Storm
In-Sync Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Won't hold back, I'll face this world head on
Took a nice long look inside, to find where I went wrong
(To find where I went wrong)
To find where I went wrong
(To find where I went wrong)
To find where I went wrong




Overall Meaning

The song "Storm" by In-Sync seems to be about a relationship that has gone awry. The singer seems to be desperately pining for his lost love, reminiscing about their time together, but also acknowledging that it is over. The song is filled with imagery of being lost or stuck in a storm, unable to find one's way. The first verse seems to set the scene for the rest of the song, with the singer thinking about his girl all the time and seeing her shape dancing around, as if she is haunting him. He also talks about keeping the taste of the summer time, which could represent a happy memory or a time when things were good between them.


The second verse is where the storm imagery really comes in, with references to a distant tent, chopping down trees to build a house, and finding small fruits. These things could all be seen as symbols of something lost or unfulfilled. The singer's girl says she wants to wake up in a cloud and sleep on the ground, which could represent a desire for something dreamlike or unattainable. The final lines of the verse suggest that this could have been a fairy tale, but it didn't end well.


The chorus is where the singer expresses his grief at losing his girl, pleading to see her home and acknowledging that she has become a stranger to him. He doesn't understand how his love could have grown dry, and they lost their way into the storm. The chorus repeats several times, emphasizing the sense of loss and desperation.

“There are only 4 instruments in the track - all Roland. 2 SH-101s, 1 TR-808 and 1 TR-909. There was no hardware sequencer either - everything was synched using the drum machine triggers. The notes were recorded on the SH-101 onboard sequencers, so the tune was very limited. Also, one of the SH-101s was not working properly. I could not record the same note twice in the sequencer for some reason. You can't really set up a more basic studio than I used for that track. The track was a production nightmare in reality. I am surprised it ever made it to vinyl. There is tape noise on the recording where the cassette deck level was way to low. But....it does sound like rain. It all went wrong but ended up right it seems" 
– Lee Purkis aka In Sync.

At school with Lee. End of term music class we could bring in discs to play, most brought in Wham, Duran Duran... Lee Purkis brought Planet Rock. We'd heard Kraftwerk, but none of us had heard Afrika Bambata: it was life changing... then he wrote this. Matthew Cogger also deserves recognition.

Eoghan Mulligan

I agree

Anthony Hernandez

Planet Rock is my favorite song of all time.

Dean Rush

Yes indeed ❤
