Hurricanes
Twin Owls Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So did those demons derail
All of your butterfly dreams
A tornado causing wave of disruption
That took the light away
From your imagination
And did you really think
It was all just one big pipe dream
Did you trade up all your built up frustrations
You lost your soul
You want to feel that something lost
But you can find it
But you can find that something you want

So come and stand by my side
You and I we'll not hide
And we'll fight it off
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
So come and stand by my side
You and I we'll not hide
We're gonna find your all
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Facing a mirror reflection
It all just feels like a hurricane
You can run and hide
Or go face this storm with stride
Go show your passion
Don't say this is really all you've got

So come and stand by my side
You and I we'll not hide
And we'll fight it off
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
So come and stand by my side
You and I we'll not hide
We're gonna find your all
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Don't say, don't say
Don't say this is all you've got
Don't say, don't say
Don't say this is all you've got

So come and stand by my side
You and I we'll not hide
And we'll fight it off
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
So come and stand by my side
You and I we'll not hide




We're gonna find your all
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Line by Line Meaning

So did those demons derail
Were those inner struggles too much to handle?


All of your butterfly dreams
All those wishes and aspirations you held close


A tornado causing wave of disruption
A force that shook everything up


That took the light away
Leaving you in darkness


From your imagination
The source of your creativity


And did you really think
Did you honestly believe


It was all just one big pipe dream
That it was just an unrealistic fantasy


Did you trade up all your built up frustrations
Did you exchange all your pent-up negativity


You lost your soul
You feel empty and lost


You want to feel that something lost
You crave that feeling of something missing


But you can find it
You can still find what's missing


But you can find that something you want
You can still discover the missing piece of yourself


So come and stand by my side
Join me, and stand by me


You and I we'll not hide
Together, we won't hide from our problems


And we'll fight it off
We will overcome the challenges


Facing a mirror reflection
Confronting yourself


It all just feels like a hurricane
It's all too overwhelming


You can run and hide
You can try to escape


Or go face this storm with stride
Or confront the challenge with confidence


Go show your passion
Demonstrate your enthusiasm


Don't say this is really all you've got
Don't give up or accept defeat


Don't say, don't say
Don't utter, don't claim


We're gonna find your all
We'll discover your true potential
