Hurricane
Jared Leto feat. Kanye West Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

See this in 3D, all lights out for me
All lights out for me, lightning strikes the beach
Eighty degrees, warm it up for me
Finally free, found the God in me
And I want you to see, I can walk on water
Thousand miles from shore, I can float on the water
Father, hold me close, don't let me drown
I know you won't

Yeah, walkin' on the bridge, I threw my sins over the deep end
Sippin' 'til my stomach hurt, this month I done lost three friends
Early mornin', brainstormin', normally I can't sleep in
Sometimes I just wanna restart it, but it all depends
If I'ma be that same young, hungry n- from West End
Wrote my hardest wrongs and the crazy part, I ain't have no pen
Maybach interior came with sheepskin
Still remember when I just had three bands
Now I'm the one everyone call on 'cause I got deep pants
Bro told me to wait to beat the game, it's all in defense
And never fazed by names that they might call me, but they gon' respect it
And I feel like you better off tryna call, I might not get the message
And she just tried to run off with my heart, but I blocked off the exit, yeah

Oh-oh, I know You won't, I know You won't
I know You won't (oh, yeah)
I know You won't
I know that You look over us
So we silently sleep
Bring down the rain, yeah, oh

Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm, I was out for self
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm, I was up for sale
But I couldn't tell
God made it rain, the devil made it hail
Dropped out of school, but I'm that one at Yale
Made the best tracks and still went off the rail
Had to go down, down, down, this the new town, town, town
This the new ten, ten, ten, I'm goin' in, in, in
Here I go on a new trip, here I go actin' too lit
Here I go actin' too rich, here I go with a new chick
And I know what the truth is, still playin' after two kids
It's a lot to digest when your life always movin'
Architectural Digest, but I needed home improvement
Sixty-million-dollar home, never went home to it
Genius gone clueless, it's a whole lot to risk
Alcohol Anonymous, who's the busiest loser?
Heated by the rumors, read into it too much
Fiendin' for some true love, ask Kim, "What do you love?"
Hard to find what the truth is, but the truth was that the truth suck
Always seem to do stuff, but this time it was too much
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm, everybody so judgmental
Everybody so judgmental
Everybody hurts, but I don't judge rentals
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm, it was all so simple

I see you in 3D, the dawn is bright for me
No more dark for me, I know You're watchin' me
Eighty degrees, burnin' up the leaves
Finally, I'm free, finally, I'm free
As I go out to sea, I can walk on water
Won't you shine Your light? Demons stuck on my shoulder




Father, hold me close, don't let me drown
I know You won't

[Kanye:]
You say you're wrong, you're wrong, I'm right, I'm right, you're wrong, we fight
Okay, I'm running from the light, running from the day to night, oh
The quiet silence defines our misery
The riot inside keeps trying to visit me
No matter how we try, it's too much history
Too many bad notes playing in our symphony
So, let it breathe, let it fly, let it go
Let it fall, let it crash, burn slow
And then you call upon God
Oh, you call upon God

Can you see the flame?
It keeps getting higher
Like a forest fire
Burning everything that's in its path
Can you feel the heat?
It keeps getting stronger
Black thick smoke rising
And filling the sky with ash

Bring it to a halt
Don't feed the flame
Open up the sky
And let it rain
Calm calm calm this great fire
That burns in my veins
And makes my blood boil

So turn off the bomb
Before it blows
Don't let the fuse run
It will explode
Don't play don't play with fire
It'll be warm at first
But you'll die in the end

Open your pores
And let out steam
Open your nose
And let air in
Open your mouth
And breathe deeply
Open your lungs

Open up your mind
Get rid of these thoughts now
Before you go up in flames
Consumed by this neverending thirst
Open up your heart
Get rid of these feelings
Before you succumb and fall
Headfirst into the flames

This is one of those songs I simply cannot get enough of... Been almost 3 years now

@BRIG11

Same!! Even though Kanye sucks now,. sadly but this song is fire💯

@amarawinchester963

I miss these type of songs, dark melody and strong lyrics. These days 30STM sounds like a happy teen band

@jessmorri7194

They’re definitely creating what sounds like AI generated pop music these days. I wasn’t a a fan of TIW when it came out (though I do like a bunch of the songs, including this one) because I was more of a fan of the S/T, but looking back this was the good era compared to now.
