The Storm
Embrace the Fury: Unveiling Nature's Power in Crystal Bowersox's 'The Storm'
Lyrics
They say don't play with lightning
Cautionary advice against taking risks with dangerous elements like lightning.
If you Hear that thunder, go inside
When thunder is heard, it's advised to seek safety indoors.
An angry wind is mighty frightening
An intense wind can be very frightening.
Hail come down, go run and hide
Hail prompts the urge to find shelter and protect oneself.
But a raindrop she ain't scared of the river
A raindrop symbolizes resilience against a larger force like a river.
A spark ain't afraid of a raging fire
A small spark is unafraid of a large, raging fire.
Ain't no better way to put it to you, Mister
Asserts that facing a challenge directly is the best approach.
You're looking a hurricane in the eye
Directly confronting and challenging a hurricane.
I am the storm
Reiteration of the speaker identifying themselves as the powerful force, the storm.
I am the storm
-I am the storm
-I am the storm
-Keep your hands to yourself
Advises to respect boundaries and not intrude.
Show a little respect
Emphasizes the importance of showing respect.
Cause mother nature don't forgive
Warning about nature's unforgiving nature.
And she won't forget
Nature's memory regarding actions taken against it.
If you don't wait for an invitation
The lack of waiting for an invitation might have consequences.
It won't matter if years go by
Actions having immediate consequences despite time passing.
Whirlwind blowing up an accusation
Comparing an accusation to a whirlwind affecting one's perception.
Makes a black cloud cover up your blue sky
Consequences overshadowing positive experiences.
She looked so hot that you just had to kiss her
Describing an inappropriate advance despite the recipient's refusal.
She said no but it fueled the fire
Rejection fuels the intensity of the situation.
Ain't no better way to put it to you, Mister
Highlighting the strength of the hurricane compared to personal desires.
This hurricane is stronger than your desire
Asserting collective identity as the storm.
We are the storm
Repetition of the collective identification with the storm.
We are the storm
-We are the storm
-We are the storm
-Keep your hands to yourself
Reiteration of respecting boundaries and consequences from nature.
Show a little respect
-Cause mother nature don't forgive
-And she won't forget
-They say don't play with lighting
Repetition of earlier cautionary advice regarding lightning, thunder, wind, and hurricanes.
If you hear that thunder run and hide
-An angry wind is mighty frightening
-Yeah the hurricane's coming
-We are the Storm
Strong emphasis on the collective identity as the storm.
We are the Storm
-We are the storm
-We are the storm
