Hurricane

Vaults' song 'Hurricane' delves deep into the emotional chaos and turmoil that can accompany a failing relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person clinging to something that causes pain, symbolized by the line 'You’re holding on just to feel something that hurts.' This suggests a sense of desperation and a struggle to find meaning or connection, even if it is through suffering. The repeated use of the word 'loveless' and 'heartless' underscores a profound sense of emptiness and emotional detachment.

The imagery of a 'white flag hitting the ground' is a powerful metaphor for surrender and giving up. It signifies the end of a battle, in this case, the battle to keep the relationship alive. The recurring line 'And everyone feels the same, picked up and thrown by a hurricane' suggests a shared experience of being overwhelmed and tossed around by uncontrollable forces. The hurricane metaphor captures the intensity and unpredictability of emotions, as well as the sense of being at the mercy of something much larger than oneself.

The song also touches on the difficulty of trying to rebuild or move forward after such emotional devastation. The lines 'Why don't you wanna try again and get through? It's getting harder and harder to be someone' reflect the exhaustion and hopelessness that can come with repeated attempts to mend what is broken. The weight of these efforts seems to only further fragment the individual, as indicated by 'The more you try and face the less you are blown apart by the weight of it.' This poignant portrayal of emotional struggle and surrender makes 'Hurricane' a deeply resonant and relatable song for anyone who has experienced the tumult of a failing relationship.
