Tsunami
Borgeous/DVBBS/Tinie Tempah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stuck in a daze I feel like I'm riding a wave
My life is a roller coaster inside of a maze (woo)
I hope it's a phase, spending away more than I save
I don't know if I'm acting my age any more, man
I need to break out of this cage
My life is a roller coaster inside of a maze (yeah)
I hope it's a phase, (I hope it's) I hope it's a phase (I hope it's a phase)
I feel like I'm riding a wave
Tsunami, jump
Let's go
Chick, chick, jump
Jump
Get on my level
You're killing my vibe and to get on my level
Time to be special
I'd be loving the rush of the blood in my vessels
I feel like a rebel
I got silver and gold I don't need me a medal
One for the night and I don't want to settle
Driving the bus with my foot on the pedal
Stuck in a daze I feel like I'm riding a wave
My life is a roller coaster inside of a maze (yeah)
I hope it's a phase, spending away more than I save
I don't know if I'm acting my age any more man, I need to break out of this cage
Tsunami, jump
Let's go
Chick, chick, jump
Get on my level, you're killing my vibe and to get on my level
I feel like a rebel, I feel like a, I feel like a, I feel like a rebel
Stuck in a daze I feel like I'm riding a wave
My life is a roller coaster inside of a maze (yes)
I hope it's a phase, (I hope it's) I hope it's a phase (I hope it's a phase)
I feel like I'm riding a wave
Tsunami, yeah
The lyrics to "Tsunami" by Borgeous, DVBBS, and Tinie Tempah are about feeling stuck in a daze, like riding a wave or being on a roller coaster in a maze. The verses explore feelings of uncertainty and confusion, with the singer unsure if they're acting their age or if their spending habits are sustainable. The chorus features the repeated exclamation, "Tsunami, jump!" which seems to be a call to action - a desire to break out of the monotony of daily life and take risks.
The song's lyrics can be interpreted as a representation of the human desire for adventure and excitement. The chorus's repeated call to "jump" and "get on my level" could be seen as a yearning for something greater than the day-to-day grind. The bridge features the lyrics "I feel like a rebel, I got silver and gold I don't need me a medal, one for the night and I don't want to settle," which seems to imply that the singer values a life of unpredictability and spontaneity over a traditional, routinized existence.

While the original is great, collaboration is about exploration. And in this context, Tini has brought a different narrative.
Both are great in their own right. Brilliant.
