Hurricane
Riley Biederer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Here comes the hurricane
Here comes the hurricane
In "Hurricane" by Riley Biederer, the lyrics explore the aftermath of a failed relationship. The singer is admitting that they tried to move on from their partner, but ultimately couldn't ignore their feelings. They confess that they went "dry" and couldn't keep up the facade of being okay without their partner. They thought they would feel relief once they let go, but instead find themselves haunted by memories of the past. Even though they cut their partner off, they can't escape the emotions that come with the end of a relationship.
The repetition of the phrase "Here comes the hurricane" emphasizes the overwhelming nature of these emotions. The singer feels like they are standing in a storm that they can't escape from. The metaphor of the "hurricane" represents the intensity of these feelings and how they come crashing back when you least expect it. The line "it only takes a spark" further illustrates how quickly emotions can be reignited, no matter how much effort has been put into moving on.
Overall, the lyrics of "Hurricane" convey the difficulty of moving on from a relationship and the intense emotions that can come with it. The theme of past memories and the difficulties of letting go is something that many listeners can relate to in their own lives.
