The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Hurricane" by the artist "Wild Belle"

The song "Hurricane" by Wild Belle depicts a turbulent and destructive romance, akin to a hurricane. The lyrical heroine reminisces about a passionate yet unstable relationship where she was completely consumed by her lover despite his unpredictable and even destructive nature.

The song begins by painting a picture of carefree summer love, where the lovers felt inseparable. However, this idyllic scene quickly crumbles with the arrival of a "raven with an untamed heart." This image embodies the heroine's lover - a dark, rebellious, and elusive force. The heroine, being a dreamer, falls for him despite his obvious flaws.

The arrival of love is compared to a hurricane: sudden, powerful, and all-consuming. The heroine feels herself losing herself in this relationship, knocked down and absorbed by this irresistible force.

Gradually, the heroine begins to realize that her love is suffocating her lover. He distances himself, seeking escape from her all-consuming passion. His promises of eternal love and devotion turn out to be empty words. He is like a preacher hiding his dark essence.

At the end of the song, the heroine sounds doomed and helpless. She is ready to surrender, to let go of this man, but at the same time begs him not to leave her alone. The repeated refrain "Like a hurricane, he knocked me down and swallowed me up" emphasizes how deeply the heroine is mired in this relationship, how much she has suffered and how difficult it is for her to let go of this love, despite all the pain it causes her.

We had no limits that summer

The sky could be fallin',

But we'd always have each other

I was lost in you

He came down like a raven

He had a wild heart

And always misbehaving

I was a dreamer,

But he was always running away

[Chorus: x2]

He was a hurricane,

Took me down

And swept me away

Maybe my love

Was like a prison

He starts to look away,

His eyes begin to drift,

I was losing you

He said I was forever,

He would do anything

Try and give me everything,

Spoke like a preacher,

But he was dealing with the devil

[Chorus: x4]

He was a hurricane,

Took me down

And swept me away

[2x:]

Give me a promise, don't leave me in the dark

I'm giving up, I'm letting go, I'm helpless

[Chorus: x4]

He was a hurricane,

Took me down

And swept me away
