After The Hurricane
Sullivan Jazmine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And he's been avoiding me all day
It seems as though he wants to cry, (Oh, I)
And he's been acting really strange
He starts talkin' and I tuned him out
It doesn't matter anyway
Because I knew as soon as I saw clouds, yea
I knew what he was gonna say
Cause when the tears start flowin' and the wind starts blowin'
That's how you know its comin' for you
When the rain start fallin' and you feel the pain comin'
That's how you know its comin' for you
Just like a hurricane, just like a hurricane
The way you break everything that comes in your way
Just like a hurricane, Just like a hurricane
The way you broke my heart and now I?m left with the pain
After the hurricane
Baby I'm not surprised, Oh I
You said just what I thought you would
And it hurts I ain't goin' lie oh I
But it doesn't hurt as bad as it could
Cause when the tears start flowin' and the wind starts blowin'
That's how you know its comin' for you
When the rain start fallin' and you feel the pain comin'
That's how you know its comin' for you (hey baby)
Just like a hurricane, just like a hurricane
The way you break everything that comes in your way
Just like a hurricane, Just like a hurricane
The way you broke my heart and now I?m left with the pain
After the hurricane
Now my life is shattered , and I'm left to pick up the pieces
And find a new beginning and put it back together again
After the hurricane, the hurricane
Just like a hurricane, just like a hurricane
The way you break everything that comes in your way
Just like a hurricane, Just like a hurricane
The way you broke my heart and now I?m left with the pain
After the hurricane
In the song, "After The Hurricane" by Sullivan Jazmine, the lyrics represent the aftermath of a relationship that has ended in heartbreak. The singer describes her partner's behavior, and reveals that she had been anticipating the relationship to end. The storm metaphor is used in the song to describe the pain and destruction that the singer feels after the end of their relationship, much like the aftermath of a hurricane.
Throughout the chorus, the hurricane metaphor is repeated with different scenarios to represent the different stages of heartbreak. The first two lines of the chorus describe how tears and wind signal the beginning of a storm, which is a metaphor for the beginning of heartbreak. The subsequent lines about rain and pain represent the intensity of the storm which indicates how deep the heartbreak is.
The final verse hints at a message of hope, where the singer declares that she will put her life back together again after the hurricane has passed. This can be interpreted as a message to persevere through tough times and emerge stronger from the storm.
