Tsunami
Ricky Manning Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Say what you want but I've given my heart for our luck
But something comes over and closer from inside your love
No matter how guarded up you will always be enough
You will be my tsunami
To come here and end my world
You′re always my hurricane
If I let you close it'll only go faster
A supernatural disaster
Both of us know what honesty's after
A supernatural disaster
I throw myself into a ship that I know′s going down
I′ll throw out the weight of the safety that's holding us now
Ooh I′ll dance with the hands of the hours that keep running out
Oh we'll swim til we′re too far out to turn around
We won't be found, oh no
You will be my tsunami
To come here and end my world
You′re always my hurricane
Come here my perfect storm
If I let you close it'll only go faster
A supernatural disaster
Both of us know what honesty's after
A supernatural disaster
The song "Tsunami" by Ricky Manning is a powerful and emotional ballad that speaks about the intensity of love and the dangers it can bring. The first verse expresses the singer's devotion to his lover, despite any criticisms or doubts others may have. He acknowledges that his heart has been given fully to this person, and that something inside their love brings them closer together. He recognizes that no matter how guarded his lover may be, they will always be enough for him.
The chorus of the song uses natural disasters as a metaphor for the singer's relationship with his lover. He describes his lover as a tsunami, capable of coming in and ending his world, but also as a perfect storm, a hurricane that he can't resist. The singer knows that if he allows himself to get too close to his lover, their relationship will become a supernatural disaster, a force that cannot be stopped or controlled. However, he also acknowledges that both of them understand the importance of honesty in their relationship, and that honesty is what they are truly after.
In the second verse, the singer takes a more fatalistic approach to his relationship. He compares it to a sinking ship, and he is willing to throw off the safety that is holding them up. He is willing to take risks and live in the moment with his lover, even though he realizes that time is running out. He wants to dive into their love and never come back.
Overall, "Tsunami" is a song about the intensity and unpredictability of love. The singer knows that his love for his partner is a force to be reckoned with, capable of both great destruction and great beauty. He is willing to take risks and live in the moment with this person, even though he knows that it could lead to a supernatural disaster.
