Hurricane
Leona Naess Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well I don't know what to do with my head
And all the things that live inside
Well I don't know what to believe
My god she's got aces up her sleeve

He's gone away like I knew he would
He's gone away like I knew he should

So bring back my hurricane
Tell him I am fine again
Cause we landed in another plan
And I don't know if I'll
Ever be the same

Well the world was round before I found you
The oceans a changing blue
I was always going somewhere
But I never believed it would be from you

He's gone away...

So bring back my hurricane
Tell him I am fine again
Cause we landed in another plan

And I don't know if I'll
Ever be the same

Overall Meaning

In Leona Naess's song Hurricane, the singer appears to be grappling with feelings of confusion, loss and uncertainty. Throughout the song, she repeatedly states that she doesn't know what to do with her head or what to believe. The reference to a "hurricane" seems to suggest that she is experiencing an emotional storm, with feelings like strong winds and turbulent waves. The lyrics suggest that the storm may have been caused by the departure of a significant other, whom the singer repeatedly references as "he".

The verse "Well the world was round before I found you, the oceans a changing blue/I was always going somewhere, but I never believed it would be from you" highlights the singer's sense of change, and the idea that her life before this breakup was somewhat stable and predictable. However, this relationship has introduced a new kind of chaos and upheaval, as symbolized by the hurricane.

The chorus, "bring back my hurricane/tell him I am fine again/cause we landed in another plan/ and I don't know if I'll ever be the same" perhaps suggests a desire to rekindle the relationship, but also a realization that even if this happens, things will never quite be the same again. Ultimately, Hurricane conveys a sense of emotional turmoil and uncertainty that will be relatable for many listeners.

Line by Line Meaning

Well I don't know what to do with my head
I'm uncertain about what I should think or do

And all the things that live inside
All of my thoughts and feelings

Well I don't know what to believe
I'm confused about what I should trust

My god she's got aces up her sleeve
The universe has surprises that I can't predict

He's gone away like I knew he would
The person I cared about has left, as I expected

He's gone away like I knew he should
I knew it was right for him to leave

So bring back my hurricane
I want the chaos and passion of my past back

Tell him I am fine again
Let my past know that I'm okay now

Cause we landed in another plan
Life has taken an unexpected turn

And I don't know if I'll
I'm uncertain about whether

Ever be the same
I'll return to the way I was before
