Cross-fire Hurricanes
The powerful and unpredictable nature of hurricanes mirrors the intensity and turbulence of human emotions. A hurricane can leave a trail of destruction in its wake, and emotions can also leave a lasting impact on individuals. Musicians use the imagery and symbolism of hurricanes to put wind beneath the wings of lyrics. The roaring winds, crashing waves, and torrential rain that arrive with hurricanes are symbols of the highs and lows, the chaos and intensity, that emotions can bring.
