This track with gospel-influenced layers of sound is about the emotions that you feel when you have been heartbroken.

[Verse 1]
No walls can keep me protected
No sleep, nothing in between me and the rain
And you can't save me now
I'm in the grip of a hurricane
I'm gonna blow myself away
[Chorus]
I'm goin' out, I'm gonna drink myself to death
And in the crowd, I see you with someone else
I brace myself 'cause I know it's gonna hurt
But I like to think, at least, things can't get any worse
[Verse 2]
No home, I don't want shelter
No calm, nothing to keep me from the storm
And you can't hold me down
'Cause I belong to the hurricane
It's gonna blow this all away
[Chorus]
I'm goin' out, I'm gonna drink myself to death
And in the crowd, I see you with someone else
I brace myself 'cause I know it's gonna hurt
But I like to think, at least, things can't get any worse
[Bridge]
I hope that you see me 'cause I'm staring at you
But when you look over, you look right through
And then you lean and kiss her on the head
And I never felt so alive and so dead
[Chorus]
I'm goin' out, I'm gonna drink myself to death
And in the crowd, I see you with someone else
I brace myself 'cause I know it's goin' to hurt
I'm goin' out
I'm goin' out, I'm gonna drink myself to death
And in the crowd, I see you with someone else
I brace myself 'cause I know it's goin' to hurt
But I like to think, at least, things can't get any worse
[Outro]
I'm goin' out, woah
I'm goin' out, woah
I'm goin' out
I'm goin' out, woah
And I'm goin' out
Hurricane Drunk was written by Eg White & Florence Welch.
Hurricane Drunk was produced by Eg White.
Florence + the Machine released Hurricane Drunk on Fri Jul 03 2009.
Welch explained on her old website:
This was written in about 10 minutes. I’d never had my heart broken before, and when I did I realised how delicious it can be, how intoxicating. You suddenly realise that all the little things you cared about don’t matter. You don’t care about anything. You think...
No; However, Florence tweeted about the song’s video:
Shooting video today, with blue skinned shangri la ladies, a Viking, A gospel choir, I’m dressed as a kabuki monk…. All in a days work really…x
But it was scraped. Part of the video was later released
