Hurricane
MS MR (CHVRCHES remix) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I knew I didn't see
What you thought you saw in me
I jumped the gun
So sure you'd split and run
Ready for the worst
Before the damage was done
The storm never came
Or it never was
Didn't know getting lost in the blue
It meant I wound up losing you
Welcome to the inner workings of my mind
So dark and foul I can't disguise
Can't disguise
Nights like this
I become afraid
Of the darkness in my heart
Hurricane
Oh ho oh ho
What's wrong with me
Why not understand and see
I never saw
What you saw in me
Keep my eyes open
My lips sealed
My heart closed
And my ears peeled
Welcome to the inner workings of my mind
So dark and foul I can't disguise
Can't disguise
Nights like this
I become afraid
Of the darkness in my heart
Hurricane
Make ash and leave the dust behind
Lady Diamond in the sky
Wild light
Glowing bright
To guide me when I fall
I fall on tragedy
Welcome to the inner workings of my mind
So dark and foul I can't disguise
Can't disguise
Nights like this
I become afraid
Of the darkness in my heart
Hurricane
In “Hurricane”, MS MR reflects on a past relationship they were unsure about from the beginning. The singer of the song describes feeling lost and disconnected from what their partner saw in them, causing them to jump to conclusions and prepare for the worst. However, their fears were unfounded, and ultimately the “storm never came”. Instead, the singer finds themselves struggling with the darkness within them, trying to understand why they couldn’t see what their partner did. In the end, the singer begs for a guiding light to help them through their struggles.

This song has been stuck in my head for over a year now.
Fantastic.
@strangewayfaringstranger
This album has been in my head for years now, it never really leaves you.
@dissolvingreality2479
I remember when this came out and how much it felt like I was literally soul connected to it like a soul contract ... I just know how much this speaks to my core . Listening to it again in 2022 and I still feel that feeling I felt when I first started playing / connecting to it in 2011..... Great great band but underated sadly ...youre doing gods work with this stuff as it has that ability to heal you but also a feeling of nostalgia / yearning for something missing 💔⚡💔
@michellehamer5965
“Soul connected to it like a soul contract” yes!!! For me it’s not even the lyrics it’s the way each section “feels”. It rides across my chest and lingers long after. I’m not even going to bother articulating how it makes me fee, there just aren’t any ti accurately describe. So if this moves you, then you get me & I get you✨

Same same same. Felt complete connection with it..

Poetic post! Praying God heals you! Sin as you need to and lessen your underworld activity. Faith of that of a mustard seed, and you'd be surprised! -Michael

when I turn off the lights, lay back, and listen to this song, it's about as close to a spiritual experience as I can get
