Typhoons
Royal Blood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Switch me off, put me under
'Til I'm sky high, give me vertigo (somebody)
Let me know when it's over
'Cause all these chemicals
Dancing through my veins
They don't kill the cause
I need waking up
I should face the truth
I could calm the storm
If I wanted to
(Typhoon)
My thoughts becoming parasites
(Typhoon)
That live to keep me terrified
(Typhoon)
I tell myself I'll be alright
Typhoons keep on raging
And I don't know why
(Typhoon)
Flashbacks, I'm not letting go
Tear me up, cast a shadow
I got game face but it's all for show
Can't give it up, blow my cover
'Cause all these chemicals
Dancing through my veins
They don't kill the cause
They just numb the pain
I need waking up
I should face the truth
I could calm the storm
If I wanted to
(Typhoon)
My thoughts becoming parasites
(Typhoon)
That live to keep me terrified
(Typhoon)
I tell myself I'll be alright
Typhoons keep on raging
And I don't know why
(Typhoon)
Dark memories like lightning strike
(Typhoon)
Shake and sway me through the night
(Typhoon)
Raging on behind my eyes
I'm doomed and I'm waiting
For light in my sky
Typhoons keep on raging
And I don't know why
(Typhoon)

My thoughts becoming parasites

I tell myself I'll be alright
Typhoons keep on raging

Shake and sway me through the night

Raging on behind my eyes

The lyrics of Royal Blood's song Typhoons describe a struggle with internal demons that continue to rage on, causing instability and confusion. The first verse shows a desire to escape reality and numb the pain, urging someone to "rip the plug out the radio" and "switch me off." The repeated use of the word "typhoons" throughout the song reinforces the idea of a raging, unstoppable storm brewing internally. The chorus reveals that the singer's thoughts have become parasites, feeding on his fears and keeping him terrified, while he struggles to convince himself that he will be alright. The second verse shows an attempt to put on a "game face" and cover up the turmoil inside, but "dark memories" continue to shake him through the night. The song's overall message seems to be a call to face one's inner demons rather than trying to escape them, even though the process may be painful.
Line by Line Meaning
Rip the plug out the radio
Turn off all external noise and distractions
Switch me off, put me under
Retreat into a mental state of avoidance
'Til I'm sky high, give me vertigo (somebody)
Seeking an escape from reality through a high or rush
Let me know when it's over
A desire for someone else to signal the end of a situation
'Cause all these chemicals
Refers to the use of drugs as a coping mechanism
Dancing through my veins
The effect drugs have on the user's body
They don't kill the cause
Drugs temporarily mask the problem, but don't solve the root issue
They just numb the pain
Drugs allow the user to escape the pain of their problems
I need waking up
A desire to face reality head-on
I should face the truth
Recognizing that the root problem must be dealt with
I could calm the storm
Believing that the user has the power to make things better
If I wanted to
Acknowledging that it's up to the user to take action
My thoughts becoming parasites
Negative thoughts taking over and feeding on the user's mental state
That live to keep me terrified
Negative thoughts continually causing anxiety and fear
I tell myself I'll be alright
Trying to convince oneself that everything will be okay
Typhoons keep on raging
The negative and turbulent emotions continue to persist
And I don't know why
Feeling lost and confused about the root of the problem
Flashbacks, I'm not letting go
Continually reliving past traumas and experiences
Tear me up, cast a shadow
The past experiences leaving a lasting negative impact
I got game face but it's all for show
Putting on a brave face to hide the true inner turmoil
Can't give it up, blow my cover
Unable to stop perpetuating the facade
Dark memories like lightning strike
Memories of past traumas hitting hard and suddenly
Shake and sway me through the night
The emotional impact of the memories affecting the user's physical state
Raging on behind my eyes
The emotional turmoil and turmoil in the user's mind
I'm doomed and I'm waiting
Feeling helpless and waiting for a solution
For light in my sky
A desire for hope and positivity

My favorite Royal Blood memory is taking mom to a QOTSA show where Royal Blood was opening. I told mom she should probably listen to them because they were awesome and she said she wanted it to be a surprise.
30 seconds into the beginning of their set and she turns around and looks at me and nods emphatically like "YES!!!!"

I saw them play together in Boston, and you can tell most of the people were there for QOTSA. But the entire crowd had looks of awe on their faces when Royal Blood was done with their set.
