Tempest
Jason Chen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There are no sounds that I can hear.
There are no forms for me to touch.
There are no colours that I can see.
The only sound is distant thunder.
A tempest rages so far away from me.
I walked for miles and started running
Towards the sound and storm, where you might find me.
I ran until I had the feeling
That the tempest I had heard surrounded me.
And here my heart, so filled with loving
Cried out and told the wonder that you are.
I tell myself, I keep repeating
That your ways are bringing you to me.
And I tell myself, though nothing changes,
That your ways are bringing you to me.
And I tell myself, through tears of anguish
That your ways are bringing you to me,
That I will find my true salvation,
That these ways of mine are bringing you to me.
Here lies my heart so filled with loving
Crying out the wonders that I've felt.
Here I will find my true salvation
That my ways are bringing you to me.
And I tell myself, I keep repeating
That these ways of mine are bringing you to me.
The lyrics of Jason Chen's song Tempest describe a sense of longing and desperation to be with someone who seems out of reach. The singer expresses that their emotions are strong, but they cannot find any physical way to express them, as there are no sounds, forms, or colors that they can sense. They convey their intense yearning to be with this person through the metaphor of a tempest or storm raging in the distance, which they run towards in hopes of finding the object of their affection.
As they run, the singer's heart continues to fill with love until they feel fully surrounded by the metaphorical tempest. They continue to tell themselves that their love will bring this person closer to them, despite feeling as though they have no control over their situation. They persuade themselves that their actions will eventually lead them to their true salvation and the person they want to be with. The song ends with the singer repeating once more that their ways will eventually bring this person to them and they will find their salvation through love.

Happy New Year everybody!
A fun song I wrote about the internal conflict going on in my head whenever I have to decide between eating carb-olicious food and trying to get lean...hope this is relatable to some of you =P
Big thanks to Blogilates, KaliMuscle, and Ninja Warriors for being a part of this project! Everyone has different goals on how to eat, and how to look. But the most important thing is to lead a balanced life and be healthy!
