Hurricane
Dr. Alban Lyrics

Lookin' at the blood red sky (alone in my window)
Observing the sky that has a bloody red hue, while being all by myself near my window.

Heard another distant cry (alone in my window)
Picking up a sound of someone crying afar, while being all by myself near my window.

Wind up and I go inside (alone in my window)
Feeling the winds picking up, and then retreating indoors, while being all by myself near my window.

I gotta have another try
I need to attempt something again.

Rushin' by the blood red tide (alone in my window)
Seeing the tide rushing past, while it too has a red hue, while being all by myself near my window.

Can't swallow and my mouth is dry (alone in my window)
Feeling an inability to swallow, with a dry mouth, while being all by myself near my window.

I just can't grip another line (alone in my window)
Failing to properly hold onto anything else, while being all by myself near my window.

Watchin' my time pass me by, in my window say yeah
Observing as time continues to flow and I am not able to do anything productive, and expressing a feeling of resignation using 'yeah.'

hurricane comes...
The impending arrival of a hurricane, which will bring with it chaos and destruction.

I hollered don't ask me why (alone in my window)
Exclaiming loudly that there is no clear reason why certain events are happening, while being all by myself near my window.

I was supposed to get another try (alone in my window)
Feeling that I should have been given another opportunity to succeed, while being all by myself near my window.

And no-one told me how to ride (alone in my window)
Not receiving proper guidance on how to handle challenges, while being all by myself near my window.

It's funny how it all slips by, in my window say yeah
Feeling a sense of slight amusement at how time moves on and things change, even amidst difficulty, and again using 'yeah' to express that slightly humorous feeling.

When the hurricane comes to town
The arrival of a destructive hurricane in the area.

Comin' back here in a hot July (alone in my window)
Returning to the same place during a hot July month, while being all by myself near my window.

With my net I'm huntin' dragonflies (alone in my window)
Engaging in a playful activity such as trying to catch dragonflies using a net, while being all by myself near my window.

Mama's callin', gotta go inside (alone in my window)
Hearing one's mother calling, and hence having to leave the activity to return indoors, while being all by myself near my window.

Sunsettin' in the golden sky, in my window say yeah
Observing the sunset in the golden sky, and again expressing a sense of appreciation and amusement about it with 'yeah.'
