Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You feel the power, about to attack
The wind is gone, I scream with pain
You hear it's warning and it drives you insane
It gonna drive you insane
Well, it's a hurricane, yeah
Well, it's a hurricane, yeah
And it's coming down on you, you, you, you
Fear strikes, deep inside
You're on your own, with no place to hide
Much too late, you hear that sound
You're in it's grasp, never to be found
Well, it's a hurricane, yeah
And it's coming down on you
Well, it's a hurricane, yeah
