Noise
Linda Ronald Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel the storm pick up speed and I'm upside down
Try to click my heels but I can't find a way out
Why do I never seem to learn?
Knocked right off my feet each time the hurricane comes
Swallows up the light, blots out the sun
In the spinning and the doubt
I take another hit as the darkness turns
Waiting for the world I knew to return
I've been here before
Spinning in the wind as the darkness roars
I know this place
Seen clouds gleam gold where the sky is torn
I heard your voice
Whisper through the noise
And it brought me to the quiet
In the eye of the storm
Thunder may roll
Violent and cold
I hear you speak
And the stillness comes
Why do I do this to myself?
I feel the storm pick up speed and I'm upside down
Try to click my heels but I can't find a way out
In the spinning and the doubt
The screaming of the wind drowns everything out
I take another hit as the darkness turns
Waiting for the world I knew to return
I've been here before
Spinning in the wind as the darkness roars
I know this place
Seen clouds gleam gold where the sky is torn
I heard your voice
Whisper through the noise
And it brought me to the quiet
In the eye of the storm
Thunder may roll
Violent and cold
I hear you speak
And the stillness comes
I've been here before
Spinning in the wind as the darkness roars
I know this place
Seen clouds gleam gold where the sky is torn
