Hurricane
Chris Wallace Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I opened my eyes
To the wreckage all around me
Look what you've done
Don't know why, you left without warning
Just a hit and run

Now I'm taking back all my love you stole
Erasing you baby
Got to get my mind right
Got to take control
Before I go crazy

You hit me like a hurricane
You know you got me spinning round and round
I brought you through it all the way
And you tried to take me down, down, down, down.
You thought you could bend me, break me
But I'm only stronger now (only stronger now)
Yeah, you hit me like a hurricane
But you'll never take me down, down, down, down

I was lost
Just caught up in the chaos
I was so far gone
I see it now
There was nothing that could save us
So I'm moving on
Now I'm taking back all my love you stole
Erasing you baby
Got to get my mind right
Got to take control
Before I go crazy

You hit me like a hurricane
You know you got me spinning round and round
I brought you through it all the way
And you tried to take me down, down, down, down.
You thought you could bend me, break me
But I'm only stronger now (only stronger now)
Yeah, you hit me like a hurricane
But you'll never take me down, down, down, down

You hit me like a hurricane (a hurricane)

I'm over it
Its overdue
Cause the worst part of me I left with you
I don't want you back
Don't care what you say
All the wreckage that you left
You know, I threw it away

You hit me like a hurricane
You know you got me spinning round and round
I brought you through it all the way
And you tried to take me down, down, down, down.
You thought you could bend me, break me
But I'm only stronger now (only stronger now)
Yeah, you hit me like a hurricane




But you'll never take me down, down, down, down
You hit me like a hurricane.

Overall Meaning

In Chris Wallace's song "Hurricane," the opening lyrics say, "I opened my eyes, To the wreckage all around me, Look what you've done, Don't know why, you left without warning, Just a hit and run." It's clear from the start that the song details the aftermath of a particularly damaging relationship, where Wallace finds himself picking up the pieces of what was left behind. He's unsure why his partner left without warning, and it's evident that he's struggling to come to terms with the situation.


However, Chris Wallace is not one to dwell, and he quickly turns his focus to reclaiming his life. His lyrics go, "Now I'm taking back all my love you stole, Erasing you baby, Got to get my mind right, Got to take control, Before I go crazy." The song gives a voice to those who have been hurt before, and it's about taking control of their life by moving on from the past. Although he's been hit hard by the hurricane of his former flame, he's not going down without a fight.


In the chorus, he sings, "You hit me like a hurricane, You know you got me spinning round and round, I brought you through it all the way, And you tried to take me down, down, down, down. You thought you could bend me, break me, But I'm only stronger now (only stronger now), Yeah, you hit me like a hurricane, But you'll never take me down, down, down, down." The lyrics are an empowering statement to anyone who's ever had their heart broken. It's a message of hope, reminding listeners that although the storm may have hit hard, they are not powerless against it, and they will come out stronger than before.
