Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Not an ounce of gas, I would get up there
The answer's simple
You lift me up
The view up here, I see all the stars
There go Venus, and there go Mars
Somethin' you been through
You're from above
Hey, when I first saw you, I got excited
Tried to keep my composure, tryna hide it
But I didn't know
I didn't let go
Then it occurred to me while tryna fight it
Just like a kite, you learn to ride it
But I didn't know
You're s'posed to let it go
Like a gust of wind
You hit me off sometimes
Like a gust of wind
You push me back every once in a while
Like a gust of wind
You remind me there's someone up there
Who whooshes in
The air I need to power myself
When I open the window
I wanna hug you
'Cause you remind me of the air
I said yeah
'Cause when I'm feelin' real low
I remember I love you
I put my hands in the air
And you were there
With your love, I can board the skies
Finding a way that electrifies, mother's your other
Cannot stow away
Telephone winds of the northern sky
Is the closest thing, and here is why
'Cause we're color
You blow me away
I need you, like I'm breathing
Music umbrellas can make one cover
Who cares if they don't see you?
Don't you know that they're the same?
I need it like I'm breathing
If you never discover, forever you'll suffer
Who cares if they don't see you?
You got until then to learn the way
Like a gust of wind
You hit me off sometimes
Like a gust of wind
You push me back every once in a while
Like a gust of wind
You remind me there's someone up there
Who whooshes in
The air I need to power myself
When I open the window
I wanna hug you
'Cause you remind me of the air
I said yeah
'Cause when I'm feelin' real low
I remember I love you
I put my hands in the air
And you were there
When I first saw you, I got excited
Tried to keep my composure, tryna hide it
But I didn't know
I didn't let go
Then I realized I'm tryna fight it
Just so they can learn to ride it
But I didn't know
I had to let it go
The lyrics of Pharrell's song Gust of Wind are a tribute to the power of love and the importance of surrendering yourself to its force. The singer begins by expressing how his heart is filled with love and care, and that he feels uplifted by his love interest. He then compares this feeling to being up high and seeing all the stars, while also acknowledging that his love interest is someone from above, hinting at a divine presence. The chorus of the song likens the feeling of being in love to a gust of wind – something that can hit you off sometimes, push you back every once in a while, but ultimately a force that powers and uplifts you. The singer acknowledges that when he is feeling low, he remembers his love interest, and puts his hands in the air in a gesture of surrender to the power of love.
The verses of the song also contain references to the power of music, which Pharrell has spoken about previously in interviews. He talks about music as something that can electrify, and says that he needs it like he's breathing. The lines "music umbrellas can make one cover" and "telephone winds of the northern sky is the closest thing, and here is why" are both examples of wordplay that link music and wind, and suggest that music has the power to transport us to another realm, just like the wind. The song also continues Pharrell's recurring themes of determination and perseverance, as he talks about learning to ride the kite of love, and letting go in order to move forward.
