Like A Hurricane
Francesca Blanchard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I just thought you'd be the same
There's other women I had known before
Maria, with your cold black eyes
Girl you had me mesmerized
I saw you coming from a mile away
Heard you might be passing through
Even though I knew that you were wild
Wasn't 'til I saw you near
Thrashing through the atmosphere
Knew that I'd be hurting for a while
Now all my dreams have drowned, you turned my world around
You and your twisted crown, queen of the lost and found
You blew my home away, everything has changed
I'll never be the same as the day you came
Just like a hurricane (hey)
(Ohh-ohh-ohh)
Maria, I was so naive, careless dancing in the breeze
You didn't make it easy
Now I am kneeling on my knees
And you're just a brutal memory
Heard you might be passing through
So I wrote a love song just for you
Even though I knew that you were wild
Wasn't 'til I saw you near
Thrashing through the atmosphere
Knew that I'd be hurting for a while
Now all my dreams have drowned, you turned my world around
You and your twisted crown, queen of the lost and found
You blew my home away, everything has changed
I'll never be the same as the day you came
Just like a hurricane
Just like a hurricane
Oh, just like a hurricane (hey)
Ooh (ohh-ohh-ohh)
Ooh
Ooh (ohh-ohh-ohh)
Ooh
The song "Like a Hurricane" by Francesca Blanchard is a haunting tale of a man's encounter with a woman named Maria. The lyrics suggest that he had heard of her before, but didn't expect her to be anything special. However, he becomes immediately captivated by her when he meets her. The lyrics paint Maria as a wild and unpredictable force, much like a hurricane. The man knows she will bring him pain, but he cannot resist her.
The lyrics suggest that the man wrote a love song for Maria, even though he knew she was trouble. He describes her as the queen of the lost and found, a metaphor for her ability to shake up his world and leave him lost and confused. The chorus repeats the metaphor of Maria being like a hurricane, with the lyrics "you blew my home away, everything has changed." The man realizes that his life will never be the same after Maria.
The final lyrics suggest that the man is still reeling from his encounter with Maria. He kneels on his knees, seemingly broken by the experience. The final repetition of the chorus reinforces the idea that Maria was a powerful presence in his life, much like a destructive natural disaster.

Maria, I'd heard your name
I had heard about you before, Maria
But I just thought you'd be the same
I underestimated you and assumed you would be like everyone else
There's other women I had known before
I had met other women in my life
Maria, with your cold black eyes
You, Maria, had black eyes that felt empty and appeared emotionless
Girl you had me mesmerized
You had me completely under your spell
I saw you coming from a mile away
I was aware that you were coming towards me
Heard you might be passing through
I had heard that you were going to be in the area
So I wrote a love song just for you
In anticipation of your arrival, I wrote a song inspired by my feelings for you
Even though I knew that you were wild
Despite knowing that you were unpredictable
Wasn't 'til I saw you near
It wasn't until I saw you up close
Thrashing through the atmosphere
You were wild and turbulent in your movements
Knew that I'd be hurting for a while
I knew that you would cause me emotional pain for some time
Now all my dreams have drowned, you turned my world around
You destroyed my hopes and dreams and completely changed my life
You and your twisted crown, queen of the lost and found
You, with all your issues, had authority over the lost and hopeless
You blew my home away, everything has changed
You destroyed what I had built, and everything is different now
I'll never be the same as the day you came
My life will never be the same as the day you came into my life
Just like a hurricane (hey)
You were just like a hurricane, destructive and intense
Maria, I was so naive, careless dancing in the breeze
I was foolish and carefree, dancing without a care in the world, Maria
You didn't make it easy
You made things very difficult for me
Now I am kneeling on my knees
Now I am pleading and begging for mercy
And you're just a brutal memory
And now you're just a painfully vivid memory
