Hurricane
Moretta Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We are the hurricane!

Have we become true pacifists
Scared to overreact
No longer standing for what we once believed in
They want us to seek happiness
Through glowing panes of glass
It's the only way to get your attention
Try hard to recall your reasons for wanting to breathe

When will we wake up
They're not letting up
And only growing more controlling with each second we wait
They won't stop now
Forcing a meltdown
But we're the hurricane they only claim was never threat
We won't be turned away
We will swallow the pain
(Hey, Hey) We are the hurricane

Why do we let them fabricate
Who we love and hate
We won't get upset unless they allow us to
Stop being machines
Start being human
Rediscover what makes you feel alive

We are chaining ourselves to the ground
Attempting to dampen the sound
Overwhelming is exactly what they're aiming for
To discourage us from getting involved
Knowing they're outnumbered

Voice your opinion
Declare this your concern




Dig deep igniting passion
Then let that motherfucker burn

I only remembered the lyrics of this when I heard it a few years ago, and my search was worth it, but I'm suprised to find that this video has only so few views and likes. This is really one of those hidden gems or masterpieces. Strong lyrics, vocals and awesome rock. πŸ’―πŸŒͺ️ πŸ§‘β€πŸŽ€
