Hurricane
Stephen Ridley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh Heidi I’m sorry
But I wish we never met at all
My heart’s all empty, and I can’t find my soul
You know I hate myself
But I love myself too much for this
I just wish I never touched you
So cheat and mislead
Do whatever you please
So cheat and mislead, yes
Do whatever you please
Just know
I’m going to let you go
Oh Heidi I’m horny
But you’re never going to feel my touch
You tortured and teased
Too much, too much, too much, too much
You know I love you
But I love myself too much for this
I just wish I never touched you
I wish I never tasted your lips
Yeah get with my friends
Just to show me you can
Yeah get with my friends, yes
Just to show me you can
And I will stand
And I will let you go
The lyrics of Hurricane by Stephen Ridley are filled with raw emotions of love and heartbreak. The chorus of the song, "I'm going to let you go" serves as the central message of the song. The verses depict the internal turmoil and pain experienced by the singer after ending a toxic relationship. The song is directed towards a woman named Heidi who he deeply regrets meeting. The singer expresses his self-hatred for the situation in which he had fallen and his desire to move on.
The line "My heart's all empty, and I can't find my soul" suggests that the relationship had drained him emotionally and made him feel lost. The next line, "You know I hate myself, but I love myself too much for this" describes the conflicting emotions the singer had for himself and the situation. He hates himself for getting into the relationship but at the same time, he loves himself enough to know that he needs to let go and move on. The singer is asking Heidi to cheat and mislead him if that is what she wants but ultimately he knows he has to let her go. The lines "Yeah, get with my friends just to show me you can..." is an ultimatum for Heidi to move on since the singer is already moving on as well.
Overall, Hurricane speaks to the universal experience of heartbreak and moving on. The song portrays the complex emotions and the pain that comes with the end of a toxic and unhealthy relationship, but emphasizes the importance of self-love and acceptance.
