Storm
The Wall Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Know I been away storm chasing
Called you back to tell you that I made it
Everywhere I look new faces
Everywhere I look new faces
But I can't seem to figure how they know me
Labels only calling for the old me
And I can't fuck with fake
Shit that's below me
That's probably why I'm
Always feeling lonely

Light start to bleed through
Finally I can see you
And I can't see my future but I
Can tell that I'm gon' need you
Laser vision lethal
Watch me thread the needle
Yeah I can't wait to shine so I
Can tell all of my people that's honest
I promise my word is my prophet
My work gon' reap profit's
I fixed up my compass
And my conscious is floating
My drink way to potent crash landing
Yeah I'm still standing
Know I had to gotta make a
Whole scene before I vanished
Know I got the hometown team advantage
Know I had to go off
Last spring and speak Spanish
CHROMA show'd me how to write
Fuck that CHROMA helped me find my light
Fuck that them my brothers set for life
Fuck that Primavera til I die
Put that on that dotted line

Know I been away storm chasing
Called you back to tell you that I made it
Everywhere I look new faces
Everywhere I look new faces
But I can't seem to figure how they know me
Labels only calling for the old me
And I can't fuck with fake
Shit that's below me
That's probably why I'm
Always feeling lonely

I took some light scars
Spinning bright stars
Overhead I got some light stars
This a nice car
Made a record need a moon man i'm a new man
They forget I'm only human
And I been losing
I paid my dues and now I'm chasing
Trail blazing
I ran with Dev' a couple races
Now he's famous
I ran the check up from my basement
New arrangements
I never paid for any placements
Fuck a playlist
Don't try to ask me how my day been
Trail blazing
I ran with Dev' a couple races
Now he's famous
I ran the check up from my basement
New arrangements
I never paid for any placements
Fuck a playlist
I'm running through the storm chasing

Know I been away storm chasing
Called you back to tell you that I made it
Everywhere I look new faces
Everywhere I look new faces
But I can't seem to figure how they know me
Labels only calling for the old me
And I can't fuck with fake
Shit that's below me




That's probably why I'm
Always feeling lonely

Overall Meaning

In the song "Storm" by The Wall, the artist reflects on his journey to success and the relationships he has built along the way. He starts by mentioning that he has been "storm chasing" - it’s a metaphor for chasing his dreams and pursuing his passion. He has been away from home for a while and has met new people, but he cannot understand how they know him. The labels that previously ignored him are now calling for him, but he does not want to associate himself with anything fake or below him. This leaves him feeling lonely because not everyone can understand the struggle that comes with success.


The artist then sees the light, both literally and metaphorically. He sees his loved ones and how they are his future. He has a vision that is deadly and precise - he is referring to his determination and his willingness to fight for his dreams. He can't wait to tell his people that he has made it and that he has fulfilled his promise to them to be honest and always speak the truth. He has found his direction, and his conscious is clear. He is still standing after a massive storm that he faced, and he is confident that he will continue to navigate through the storm, even in the future.
