Hurricane Drunk Lyrics
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
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 going to hurt
But I like to think at least things can't get any worse
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 going to blow this all away
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 going to hurt
But I like to think at least things can't get any worse
'Cause I'm staring at you
But when you look over
You look right through
Then you lean and kiss her on the head
And I never felt so alive
And so dead
I'm going 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 going to hurt
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 going to hurt
I'm going out
I'm going out
I'm going out
I'm going out
I'm going out
i saw her on may 27 at the bloomsbury ballroom, and she said that this song was "about breaking up with somebody, and then getting so depressed that you're at the point of just not caring about it, and going out and getting really drunk, and then seeing them with somebody else so it's kind of a sad song but then it's kind of a happy song because you're like 'ok well it can't get worse than this let's just get drunk' so let's just get drunk" :)
I LOVE this song!!! who hasn't experienced this?
people who don't drink
people who don't drink
This song is amazing, Florence is brilliant.
i think this song is pretty much about self harm/self destruction by means of drinking after a bad relationship. she's baisically saying she is going to drink away her problems, and she doesnt want or need help because she's 'in the grip of a hurricane'.

It's not
"No home, I don't want shelter, No calm, Nothing to keep me from the storm, And you can't save me now, I'm in the grip of a hurricane, It's gonna blow us all away."
It is
"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."
I just love the concept of being 'hurricane drunk' - there are plenty of times when life has become pretty unbearable for whatever reason and you just want to forget your troubles for one night, the hurricane takes you and you blast off into oblivion.
I think it's about feeling reckless. I think she's likes someone, or even loves him, and then she see's him with someone else.
"And in the crowd I see you with someone else I brace myself 'Cause I know it's going to hurt"
And I think he's never really noticed her and has no idea of the pain she's in.
"I hope that you see me 'Cause I'm staring at you But when you look over You look right through Then you lean and kiss her on the head And I never felt so alive And so dead"
And in an interview she said it's about that reckless feeling you get when you think "At least things can't get any worse" and then you go around doing whatever you want, because nothing else can hurt as bad as that.
Love this song, one of my favourites on the album...
in the second verse, you've put
"And you can't save me now, I'm in the grip of a hurricane, It's gonna blow us all away."
but it's actually "and you can't hold me down, i belong to the hurricane, it's gonna blow us all away."
i love this song. my favourite on the album.
these were the lyrics she first wrote, if you listen to live versions before the album, these are the lyrics she sang :).
