STORM CAME
The arrival of a storm is indicated.
There's a train out there
A train is metaphorically described, potentially symbolizing a powerful force or change.
I hear it coming for me
An imminent threat is acknowledged, possibly representing challenges approaching.
It's snapping trees and climbing houses
The destructive nature of the approaching threat is emphasized.
There's a train out there
The train's presence is reiterated, suggesting an unavoidable event.
Riding its rail
The train is on a path leading directly to the speaker.
Riding its rail to me
-There's a flood out there
A flood is introduced, symbolizing overwhelming challenges.
Surrounding my home
The severity of the flood is described, causing destruction to the speaker's surroundings.
Tearing up my yard
-Until my yard was gone
-There's a flood out there
The flood is further emphasized, resulting in the loss of the speaker's home.
Taking my home
The irreversible impact of the flood on the speaker's home is conveyed.
Taking my home from me
-We thought all hope was lost
Reflection on the initial despair caused by the storm, highlighting the resilience to carry on.
When the storm came and knocked us down
-We thought everything was gone
-When the storm came and knocked us down
-If only we had known
-When the storm came and knocked us down
-We'd join together and carry on
-When the storm came and knocked us down
-There's a loss out there
A sense of loss is introduced, observed in the speaker's surroundings.
I can see it all around me
The extent of loss is seen in the eyes of neighbors and family.
In my neighbor's eyes
-And all our family
-There's a loss out there
The speaker acknowledges personal loss extending as far as they can see.
As far as I
The vastness of the personal loss is emphasized.
As far as I can see
-We thought all hope was lost
Similar reflection and resilience in the face of loss, mirroring the response to the storm.
When the storm came and knocked us down
-We thought everything was gone
-When the storm came and knocked us down
-If only we had known
-When the storm came and knocked us down
-We'd join together and carry on
-When the storm came and knocked us down
-There's a train
Repetition of the train metaphor, underscoring the persistent and unavoidable nature of the approaching force.
There's a train
-There's a train
-There's a train
-There's a train
-There's a train
-There's a train
-There's a train
-Riding its rail
The train is explicitly riding its rail to the speaker, emphasizing the inescapable nature of the impending change.
Riding its rail to me
