Hurricane
Halsey/Musicfire.in Lyrics

There's a place way down in Bed Stuy,
Referring to Bed Stuy in Brooklyn, there is a specific location where a boy lives behind bricks.

Where a boy lives behind bricks,
The boy in this location lives behind bricks and has a fondness for girls of eighteen, whom he manipulates for his own gain.

He's got an eye for girls of eighteen,
This boy has a preference for younger girls and takes advantage of them.

And he turns them out like tricks
He manipulates and uses them for his own personal gain, then abandons them like disposable objects.

I went down to a place in Bed Stuy
The artist goes to this place in Bed Stuy, perhaps out of curiosity or temptation.

A little liquor on my lips
The singer is under the influence of alcohol, suggesting a lack of inhibitions.

I let him climb inside my body
The singer engages in sexual activity with the boy.

And held him captive in my kiss
The artist feels as if she has some measure of control over the boy through the force of her kiss.

And there's a storm you're starting now
This line could refer to the emotional intensity of the situation, suggesting an oncoming storm or trouble.

And there's a storm you're starting now
This line could refer to the emotional intensity of the situation, suggesting an oncoming storm or trouble.

And there's a storm you're starting
Once again, this line could refer to the brewing of strong emotions.

I'm a wanderess
Describing herself as a wanderess, the artist is someone who wanders aimlessly.

I'm a one night stand
The singer is someone who engages in casual sexual liaisons.

Don't belong to no city
The singer doesn't feel a sense of belonging to any particular place.

Don't belong to no man
Similarly, the singer doesn't feel attached to any particular person.

I'm the violence in the pouring rain
The artist is a force of nature, described as the violence in the pouring rain, as if she represents chaos and unpredictability.

I'm a hurricane
This line is a more direct restatement of the previous one, emphasizing the chaotic and unpredictable nature of the artist.

I'm a hurricane
Once again, restating the power and unpredictability of the singer.

I went down to a place in Brooklyn
This time, the location is described more specifically as a place in Brooklyn, where drugs are being used.

Where you tripped on LSD
The artist recalls a time when she was in this place and witnessed someone else under the influence of LSD.

And I found myself reminded
Perhaps seeing someone else's altered state reminded the artist of the importance of not getting too involved with these kinds of situations.

To keep you far away from me
The artist realizes the importance of staying away from people and situations that could be dangerous.

And there's a storm you're starting now
Once again, the brewing of strong emotions is evoked.

And there's a storm you're starting now
This line again stresses the intensity of the situation.

And there's a storm you're starting
The final iteration of this line reaffirms the notion of brewing emotions or trouble.

He says, "Oh baby, beggin' you to save me
The boy in question is trying to manipulate the singer into rescuing him from something.

Well lately, I like 'em crazy
The boy admits that he prefers women who are a bit unstable or unpredictable.

Oh, maybe, you could devastate me
The boy suggests that being destroyed by the artist would be preferable to the current state of things.

Little lady, come and fade me"
The boy asks the artist to come and 'fade' him, suggesting a desire for collapse or surrender.

Come and fade me
This line is a repetition of the boy's previous request.

Come and fade me
Once again, the boy asks the singer to bring about his collapse or surrender.

I'm a hurricane
The artist restates her power and unpredictability, suggesting that she could indeed bring about the boy's collapse if she wanted to.
