wait out the chaos until it subsides.

Well, sinners sin with the saints
Even the best of us have our vices and flaws, much like those who are considered sinners.

And givers give what they take
Those who are generous and kind often give more than they take from the world around them.

Come on, and lovers love what you hate
Despite our feelings of dislike or animosity towards something, we should try to approach it with love and understanding.

Man I know it's never too late
Despite the challenges, there is always room for redemption and change.

The rider's out on the run
A new character is introduced, who is on the run from something or someone.

The valley leads to the sun
There is hope and light at the end of the dark and winding road.

All colors bleed into one
Despite our differences, we all bleed the same, and can come together as one human race.
