30 Seconds To Mars - Hurricane Lyrics

Artist: 30 Seconds To Mars

Album: This Is War

Genre: Rock

  • Songwriters: Jared Leto

No matter how many times that you told me
You wanted to leave
No matter how many breaths that you took
You still couldn't breathe

No matter how many nights that you lie wide awake
To the sound of the pulsing rain
Where did you go? Where did you go?
Where did you go?

As days go by, the night's on fire

Tell me would you kill to save a life?
Tell me would you kill to prove you're right?
Crash, crash, burn, let it all burn
This hurricane's chasing us all underground

No matter how many deaths that I die
I will never forget
No matter how many lies that I live
I will never regret

There is a fire inside that has started a riot
About to explode into flames
Where is your God? Where is your God?
Where is your God?

Do you really want?
Do you really want me?
Do you really want me dead or alive
To torture for my sins?

Do you really want?
Do you really want me?
Do you really want me dead
Or alive to live alone?

Tell me would you kill to save a life?
Tell me would you kill to prove you're right?
Crash, crash, burn, let it all burn
This hurricane's chasing us all underground

The promises we made
Were not enough
The prayers that we have prayed
Were like a joke

The secrets that we swore
We'll never know
The love we had, the love we had
We had to let it go

Tell me would you kill to save a life?
Tell me would you kill to prove you're right?
Crash, crash, burn, let it all burn
This hurricane chasing us all underground

This hurricane
This hurricane
This hurricane

Do you really want?
Do you really want me?
Do you really want me dead or alive
To torture for my sins?

Do you really want?
Do you really want me?
Do you really want me dead or alive
To live alone?

    I love this song. Not sure if it's my favourite. It's a toss-up.
    between this and Night of the Hunter...

    I agree with the third comment
    I'm a Muslim and proud of it
    But I will admit that I'm still searching my true self
    Every one is
    I always ask god why did I do that after making a sin
    Or asking him what I did to deserve this?

    And everynight before I go to bad I always think
    If god knows what happens in the future ...how he knows who will be a sinner and who is not why is there heaven and hell?

    It is said that god creates and or controls peoples action
    Why? Why hell? Why not hope and faith and forgiveness

    It is also said that god forgives all except the ones who believes that there are other gods than him.

    I love this it's soo deep and so beautiful
    How can someone explain our thoughts and minds in a 6minuts song?

    Jared has the most amazing lyrics this is why I love 30 seconds to mars

    And no this song is not about love .....it never has

    I think this song is about the Leto boys secretly being homosexuals and they can't tell anyone! So they hide everything, their secrets, their passions, their sins and they are trying to hide from GOD since the Bible says being a homosexual is an abomination against GOD.

    this song isn&#039t about a relationship. it&#039s way, way deeper than that. it&#039s about Religion, faith and war. He talks to God in the song- &#039do you really want me dead, or alive to live a lie&#039 - that whole section is him talking to god and when he doesn&#039t get an answer he asks - &#039Where is your God&#039 - the bit where he says - "tell me would you kill to save a life?" = he is saying killing is a sin.

    "tell me would you kill to prove you&#039re right" = but it&#039s not if you are killing for your religion

    "crash, crash, burn" = suicide bombers believe they are killing to please their god. This could also represent 9/11 and the buildings falling?

    "no matter how many lives that I live, I will never forget" = reincarnation

    "this hurricane is chasing us all underground" = this means that all this fued between religion is causing people to die, whether it&#039s suicide bomers, or innocent civilians.

    This song basically shows ho hypocritical religion is and how we need to lern to get along. He is reaching out to God to help him understand how God can make bad things happen. well that&#039s what i think anyway.

    Okay, why is that everybody interprets this as a love song? Can't a song be about something OTHER than relationships and love and break up and whatnot? There are other, bigger things in the world than that -.-

  • Anonymous

    I agree with all of you, the song is very beautiful..and you know, i think that Jared is very good philosopher and his lyrics proves it..

  • suey

    This may be way off base but I think this song is maybe about a guy who is in love with a girl who has another man. She says she wants to leave but never does. So he's asking her, would you kill that relationship to save yourself, to be happy? What do you think, sound right???

    I agree this is how i interpret it, my life, but i left in the end for the guy that makes me happy, because I really did want him....

    i always loved this song.
    and now that someone told me that a pretty good friend is in love with me i dont know what to think and this song makes me sad.
    whatever i love listening to it. even if everything around changes music will always be there to tell a story you may relate to.

    What I get out of the song is that it is about a couple with a relationship on the edge. The man is on edge cause everything he does is judged my his partner. The word kill is the crushing of the heart. Crash Crash burn is the fighting. Hurricane chasing then underground is them bottling up anger so they don"t fight because he really loves her. No matter how many death that I live. amount of fight. No matter how many lives that I live, back together. The secrets that we sold were never know is what he is afraid to tell his partner. Do you want me dead or alive to torture for my sins. She make him defend himself all the time. This song is what I get out of it. My wife listened to it one night and I told her this is us. explained the lyrics they way I read the song. Very strong and emotional song for her now. Very powerful. If your relationship is on thin ice. listen very closely. Thank you.

    I love it! I've got their new CD This Is WAR and I can't go through a freakin' day without listening to it! It's an amazement that so many South-Africans don't know about them. It's just all emo-South-Africans that knows and lives to listen to it... YES, I'm a little emo and YES, I am a proud South-African teen.

    If anyone has read the House of Night series, I interpret this song based on what Zoey and her friends go through. This is the lovely part about music and lyrics you can interpret them how ever you'd like. This song and Kings and Queens give a lot of meaning to that series for me.

    I don't have the same lyrics.... I would love to hear what this version sounds like!

    For those of you who are wondering/confused, these lyrics are posted are for the version featuring Kanye West. Either way, the song is freaking fantastic. Look up the version featuring Kanye, it's pretty good.

    My lyrics are also different, the last verse. I must find this other version.
