Dealing with insecurity and self-doubt can really feel like a creature is torturing you. You can’t get a grip on your thoughts, and it feels like someone else is feeding them to you. Lines like “soon as I am still, it starts without a warning” and “relentless, berating, persistently hating” are just a few examples of the raw lyricism in this song, laying out the ugly emotions that come with feeling unworthy. The narrator sings directly to his doubts, mournfully belting “you won’t let go” to open the chaotic and satisfying arrangement of the chorus.
The production of the song mirrors the title, creating an unpredictable and tense atmosphere just like a cyclone. This, along with the fervent vocal delivery, ensures that you feel all of the pain of the narrator right along with him. This track offers a place of catharsis for you to sing along, to feel and name your doubt in hopes of calming it. The guitar solo that comes in towards the end of the song brings a lighter tone to the song, letting the listener settle in as if finally reaching the eye of the storm.
