Storm Warning
I Am Kloot Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hell for leather, lathered, drunk, you're soused,
You're pissed, you're sunk,
The juke box now is drunk, just along the way.....
I had a call on Saturday to say I'd thrown
My friends away, reversed the charges on 'em all,
I made a lot of calls.

Is there a storm coming or are we just another shower,
Is this a storm warning,
Has someone just cut the power,
Is there a storm coming or are we just another shower,
Is there a storm coming, coming, coming.

I would have kept you free from harm rang the bells or
Raised alarms,
I would have kept them all at bay,
Except I thought I heard you say,
You're the leper boy you can't come in,
The moneky god is now you're king, you're out,
You're in, you're out,
You're in, you're out,

Is there a storm coming or are we just another shower,
Is this a storm warning,




Has someone just cut the power,
Is there a storm coming or are we just another shower,

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of "Storm Warning" describe someone who is completely drunk and lost in their own world. The jukebox they're listening to is even drunk, showing just how disoriented and discombobulated this person is. The singer, on the other hand, has received a call warning them that they've pushed away their friends by reversing the charges on numerous phone calls. This line implies that the singer is reaching out for help, possibly feeling lonely or isolated.


The chorus repeatedly asks whether there is a storm coming or if it's just a passing shower. This could be a metaphor for a potentially tumultuous situation that the singer is facing, or it could be a literal storm that they're worried about. The uncertainty of the situation is causing anxiety and tension, as evidenced by the repeated questioning.


The final verse adds another layer to the song, with the singer expressing regret over not being able to help someone they cared about. The reference to the "leper boy" and the "monkey god" suggests that the person may have been an outcast, unable to fit in with society. The singer wishes they had been able to protect this person, but ultimately their own insecurities may have held them back.


Overall, "Storm Warning" is a song that deals with uncertainty and anxiety, both internal and external. The singer is struggling with their own frailties while also facing a potentially tumultuous situation on the horizon.

Hell for leather, lathered, drunk
You're soused, you're pissed, you're sunk
The jukebox now is drunk
Just along the way
I had a call last Saturday
To say I'd thrown my friends away
Reversed the charges on them all
I made a lot of calls

[Chorus]
Is there a storm coming
Or are we just another shower?
Is there a storm warning?
Has someone just cut the power?
Is there a storm coming
Or are we just another shower?
Is this a storm coming, coming, coming...

[Verse 2]
I would have kept you free from harm
Rang the bells or raised alarms
I would have kept them all at bay
Except I thought I heard you say:
You're the leper boy, you can't come in
The monkey god is now your king
You're out, you're in, you're out, you're in
You're out, you're in, you're out

Hell for leather, lathered, drunk, you're soused,
You're pissed, you're sunk,
The juke box now is drunk, just along the way.....
I had a call on Saturday to say I'd thrown
My friends away, reversed the charges on 'em all,
I made a lot of calls.

Is there a storm coming or are we just another shower,
Is this a storm warning,
Has someone just cut the power,
Is there a storm coming or are we just another shower,
Is there a storm coming, coming, coming.

I would have kept you free from harm rang the bells or
Raised alarms,
I would have kept them all at bay,
Except I thought I heard you say,
You're the leper boy you can't come in,
The moneky god is now you're king, you're out,
You're in, you're out,
You're in, you're out,

Is there a storm coming or are we just another shower,
Is this a storm warning,
Has someone just cut the power,
Is there a storm coming or are we just another shower,
