It is a metaphor

what does " You are the thunder and i am the lighting mean?

  

Top answer

I'm not sure that it's a fixed expression. I suppose it refers to the fact that lightning is the quick, silent cause, and thunder is the slow, noisy effect. It could simply suggest a difference in two personalities; or it could mean that I strike quickly, causing you to react violently.
