Twin Owls creates music of dream-swept landscapes of wanderlust and new beginnings, crafted in sonic breadth and resonance to fill oceans of infinite space.
A sound with peaks and pitfalls and a sense of longing to escape is crystallised in the intricate lines of guitar, leaving trails across the surface of sensual keys and bass.
Twin Owls’ rich dream-pop takes influence from a vast range of legendary and contemporary artists. Pearls of @Kate Bush echo in the instrumentation, whilst the songwriting reflects the sensibilities of bands like M83, Death Cab for Cutie, Hammock and Sigur Rós.
It’s time to take heed of boundless freedom and dive into the great Twin Owls sound.

Hurricanes
Twin Owls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 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
The lyrics in Twin Owls' song "Hurricanes" appear to speak of someone who is struggling to find their way in life after experiencing a significant setback or disappointment. The lines "did those demons derail all of your butterfly dreams" and "you lost your soul, you want to feel that something lost" seem to indicate that this person has lost their way and is struggling to find meaning and purpose in their life.
The chorus, "come and stand by my side, you and I we'll not hide, and we'll fight it off," could be interpreted as the singer offering their support and encouragement to this person, encouraging them not to give up and not to hide from their problems. The lines "facing a mirror reflection, it all just feels like a hurricane" suggest that this person is experiencing emotional turmoil and feels overwhelmed by their circumstances.
The overall message of the song seems to be one of hope and encouragement. The singer is urging the listener to face their problems head-on, to show their passion and not give up on their dreams.

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
