Hurricane (Bridgit Mendler)

In 'Hurricane,' Violetta delves into the tumultuous nature of a relationship that feels like a storm. The song uses weather metaphors to describe the emotional highs and lows experienced with a significant other. The opening lines, 'Think the clouds are clogging up my brain / Like the weather the drain same as the tears on my face,' set the stage for a narrative filled with emotional turbulence. The protagonist feels overwhelmed, as if caught in the eye of a hurricane, where moments of calm are surrounded by chaos.

The chorus, 'I'm boarding up the windows / Lockin' up my heart / It's like everytime the wind blows / I feel it tearin' us apart,' captures the defensive mechanisms the protagonist employs to protect herself from the emotional upheaval. Despite these efforts, the allure of the relationship is strong, and she finds herself letting her guard down repeatedly. The line 'Everything is fine when / You're standin' in the eye of the hurricane' suggests that while there are moments of peace, they are fleeting and surrounded by impending turmoil.

The song also touches on the cyclical nature of this emotional storm. Lines like 'Here comes the sun / Here comes the rain' emphasize the unpredictable and repetitive pattern of highs and lows. The protagonist's vulnerability is evident when she describes herself as 'floppin' on my bed like a flyin' squirrel / Like a little girl hurt by the big bad world.' Despite the chaos, there is a sense of hope and resilience, as she navigates through the storm, holding on to the moments of calm and connection.
