Tornado
Tiësto & Steve Aoki Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don′t ring my doorbell cause I'm not around
Don′t push the alarm, I'm already gone
Don't send me no text cause I′m checking out.
If you want to find to find to find me to find me
Follow the crowd
Follow the crowd
Follow the crowddddd
Follow the crowd
Follow the crowd
Follow the crowddddd
We′re caught in the tornado
And it's to late to run x3
It′s too late
Follow the crowwwd
It's too late to run
Weak all I want to cover my eyes
And go with the flow
And swim with the tide
I should just go home
But I′ll stick around
Follow the crowd
Follow the crowd
Follow the crowddddd
Follow the crowd
Follow the crowd
Follow the crowddddd
It's too late to run
And it′s too late to run
And it's too late to run




And it's too late to run
To run, to run.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Tiesto and Steve Aoki's "Tornado" are quite vivid and emotive, as they appear to be about the chaos and confusion that comes with being caught in the midst of a storm, both physically and mentally. The opening lines effectively convey a sense of detachment and distance, as the singer explains that they are not available and cannot be reached, either by ringing the doorbell, setting off alarms or sending text messages. Instead, they advise the listener to follow the crowd, suggesting that they are just one of many people trying to escape the storm.


The refrain, "We're caught in the tornado, and it's too late to run" reinforces the idea that the singer and the listener are trapped and powerless, with no real hope of escape. However, they seem resigned to their fate and almost willing to give into the destructive forces around them, as evidenced by the line "weak all I want to cover my eyes and go with the flow, and swim with the tide." Despite feeling overwhelmed and lost, the singer still decides to stick around and follow the crowd until the bitter end.


Overall, "Tornado" is a powerful song that captures the sense of helplessness and resignation that often accompanies difficult situations. The lyrics suggest that sometimes, the only option is to ride out the storm and hope for the best, rather than trying to fight against the forces that are beyond our control.
