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 in Dvbbs & Borgeous Ft. Tinie Tempah's song Tsunami seem to convey a sense of feeling lost and stuck in life, like one is on a roller coaster ride without control. The metaphor of a wave is used to describe this feeling, which is both exhilarating and scary. The uncertainty of the future is also implied, and the hope that this is just a passing phase, that things will get better soon. The desire to break out of a cage and to rebel against the norm also comes through in the lyrics.
The chorus, "Tsunami, jump," seems to be a call-to-action, a reminder to live life to the fullest and take risks. It could also be interpreted as a warning, that if one doesn't act, life can come crashing down like a tsunami.
Overall, the lyrics of Tsunami paint a picture of a person who is struggling to find their way in life and is seeking to break free from the constraints that hold them back.

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.
