Hurricane
Mr. & Ms. 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
The song "Hurricane" by Mr. & Ms. explores the inner struggles and insecurities of the singer. The lyrics convey a sense of self-doubt and fear, as the singer reflects on a relationship that ended unexpectedly. The opening lines suggest that the singer didn't have high hopes for the relationship, assuming that they would eventually be abandoned by their partner. However, the storm or turmoil they anticipated never arrived, leaving them confused about what went wrong. They realize too late that they had unintentionally pushed their partner away, losing them in the process. The phrase "getting lost in the blue" implies that the singer failed to understand their partner's emotions and needs, leading to the breakup.
Throughout the song, the singer delves into their own psyche, describing it as dark and foul and unable to be concealed. They admit feeling afraid when confronted by the darkness within their own heart, symbolized by the hurricane metaphor. The lyrics also suggest that the singer struggles with communication, as they keep their eyes open, lips sealed, heart closed, and ears peeled. This implies a fear of vulnerability and an inability to express their true feelings, further contributing to the breakdown of the relationship.
The chorus of the song serves as a plea for understanding and acceptance. The singer invites the listener into the inner workings of their mind, inviting them to witness the inner turmoil they experience. The repetition of the line "Nights like this I become afraid of the darkness in my heart, Hurricane" emphasizes the recurring sense of fear and self-doubt that the singer grapples with.
Overall, "Hurricane" delves into the complexities of relationships, the struggle with one's own insecurities, and the consequences of failing to communicate and understand one another.

To provide guidance during difficult times
I fall on tragedy

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✨
@tirtunemdouq
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
