Stormy Weather
Tinashe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Speeding, faster, cross the border
Every moment getting older
Hotter, colder, change the temperature
Waitin' for some stormy weather

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Switch up, everyday, every evening
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Fuck it, gotta go with the feeling
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Keep on flipping
Backwards and forwards on ya
I don't apologize
Just my instincts
Hope that you feel me, seems like
You a nice guy, oh
Circle meets the line, I fly
There is no way
There is no why
There is just time

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Switch up, everyday, every evening
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Fuck it, gotta go with the feeling
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Oh baby
Stormy weather
I'll keep you warm

(Speeding, faster, cross the border
Getting older
Hotter, colder)
I hear a storm coming
Waitin' for some stormy weather (I can it)

Speeding, faster, cross the border
Every moment getting older
Hotter, colder, change the temperature
Waitin' for some stormy weather

Overall Meaning

"Stormy Weather" by Tinashe incorporates vivid metaphors to capture the confusion and unpredictability that arise in relationships. The lyrics express a feeling of moving too fast and not fully understanding the dynamics between two people. The opening lines of the chorus, "Speeding, faster, cross the border/Every moment getting older/Hotter, colder, change the temperature/Waitin' for some stormy weather," reveal the feeling of taking risks and not fully understanding how the future will unfold. The repeated "oohs" emphasize a sense of tension and anticipation throughout the song.


The second verse adds to this confusion, with Tinashe featuring lines such as "Keep on flipping/Backwards and forwards on ya" and "Circle meets the line, I fly." These lyrics suggest a push-and-pull dynamic that commonly arises in relationships. Despite the constant movement, Tinashe does not apologize for her instincts, implying that it is necessary to follow her intuition, even if it leads to unpredictable outcomes.


At the end of the song, the lyrics "Oh baby/Stormy weather/I'll keep you warm" suggest that despite the misunderstandings and risks taken in the relationship, Tinashe is willing to persevere through the storm with her partner.

The way she ATE THIS visual up

@robbinhatchett4179

She's getting back in her dark, moody creative bag again!! Reminds me of Reverie and Black Water all in one video!!

@lucasmartini1192

Wow this is the type of alternative artistry RCA tried to tame. This video is amazing, loving the videos for the songs for you era

@angelofscorpio

Yessss

@jasongolditch9519

Exactly! Tinashe is one of the most unique and dynamic artists in the industry. She has been horribly managed and marketed. This album is fantastic! I hope we will see continue to see more albums like this from Tinashe!

@ELCNUmorFnaMehT

RCA need to go suck their mother. The way they did the dirty on Tinashe is unforgivable.

@JakeStainbackMusic

This isn’t just a music video. This is quite literally a contemporary dance you’d see in a repertory concert at Lincoln Center. Tinashe DID THAT.

@vicsolimo

She's a trained dancer

@hahaherby

Is having actual talent not a thing anymore- this woman deserves so much more support

@musiclover_kb4913

Sadly, having legit talent is on the lower end of priorities
