Storms
Tom Odell/Musicfire.in Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So long, so long living
With these heavy clouds following me

I can't go, I can't go on running
With these muddy roads holding my feet

Need one of these storms
One of these storms
One of these storms
To wash me clean

So long, so long just living
With these heavy clothes upon my skin

I've spent so long, so long thinking
These sleepless nights they keep me thin

I need one of these storms
One of these storms
One of these storms
To wash us clean

Need one of these storms
One of these storms
One of these storms
To wash us clean, oh yeah

Need one of these storms
One of these storms
One of these storms
To wash us clean

I need one of these storms
One of these storms




One of these storms
To wash us clean

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Tom Odell/Musicfire.in's song "Storms" appear to carry a sense of longing for something that can help the singer break out of a cycle or a rut in life. The first verse, "so long, so long living with these heavy clouds following me", paints a picture of someone who feels weighed down and burdened by a constant source of stress or negativity in their life. The second verse, "so long, so long just living with these heavy clothes upon my skin", suggests that this burden has been carried for a long time, and the weight of it is starting to become physically manifest. The refrain, "I need one of these storms to wash me clean", seems to indicate that the singer is seeking some sort of release or catharsis that will help them shake off these heavy clouds and clothes, and start anew.


The repeated use of "one of these storms" as a metaphor for this release is quite interesting, since a storm can be seen as both destructive and cleansing. On the one hand, a storm can wreck havoc and cause damage, but on the other hand, it can also wash away the dirt and grime that's accumulated, leaving things fresh and clear. This duality seems to be reflected in the singer's desire for a storm to wash them clean, emphasizing both the need for something powerful and transformative, and the potential risks involved in seeking that transformation.

lyrics
I let it fall, my heart
And as it fell, you rose to claim it
It was dark and I was over
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me
My hands, they're strong
But my knees were far too weak
To stand in your arms
Without falling to your feet
But there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say
They were never true, never true
And the games you play
You would always win, always win
But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name
Your name
When I lay with you
I could stay there
Close my eyes
Feel you here forever
You and me together, nothing gets better
'Cause there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say
They were never true, never true
And the games you'd play
You would always win, always win
But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name
Your name
I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
When it fell, something died
'Cause I knew that that was
The last time, the last time
Sometimes I wake up by the door
That heart you caught must be waiting for you
Even now, when we're already over
I can't help myself from looking for you
I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name
Your name
I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
When it fell, something died
'Cause I knew that that was the last time
The last time
Oh, oh, no
Let it burn
Oh, oh
Let it burn
Let it burn



@cheristevens3696

To everyone who is doing homework, leave the chat, breathe slowly, take a sip of water, and focus

To everyone who is trying to sleep, leave the chat, grab a blanket, and get the rest you deserve.

To everyone who is feeling sad, grab a snack, get some water, get a blanket, and write down your thoughts. When you're done, lay down, and get some rest, no matter the time.

To everyone who is creating, you got this. Your art is amazing. Remain in your flow and get stuff done!

—Not mine, but pass it around <33

And if somebody hurts you I wanna fight
But my hands been broken one too many times
So I’ll use my voice

Words they always win
But I know I’ll lose
And I’d sing a song that’ll be just ours
But I sang ‘em all to another heart
And I wanna cry
I wanna learn to love
But all my tears have been used up
On a another love

Eu quero te levar a algum lugar para que você saiba que eu me importo
I wanna take you somewhere so you know I care

Mas está tão frio e não sei onde
But it's so cold and I don't know where

Eu trouxe narcisos em uma corda bonita
I brought you daffodils in a pretty string

Mas eles não vão florescer como na primavera passada
But they won't flower like they did last spring

E eu quero te beijar, fazer você se sentir bem
And I wanna kiss you, make you feel alright

Estou tão cansado de compartilhar minhas noites
I'm just so tired to share my nights

Eu quero chorar e eu quero amar
I wanna cry and I wanna love

Mas todas as minhas lágrimas foram usadas
But all my tears have been used up

Em outro amor, outro amor
On another love, another love

Todas as minhas lágrimas foram gastas
All my tears have been used up

Em outro amor, outro amor
On another love, another love

Todas as minhas lágrimas foram gastas
All my tears have been used up

Em outro amor, outro amor
On another love, another love

Todas as minhas lágrimas foram usadas, até
All my tears have been used up, up

E se alguém te machucar, eu quero lutar
And if somebody hurts you, I wanna fight

Mas minha mão foi quebrada muitas vezes
But my hand's been broken one too many times

Então eu vou usar minha voz, eu vou ser tão rude
So I'll use my voice, I'll be so fucking rude

Palavras, elas sempre ganham, mas eu sei que vou perder
Words, they always win, but I know I'll lose

E eu cantaria uma música que seria só nossa
And I'd sing a song that'd be just ours

Mas eu cantei todas para outro coração
But I sang 'em all to another heart

E eu quero chorar, eu quero aprender a amar
And I wanna cry, I wanna learn to love

Mas todas as minhas lágrimas foram usadas
But all my tears have been used up

Em outro amor, outro amor
On another love, another love

Todas as minhas lágrimas foram gastas
All my tears have been used up

Em outro amor, outro amor
On another love, another love

Todas as minhas lágrimas foram gastas
All my tears have been used up

Em outro amor, outro amor
On another love, another love

Todas as minhas lágrimas foram usadas, até
All my tears have been used up, up

Oh, preciso de um amor, agora
Oh, need a love, now

Meu coração está pensando em
My heart is thinking of

Eu quero cantar uma música que seria só nossa
I wanna sing a song that'd be just ours

Mas eu cantei todas para outro coração
But I sang 'em all to another heart

E eu quero chorar, eu quero me apaixonar
And I wanna cry, I wanna fall in love

Mas todas as minhas lágrimas foram usadas
But all my tears have been used up

Em outro amor, outro amor
On another love, another love

Todas as minhas lágrimas foram gastas
All my tears have been used up

Em outro amor, outro amor
On another love, another love

Todas as minhas lágrimas foram gastas
All my tears have been used up

Em outro amor, outro amor
On another love, another love

Todas as minhas lágrimas foram usadas, até
All my tears have been used up, up
