The Storm
Dylan Fraser Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Losing vision in the night
The light, it dies, waters rise
Fill my lungs and watch me die
Sold my soul at market price
Hope I make it out alive
Burn like wildfire taking flight
Gonna weather the storm
Don't care whether it pours down
The heavens will fall
I'll be there for the fallout
Gonna weather the storm
I'll be there for it all
Lightning cries, I'll let it strike me down
Let it strike me down
Let it strike me down
Hurricane, what's your game?
Take my breath and take my name
Frozen lake, watch it break
Think I'm drowning, can't escape
Sold my soul at market price
Hope I make it out alive
Burn like wildfire taking flight
Let it rise, rise, rise
Gonna weather the storm
Don't care whether it pours down
The heavens will fall
I'll be there for the fallout
Gonna weather the storm
I'll be there for it all
Lightning cries, I'll let it strike me down
Let it strike me down
Let it strike me down
The lyrics to Dylan Fraser's "The Storm" convey a sense of resilience in the midst of chaos and uncertainty. The opening lines introduce the image of "blinded eyes" and "losing vision in the night," creating a foreboding atmosphere that is intensified by the subsequent reference to drowning as "waters rise / fill my lungs and watch me die." It is suggested that the singer has "sold [their] soul at market price," showing that they are willing to do what it takes to survive, but uncertain if they will make it through the storm alive.
Despite this uncertainty, the chorus exudes a sense of defiance and determination, with the singer proclaiming that they will "weather the storm" no matter what happens. The repetition of this phrase emphasizes the singer's resolve, while the line "I'll be there for the fallout" demonstrates a willingness to face the consequences of their actions, whatever they may be. In the second verse, the hurricane serves as a metaphor for the forces that threaten to overwhelm the singer, yet they remain steadfast, letting the lightning strike them down if they must.
Overall, "The Storm" is a song that speaks to the human experience of facing difficult times head-on, even in the face of great uncertainty and danger.
