Third Storm, King Lear
Storm's Triumph: Confronting Elements and Inner Demons
Lyrics
Contending with the elements
Struggling against challenging forces or circumstances
That blow the earth into the sea
Referring to powerful natural elements that can cause destruction
Or swell the curl’ed water now
Describing the rising and turbulent water with curled waves
And flood the land for all to cease
Indicating a catastrophic flooding that affects everyone
OOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH
Expressing a primal, intense sound or emotion
A mood to match the weather now
Aligning emotions with the current weather conditions
I strike at lightning, spit at rain
Defiantly confronting the elements, using physical actions
Bellow an echo to the storm
Loudly proclaiming resistance to the storm
I’ll die before you win again
Committing to facing challenges and refusing to be defeated
OOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH
Continuing the intense, emotional expression
In my hour of darkness here , I see a burning sky
Reflecting on personal struggles during a dark and difficult time
Let the fire of Hades come for me, stare me in the eye
Invoking the imagery of Hades, the god of the underworld, and embracing impending challenges
In my hour of darkness, I Rise
Rising above difficulties and challenges
Facing the great white helplessness inside
Facing a sense of helplessness with determination
Rise! Rise! Rise! Rise! Rise! Rise!
Repeatedly urging oneself or others to rise and overcome
OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH
Intensifying the emotional expression
Tearing at my whitened hair
Symbolizing distress or anguish through physical appearance
Ripped by the wind with blinding rage
Describing the impact of the relentless and furious wind
Caught in the fury of it’s blast
Caught in the midst of the storm, expressing defiance
As I out-roar the wind and rain
Asserting dominance over the elements, using a metaphorical roar
