Hurricane
Panic!; At The Disco Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Are you worth your weight in gold,
'Cause you're behind my eyelids when I'm all alone
Hey Stranger, I want ya to catch me like a cold,
You and God both got the guns
When you shoot I think I'd duck

I lead the revolution in my bedroom
And I said all the zippers creak

We said no more war, no more clothes beneath these
Oh kiss me

Hey, Hey
We are a hurricane
Drop our anchors in a storm
Hey
They will never be the same
They're fighting with us to keep us warm
'Cause they know, I know, that they don't look like me
Oh, they know, I know, that they don't sound like me
You'll dance to anything
You'll dance to anything

Oh I confess, I confess to the rumor of us
But you didn't come and speak to me or put my heart at ease
And I believe that half the time, I am a wolf among the sheep
Now I got the wool over my eyes

I lead the revolution in my bedroom
And I set all the zippers free,
We said no more war
No more clothes beneath these
Oh kiss me

Hey, Hey
We are a hurricane
Drop our anchors in a storm
Hey
They will never be the same
They're fighting with us to keep us warm
'Cause they know, I know, that they don't look like me
Oh, they know, I know, that they don't sound like me
You'll dance to anything
You'll dance to anything
You'll dance to anything
You'll dance to anything

Fix me, oh conflict me
I'll take anything
Fix me, oh just conflict me 'cause I'll take anything

Hey, Hey
We are a hurricane
Drop our anchors in a storm
Hey
They will never be the same
They're fighting with us to keep us warm
'Cause they know, I know, that they don't look like me
Oh, they know, I know, that they don't sound like me

You'll dance to anything
You'll dance to anything

We are a force to be reckoned with

Drop our anchors in a storm
We will stand our ground despite adversity

They will never be the same
Our actions will cause change

They're fighting with us to keep us warm
Others support us in our fight

'Cause they know, I know, that they don't look like me
We may look different but we share the same ideals

Oh, they know, I know, that they don't sound like me
