As the Rush Comes
Tiësto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I don't care
(Embrace me surround me)
Traveling somewhere
Could be anywhere
There's a coldness in the air
But I don't care
Life goes on
We drift deeper
Into the sound
(Embrace me surround me as the rush )
Traveling somewhere
Could be anywhere
There's a coldness in the air
Yeah but I don't care
We drift deeper into the song
Life goes on
We drift deeper into the sound
Feeling strong
So bring it on so bring it on
We drift deeper into the song
Life goes on
We drift deeper into the sound
Feeling strong
So bring it on so bring it on
We drift deeper
We drift deeper life goes on
We drift deeper drift deeper
We drift deeper into the song
Life goes on
We drift deeper into the sound
Feeling strong
So bring it on so bring it on
We drift deeper into the song
Life goes on
We drift deeper into the sound
Feeling strong
So bring it on so bring it on
Embrace me surround me
[Repeat: x8]
As the rush comes
As the rush comes
As the rush comes
As the rush comes
The lyrics of Tiësto's song As the Rush Comes are about losing oneself in the music and embracing the feeling of being surrounded by the sound. The coldness in the air is a metaphor for the detachment and alienation that people can sometimes feel in their daily lives, but when they let go and allow themselves to immerse in the music, they can experience a sense of connection and freedom. The repetition of the phrase "We drift deeper into the song" and "We drift deeper into the sound" emphasizes the idea of letting go and surrendering to the music. The final repetition of "As the rush comes" represents the climax of this experience, where the music becomes overwhelming and all-encompassing.
The lyrics of As the Rush Comes are deliberately vague and abstract, allowing listeners to interpret the song in their own way. Some listeners may interpret the song as a celebration of the transformative power of music, while others may interpret it as a commentary on the nature of escapism.
Line by Line Meaning
There's a coldness in the air
The atmosphere is frigid
But I don't care
I am indifferent to the weather
(Embrace me surround me)
I crave intimacy and warmth
Traveling somewhere
I am on the move
Could be anywhere
I have no specific destination in mind
We drift deeper
We become more immersed
Life goes on
Time progresses despite our actions
Into the sound
Our hearing becomes consumed by the music
(Embrace me surround me as the rush)
I desire to be held closely as the adrenaline kicks in
Yeah but I don't care
The coldness is irrelevant to my current state
Feeling strong
I am empowered
So bring it on so bring it on
Let the music flow
We drift deeper into the song
Our concentration is fully on the music
We drift deeper into the sound
Sensory stimulation increases
[Repeat: x8] As the rush comes
The waves of energy continue to build up

My dad really loved trance and we would always drive down the highway listening to tiesto or some type of trance and I was so happy. It was like this crazy experience to have this pumping through the speakers with all the windows down and me and my dad smiling and nodding our heads backing and fourth. Some of the happiest memories I have he’s gone now but I will always remember him and what a great guy he was, love you dad forever in my heart ❤️
@PaddyNinja
I'll pray for him. Perhaps when I leave to take the heavenly road he will intercede for me too. Padre Pio asked Jesus "are my parents in Heaven?" Jesus relied "yes, but keep praying for them, it's the prayers you're going to say that got them there". Your dad had an ear for good tunes 😊 May the perpetual light shine upon Him.

I honestly want to re-live the 00's, no modern day music compares to this. It use to sound amazing in nightclubs.
