“Hurricane,” the opening track and lead European single off Secondhand Rapture, sees Ms Mr lead singer Lizzy Plapinger grapple with her concern over inherent workings in her mind ruining her relationships, building through a storm metaphor.
It was the second international single off Secondhand Rapt...
[Verse 1]
Didn't know what this would be
But I knew I didn't see
What you thought
You saw in me
I jumped the gun
So sure you'd split and run
Ready for the worst
Before the damage was done
[Verse 2]
The storm never came
Or it never was
Didn't know getting lost in the blue
It meant I wound up losing you
[Chorus]
Welcome to the inner workings of my mind
So dark and foul, I can't disguise, can't disguise
Nights like this, I become afraid
Of the darkness in my heart
Hurricane
[Verse 3]
What's wrong with me
Why not understand and see
I never saw
What you saw in me
Keep my eyes open
My lips sealed
My heart closed
And my ears peeled
[Chorus]
Welcome to the inner workings of my mind
So dark and foul, I can't disguise, can't disguise
Nights like this, I become afraid
Of the darkness in my heart
Hurricane
[Verse 4]
Make ash and leave the dust behind
Lady diamond in the sky
Wild light
Glowing bright to guide me
When I fall
When I fall on tragedy
[Chorus]
Welcome to the inner workings of my mind
So dark and foul, I can't disguise, can't disguise
Nights like this, I become afraid
Of the darkness in my heart
Hurricane
