Tsunami
DVBBS & Borgeous/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 of Tsunami by DVBBS & Borgeous talks about feeling lost, confused, and stuck in a cycle. The first two lines "Stuck in a daze, I feel like I'm riding a wave" can be interpreted as being caught up in the ups and downs of life, feeling like you have no control over your own path. The line "My life is a roller coaster inside of a maze" further emphasizes this feeling of not knowing where life is taking you. The following lines show the artist acknowledging their own reckless behavior, "Spending away more than I save," and feeling like they are not living up to their own potential, "I don't know if I'm acting my age anymore, man, I need to break out of this cage."
The chorus, "Tsunami, jump," can be interpreted as a metaphor for taking control and breaking free from the cycle. A tsunami is a powerful force that can cause destruction, but it can also sweep away the old and create something new. The call to "jump" can be interpreted as taking a leap of faith and breaking free from the old patterns that are holding you back.
The lyrics continue with the artist wanting others to join them on this journey of self-discovery and growth, "Get on my level, you're killing my vibe and to get on my level, time to be special." The artist is recognizing that others may be bringing them down and that it is time to surround themselves with people who support their growth. The ending of the song repeats the chorus with a sense of urgency, "Tsunami, jump," emphasizing the importance of breaking free and taking control of one's life.

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.
