Hurricane
Dayseeker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Were the truest red that I'd ever seen
Till you cut yourself on their thorns
You winced and I kissed you,
And I kissed your palms and we both laughed
So unaware of the gathering storm
It's gonna rain, it's gonna rain, till the levee breaks
Another fight into the night until nothing else remains
How do we find harbor from the hurricane?
Now sheltered in shadows,
The quiet song of your breath stirs the dark
Your skin like a rose 'neath my hand
And I can't keep from wondering
Why nothing good could ever stay
Why faith feels like a fistful of sand
It's gonna rain, it's gonna rain, till the levee breaks
A tidal wave of fear and pain carries us away
Another fight into the night until nothing else remains
How do we find harbor from the hurricane?
It's gonna rain, it's gonna rain, till the levee breaks
A tidal wave of fear and pain carries us away
Another fight into the night until nothing else remains
How do we find harbor from the hurricane?
The lyrics to Dayseeker's song Hurricane express the tumultuous, unpredictable nature of love and relationships. The first stanza describes a scene of innocence and beauty, with the singer and their partner laughing and kissing in the presence of vibrant red flowers. However, the image quickly turns dark as the partner cuts themselves on the thorns of the flowers, marking the beginning of the "gathering storm" that will soon consume the relationship. The chorus emphasizes the overwhelming intensity of this storm, with rain and fear carrying the lovers away and leaving them with nothing. The second stanza adds a layer of melancholy, as the singer acknowledges the fleeting nature of their happiness and the ever-present fear that it will slip away. Despite the tenderness of the moment - the partner's breath stirring the darkness, their skin soft like a rose - the singer cannot help but wonder why good things never last and why faith feels so fragile.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of powerlessness in the face of the hurricane of emotion that is love. The storm is inevitable, unpredictable, and often destructive, but the singer still longs for a way to find shelter from it.

Those flowers I found you
I brought you a gift, some beautiful flowers
Were the truest red that I'd ever seen
The flowers were the deepest shade of red that I had ever observed
Till you cut yourself on their thorns
But unfortunately, you accidentally pricked yourself on the thorns
You winced and I kissed you
In that moment, you winced in pain, and I comforted you by kissing you
And I kissed your palms and we both laughed
I continued kissing your hands, and we shared a happy moment together
So unaware of the gathering storm
We were unaware of the incoming danger and difficulties we would soon be facing
Now sheltered in shadows
Currently taking refuge in the darkness
The quiet song of your breath stirs the dark
Your gentle breathing is the only sound that breaks the silence of the night
Your skin like a rose 'neath my hand
Your skin is soft and delicate like that of a rose
And I can't keep from wondering
Despite the calmness, I can't help but feel anxious
Why nothing good could ever stay
I am contemplating why everything that is good tends to be short-lived and fragile
Why faith feels like a fistful of sand
And how belief in something can quickly slip away like sand through fingers
It's gonna rain, it's gonna rain, till the levee breaks
The incoming hurricane will bring a heavy downpour and possibly flood the area
A tidal wave of fear and pain carries us away
We are consumed by feelings of unease and suffering, just like a tidal wave can sweep one away
Another fight into the night until nothing else remains
We will continue to struggle until there is nothing left to fight for
How do we find harbor from the hurricane?
We must find a way to escape the incoming storm and seek refuge from its destruction
It's gonna rain, it's gonna rain, till the levee breaks
The message is reiterated - the hurricane will bring intense rainfall
A tidal wave of fear and pain carries us away
We are once again overwhelmed by our emotions and circumstances
Another fight into the night until nothing else remains
Our battle continues until there is nothing left to fight for or lose
How do we find harbor from the hurricane?
The lingering question remains - how can we escape and protect ourselves from this storm?

I'm 38 and Thrice has been one of my most treasured bands. This cover brought tears to my eyes. You guys did so exceptionally well. Thank you.
Tom Ryder
yep, they certainly added their own sound to it. not many covers can match the original. amy winehouse did a cover of valerie and made it her own. metallica covered thin lizzy and made it their own. dayseekers have done a fine job here too
love thrice!

@Tom Ryder great now I have to listen to it again THANKS lol
