Hello Hurricane
Weathering the Storm of Love: Switchfoot's Resilient Anthem
Lyrics
Oh, oh
Expression of emotion, possibly anticipation or realization
Oh, oh
Continuation of emotional expression
Oh, oh
Reiteration of emotional expression
Oh, I've been watching the skies
Observation of the sky, setting the scene
They've been turning blood red
Metaphorical description of the sky turning ominous
Not a doubt in my mind anymore
Certainty about an impending storm
There's a storm up ahead
Acknowledgment of a storm approaching
Hello hurricane
Greeting to the hurricane as if it's a sentient entity
You're not enough
Recognition that the hurricane is insufficient or lacking
Hello hurricane
Repetition of acknowledging the hurricane
You can't silence my love
Assertion that love cannot be silenced by the hurricane
I've got doors and windows boarded up
Preparation for the storm, both physically and metaphorically
All your dead end fury is not enough
The destructive force of the hurricane is inadequate
You can't silence my love
Reiteration of the resilience of love
Oh (my love)
Repetition of emotional expression
Oh
Continuation of emotional expression
Everything I have I count as loss
Acknowledgment of loss in the face of the hurricane
Everything I have is stripped away
Everything the speaker has is being taken away
Before I started building
Reference to the speaker's efforts before the storm
I counted up these costs
Consideration of the costs involved in building
There's nothing left for you to take away
Nothing left for the hurricane to take away
Hello hurricane
Repeated acknowledgment of the hurricane's insufficiency
You're not enough
Reiteration of the hurricane's inadequacy
Hello hurricane
Repetition of acknowledging the hurricane
You can't silence my love
Assertion that love cannot be silenced by the hurricane
I've got doors and windows boarded up
Preparation for the storm, both physically and metaphorically
All your dead end fury is not enough
The destructive force of the hurricane is inadequate
You can't silence my love
Reiteration of the resilience of love
My love
Repetition of emotional expression
I'm a fighter fighting for control
Declaration of being a fighter, emphasizing control
I'm a fighter fighting for my soul
Continuation of the declaration of fighting for the soul
Everything inside of me surrenders
Surrendering internally while maintaining the fight
You can't silence my love
Reassertion that love cannot be silenced
Oh, oh, oh
Repetition of emotional expression
Hello hurricane
Repeated acknowledgment of the hurricane's insufficiency
You're not enough
Reiteration of the hurricane's inadequacy
Hello hurricane
Repetition of acknowledging the hurricane
You can't silence my love
Assertion that love cannot be silenced by the hurricane
I've got doors and windows boarded up
Preparation for the storm, both physically and metaphorically
All your dead end fury is not enough
The destructive force of the hurricane is inadequate
You can't silence my love
Reiteration of the resilience of love
My love
Repetition of emotional expression
