Hurricane Hole
Navigating Life's Storms: Michelle Davies' 'Hurricane Hole' Meaning
Lyrics
Take a breath take it slowly
Encouragement to take a moment and relax.
Baby eyes see you to hold me
Expressing a desire for the comforting presence of a loved one.
Mama smiles as baby slides to sleep
Depicting a peaceful scene of a baby falling asleep with the mother's smile.
Take my hand and lead me gently
A plea for guidance and support from a trusted person.
Cross the street with new legs trembling
Symbolizing a new beginning or journey with uncertainty.
Patiently as baby finds her feet
Describing the patience required as someone embarks on a new phase.
Mama hails me
Mentioning the mother's presence and attention.
She asks what ails me I said I don't know
Expressing inner turmoil without a clear understanding.
She says hush don't think about it
Mother's advice to avoid dwelling on problems.
We can just talk about it
Suggesting the option to discuss troubles openly.
And I'll never leave you alone
A promise of constant companionship and support.
Open wings and a breeze to kiss them
Imagery of freedom and a gentle breeze.
Mama smiles and blows to lift them
Mother's involvement in uplifting the person, like wind beneath wings.
As baby soars watching from below
Metaphor of personal growth and watching from a higher perspective.
Falling stars and I will catch them
Symbolic pursuit of dreams and the challenges faced.
But they leave me scarred and have me wishing
Acknowledging past struggles and their lasting impact.
For a place to land that I can just go home
Longing for a place of comfort and belonging.
Mama hails me
Reiteration of the mother's presence and concern.
She asks what ails me I said I don't know
Continuation of the inner struggle without clear understanding.
She says hush don't think about it
Mother's advice to focus on the present and not overthink.
We can just talk about it
Encouragement to share thoughts openly.
And I'll never leave you alone
Reassurance of constant support and companionship.
Walkabouts and compass headings
References to wandering and searching for direction.
But these soles wear out these sails need mending
Acknowledgment of wear and tear in the journey.
Guides a shining star reminding me to breathe
Guidance from a shining star as a reminder to breathe.
You left your mark you left it on me
Acknowledging the impact of someone significant on the individual.
Though very far I feel your heartbeat
Feeling the presence and influence of a distant heartbeat.
Morse code tones as the moon pulls the open sea
Symbolic communication through Morse code and the moon's pull.
Mama hails me
Reiteration of the mother's connection and communication.
As these sails lead you across the globe
Metaphorical journey led by sails across the globe.
She says as you walk about
Mother's advice to stay connected even in the vastness.
If that breeze turns stout
Acknowledgment of challenges and uncertainty in the journey.
I'll be your hurricane hole
Promise of being a source of stability in tumultuous times.
Mama hails me
Reiteration of the mother's presence and concern.
She asks what ails me I said I don't know
Continuation of the inner turmoil without clear understanding.
She says hush don't think about it
Mother's advice to focus on the present and not overthink.
We can just talk about it
Encouragement to share thoughts openly.
And I'll never leave you alone
Reassurance of constant support and companionship.
