Hurricane
Mr & Mrs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Didn't know what this would be
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
Oh ho oh ho oh ho oh

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

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of the song suggest an uncertainty around a relationship that has left the singer confused about the other person's intentions. The singer acknowledges that they may have misjudged the situation, assuming that they would be rejected before any damage was done. However, it seems that there was no rejection or damage, as the 'storm' never came or never actually existed. The chorus reveals that the loss of the relationship has left the singer introspective and fearful of the 'darkness in my heart', which is referred to as a 'hurricane'. The repeated refrain of 'oh ho' is reminiscent of storm winds, which reinforces the idea of a tumultuous inner emotional state.


The middle section of the song offers a glimpse into the singer's mind, portraying it as 'dark and foul' and revealing a fear of falling into tragedy. The lyric 'make ash and leave the dust behind' suggests a desire to shed the emotional baggage and start anew. The chorus is repeated, with a new verse added, which mentions a 'Lady Diamond in the sky' that shines bright, providing guidance during dark times of tragedy.


Overall, the lyrics to "Hurricane" touch on themes of self-doubt, introspection, and the fear of loss. The imagery of a storm and hurricane symbolically represents the singer's turbulent emotional state, while the Lady Diamond acts as a beacon of light and hope.


Line by Line Meaning

Didn't know what this would be
I was uncertain about the nature of our relationship


But I knew I didn't see
I was aware that I didn't fully comprehend your perspective


What you thought you saw in me
I was unsure about your vision of me


I jumped the gun
I acted hastily


So sure you'd split and run
I was convinced that you would abandon me


Ready for the worst
I prepared myself for the worst-case scenario


Before the damage was done
Before any harm was caused


The storm never came
The expected crisis didn't happen


Or it never was
Or maybe it never existed in the first place


Didn't know getting lost in the blue
I didn't realize that being melancholic was pushing you away


It meant I wound up losing you
That was the reason why you decided to leave me


Welcome to the inner workings of my mind
Welcome to my chaotic thoughts and feelings


So dark and foul I can't disguise
So intense and negative that I can't hide them


Can't disguise
I can't pretend anymore


Nights like this
When I feel low like tonight


I become afraid
I start feeling scared


Of the darkness in my heart
Of the pain and negativity inside me


Hurricane
A metaphor for the emotional turmoil in my life


What's wrong with me
What's inherently broken inside of me?


Why not understand and see
Why can't I grasp your perspective?


I never saw
I never comprehended


What you saw in me
What you admired in me


Keep my eyes open
Stay vigilant


My lips sealed
Don't share my emotions


My heart closed
Emotionally detached


And my ears peeled
But listen attentively to you


Make ash and leave the dust behind
Move on from the past and start fresh


Lady Diamond in the sky
A metaphor for hope and positivity that guides me


Wild light
A bright and intense illumination


Glowing bright
Radiating with intensity


To guide me when I fall
To help me when I'm struggling


I fall on tragedy
I tend to face misfortunes


Hurricane
My emotional turmoil that I can't seem to escape

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✨

@tirtunemdouq

Same same same. Felt complete connection with it..

@slightlyaboveaverage2235

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

@BigTunaTim76

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
