Strange Weather
Unpredictable Forces: Naomi Westwater's Strange Weather
Lyrics
Strange weather's been creeping in
Unusual or abnormal weather patterns have started to appear
Suddenly the sky's darkening
Suddenly, the sky is becoming darker
Casting shadows on 7th in Brooklyn
Shadows are being cast on 7th Street in Brooklyn, possibly indicating a sense of foreboding or darkness
You don't know why
There's an absence of understanding regarding the cause or reason behind the weather changes
Clouds overtake the sunset
Clouds are covering and obscuring the sunset
Dry places all turn to wet
Places that were once dry are now becoming wet due to the weather changes
Where there was desert
Areas previously desert-like are now turning into muddy pits
Now there's a mud pit
The contrast between what was and what is now due to the weather's impact
And there was a tornado in Springfield just by your house
Specifically mentioning a tornado in Springfield near the speaker's house, portraying the suddenness and proximity of danger
All of a sudden the wind thrashed you around
The sudden and forceful impact of the wind from the tornado on the speaker
Strange weather comes but it don't go
Strange weather persists without fading away or resolving
Boston's drowning in 9 feet of snow
A description of the extreme weather conditions in Boston, buried under a significant amount of snow
Lightning strikes and then the power goes
Lightning strikes, causing power outages and disruptions
And you don't know why
Continued lack of understanding about the reasons behind these extreme weather events
Heavy water falling down, down, down
Intense rainfall or precipitation occurring heavily
Yet California's still in drought
Despite severe weather elsewhere, California remains in drought, highlighting the unpredictability and disparities of weather conditions
Trees smoking up
Imagery of trees on fire or burning, possibly from drought or other climate-related issues
But you still have doubt
The speaker still harbors doubts despite witnessing extreme weather events
There was a tornado in Springfield just by your house
Reiteration of the tornado in Springfield near the speaker's house and its sudden impact
All of a sudden the wind thrashed you around
Repetition of the sudden and forceful impact of the wind from the tornado on the speaker
There was a tornado in Springfield just by your house
Reiteration of the tornado's impact near the speaker's house
All of a sudden the wind thrashed you around
Repetition of the sudden and forceful impact of the wind from the tornado on the speaker
Strange weather's been creeping in
Reaffirmation that unusual weather patterns are persisting
Strange weather's been creeping in
-Strange weather's been creeping in
-Strange weather's been creeping in
