From the recording The Storm
This song is about a girl who is in a relationship and is experiencing issues and she is concerned that she is being used by the boy, who still appears to be involved with a previous partner that he had supposedly broken up with. The girl is lacking support but wants to stand up for herself and take control of the situation she finds herself in.
The song features vocals from the superbly talented London (aka London Lawhon), who brings to the song powerful and captivating vocals that are wonderfully layered. The song has a modern pop rock feel with a nod to artists like Pink and Kelly Clarkson.
Lyrics
EYE OF THE STORM by Collo
VERSE 1
I look around and I am all alone
My protectors have all disappeared
The rain has drenched me to my very core
This is the situation I had feared
CHORUS 1
I am standing here in the eye of the storm
Not knowing if I’m a player, or if I’m just a pawn
VERSE 2
The lightning arcs across the pitch-dark sky
Highlights my tears that blend in with the rain
I shiver but is it from fear or cold?
I really hate that I am here again
CHORUS 2
I am standing here in the eye of the storm
Not knowing if I’m a player, or if I’m just a pawn
VERSE 3
You told me that you’d moved on from her
When you said it you seemed so sincere
Why were you embracing her in the shadows?
Now I wonder what I’m doing here
CHORUS 3
I am standing here in the eye of the storm
Not knowing if I’m a player, or if I’m just a pawn
BRIDGE
Oh I feel so numb
I feel like such a fool
Oh I feel so numb
I feel like such a fool
I have to come and take control
And I will be the one to make the rules
OUTRO
I am standing here in the eye of the storm
Not knowing if I’m a player, or if I’m just a pawn (....just a pawn)
