Hurricane
Grayson Matthews Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Going through my brain
You know you left me nothing
Feelings I can't explain
We pushed it hard
We made it work
It made us better
Don't want to drown in the water
Hurricane
Burn out my weather vane
We thought we'd get away
That love was thicker than water
Love was thicker than water
And nows it's of control
You can be a hurricane
As you leave a trail of dust on the ground
Don't you know
It's such a shame
To burn out just as you reach the ground
The definition of
A hurricane in love
You swear, and you storm, and you love
And now you've taken my soul, my soul, my soul
It's taking me over, over, over
You've taken my soul, my soul, my soul
And now it's out of control
Hurricane
Can't even say your name
You know you left me full of
Feelings I can't sustain
We came so far
Through stormy weather
We always told each other
"Love was thicker than water"
Hurricane
Going through my brain
You know you left me nothing (love was thicker than water)
Feelings I can't explain Love was thicker than water And now it's out of control
You can be a hurricane
As you leave a trail of dust on the ground
Don't you know
It's such a shame
To burn out just as you reach the ground
The definition of
A hurricane in love
You swear, and storm, and you love
And now it's taken my soul, my soul, my soul,
It's taken me over, over, over
You've taken my soul, my soul, my soul
And now it's out of control
You can be a hurricane
As you leave a trail of dust on the ground
Don't you know
It's such a shame
To burn out just as you reach the ground
The definition of
A hurricane in love
You swear, and you storm, and you love
And now you've taken my soul, my soul, my soul
It's taken me over, over, over
You taken my soul, my soul, my soul
And now it's out of control
The song "Hurricane" by Grayson Matthews refers to a tumultuous relationship and the intense feelings that come with it. The opening line of the song, "Hurricane going through my brain," tells us that the relationship is consuming and overwhelming. The lyrics suggest that the relationship may have started out strong and positive ("We pushed it hard, we made it work, it made us better...we came so far through stormy weather"), but that it has now become destructive and unsustainable ("You know you left me nothing, feelings I can't sustain"). The use of the metaphor of a hurricane emphasizes that the relationship is powerful, unpredictable, and potentially dangerous.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the idea that the relationship is a force of nature that the singer cannot control: "You can be a hurricane as you leave a trail of dust on the ground...to burn out just as you reach the ground." The line "love was thicker than water" appears several times in the song, suggesting that the writer believed that the love in the relationship would be enough to weather any storm, but now realizes that it's not going to be enough.
Overall, the song portrays the intensity and passion of a relationship that has gone too far, and suggests that it is better to cut your losses before it's too late.
