I Prevail Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Tell me I was never good enough
Remind me of the demons that I've been running from
Tell me who the hell you thought I was
Or just blame it on the person, the person I've become

Lately, I don't give a fuck
'Cause I can't be myself when I'm with anyone
Maybe, I'm already gone

I'll never be the same

It hit me like a hurricane
It hit me like a tidal wave
And I don't know why I drown my mind in everything they say
It hit me like a hurricane
It hit me like a tidal wave
And I don't know why I drown my mind, it got the best of me

Tell me that I'm lost inside my mind
(I reach out but it's pulling me under)
Remind me I've been searching for something I won't find
Tell me I was never worth the time
(I reach out but it's pulling me under)
Or just blame it on the person you think I left behind

Lately, I don't give a fuck
'Cause I can't be myself when I'm with anyone
Maybe, I'm already gone
I'll never be the same

It hit me like a hurricane
It hit me like a tidal wave
And I don't know why I drown my mind in everything they say
It hit me like a hurricane (hurricane)
It hit me like a tidal wave (tidal wave)
And I don't know why I drown my mind it got the best of me

With your life on the line
Ready to die for something
When you're at the divide
And you're down to nothing
Look into my eyes
Believe me that the storm is coming

Believe me that the storm is coming
Down, down, down
It's coming down

It hit me like a hurricane
It hit me like a tidal wave
And I don't know why I drown my mind in everything they say
It hit me like a hurricane (hurricane)
It hit me like a tidal wave (tidal wave)
And I don't know why I drown my mind, it got the best of me

It's coming down, down
Believe me that the storm is coming down

Lately, I don't give a fuck

'Cause I can't be myself when I'm with anyone
And maybe, I'm already gone


Overall Meaning

In "Hurricane," I Prevail paints a picture of a person who's struggling with self-worth and trying to find their place in the world. The first stanza starts with the person asking to be told they were never good enough and to be reminded of the demons they've been running from. They then ask to be reminded of who they were in someone else's mind or to blame it on the person they've become. This suggests that the person is going through an identity crisis and is unsure of who they are.


The chorus talks about how the person feels overwhelmed by all the voices around them. They feel like they're drowning in other people's opinions and that they can't be themselves around anyone. They also talk about how they feel like they'll never be the same again, suggesting that they've gone through some sort of traumatic experience that's left them feeling broken.


The second verse starts with the person asking to be told they're lost inside their mind and to be reminded that they've been searching for something they won't find. They then ask to be told they were never worth anyone's time or to blame it on the person they left behind. This suggests that the person is trying to come to terms with their past and their relationships with others.


The bridge offers some hope by saying that even in the face of adversity, the person should look into the singer's eyes and believe that the storm is coming. This suggests that there's a light at the end of the tunnel and that the person can overcome their struggles if they believe in themselves.

Look into my eyes
Gaze into my eyes


Believe me that the storm is coming
Trust me that a tumult is approaching


It's coming down, down, down
It's going to fall apart and descend rapidly


Believe me that the storm is coming down
Trust me that the chaos is descending
