Hurricane
Parachute Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm telling you I went dry
I couldn't do it anymore
Told myself that I was fine
It was something that I'd just ignore
That I'd feel a weight lift up
The moment that I followed through
But I guess I fooled myself
Cause I never really wanted to

Oh I knew
That even if I kept you in the dark
It would never do
Because it only takes a spark

I'm standing in the pouring rain
I feel it like a hurricane
A photograph is all it takes
But I know I shouldn't let it
And the memory is rising fast
It's seeping in through every crack
Oh funny how it all comes back
When you're trying to forget it

Here comes the hurricane
Here comes the hurricane

Oh when I cut you off
It was something that I had to do
You can try to push it down
But it's always going to follow you
And yeah if you close your eyes
It doesn't mean you fell asleep
Oh and I could keep you out
But you're never really gonna leave

Oh I knew
Even if I kept you in the dark
It would never do
Because it only takes a spark

I'm standing in the pouring rain
I feel it like a hurricane
A photograph is all it takes
But I know I shouldn't let it
And the memory is rising fast
It's seeping in through every crack
Oh funny how it all comes back
When you're trying to forget it

Here comes the hurricane
Here comes the hurricane

Everybody knows I didn't want it to end
Everybody knows I didn't want it to end

I'm standing in the pouring rain
I feel it like a hurricane
A photograph is all it takes
But I know I shouldn't let it
And the memory is rising fast
It's seeping in through every crack
Oh funny how it all comes back
When you're trying to forget it

(I feel it like a hurricane)




Here comes the hurricane
(I feel it like a hurricane)

Overall Meaning

In Parachute's song "Hurricane," the lyrics seem to touch upon feelings of regret, loss, and the overwhelming impact that memories can have on an individual. The song's narrator admits to shutting someone out of their life and going "dry" in an attempt to avoid confronting their feelings. However, even though the singer tried to push their emotions aside, they find themselves in the middle of a metaphorical hurricane as memories come rushing back.


Throughout the song, the singer repeats "I'm standing in the pouring rain, I feel it like a hurricane, a photograph is all it takes." This line seems to suggest that a trigger, such as a photograph or memory, can bring about a surge of emotions, much like an oncoming storm. Despite the pain of remembering, the singer recognizes that it's impossible to simply ignore emotions and continue living as if everything is fine.


As the song progresses, the singer realizes that cutting someone out of their life may have been a mistake, as they acknowledge that the person they shut out will never truly be gone. The lyrics "I could keep you out, but you're never really gonna leave" shows that even if someone is not physically present in our lives, memories can continue to have a powerful influence.


Overall, "Hurricane" is a poignant and relatable song that shows the importance of confronting our emotions instead of trying to ignore or suppress them.


Line by Line Meaning

I'm telling you I went dry
I'm admitting that I stopped trying


I couldn't do it anymore
I couldn't maintain the facade any longer


Told myself that I was fine
I tried to convince myself that everything was okay


It was something that I'd just ignore
I chose to overlook the issues at hand


That I'd feel a weight lift up
I hoped to feel a sense of relief


The moment that I followed through
Once I took action and made a change


But I guess I fooled myself
I deceived myself into thinking I wanted this


Cause I never really wanted to
I didn't truly desire this outcome


Oh I knew
I was aware


That even if I kept you in the dark
Not communicating with you wouldn't solve anything


It would never do
It wouldn't be effective


Because it only takes a spark
A small input can cause a big impact


I'm standing in the pouring rain
I'm caught in the midst of an uncomfortable situation


I feel it like a hurricane
I'm experiencing intense emotions like a storm


A photograph is all it takes
A visual reminder is sufficient to trigger memories


But I know I shouldn't let it
I'm trying to prevent myself from getting too emotional


And the memory is rising fast
The recollections are coming back quickly


It's seeping in through every crack
The nostalgia is creeping into every thought


Oh funny how it all comes back
It's ironic how memories resurface when you least expect it


When you're trying to forget it
When you're trying to move on from it


Here comes the hurricane
Here comes another wave of emotions


Oh when I cut you off
When I removed myself from your life


It was something that I had to do
It was necessary for my own well-being


You can try to push it down
You can try to suppress your feelings


But it's always going to follow you
But the memories will always linger around


And yeah if you close your eyes
And even when you're not thinking about it


It doesn't mean you fell asleep
It doesn't mean you forgot about it


Oh and I could keep you out
I could choose to block you out of my life


But you're never really gonna leave
But you'll always be in my thoughts


Everybody knows I didn't want it to end
Everyone is aware that I didn't intend for it to conclude


I'm standing in the pouring rain
I'm still in a difficult situation


I feel it like a hurricane
The intense emotions are still present


Here comes the hurricane
Here come those feelings again

"The memory is rising fast, it's seeping in through every crack. Oh funny how it all come back when you're trying to forget it." One of my favorite song lyrics ever. Will is such a beautiful lyricist...

@annam8635

I think the most notable line in the song is something always overlooked,

"Somebody tell me, tell me, what I'm feeling."
