SONG MEANING

Annalisa’s “Tsunami” is a salty breath of freedom and recklessness. The singer is tired of standing safely on the shore; she wants to dive into life’s surf, crash, dissolve into foam, and risk losing pieces of herself in the process. Every unsent text, every half-spoken phrase weighs on her like letters written on her back, waiting for a single wave to wash them away. The song turns summer into a turning point, asking if sunshine can really change us, if we become brighter or darker when storms roll in.

Love and self-discovery swirl together like currents in a restless sea. Annalisa frames the relationship as a force as powerful as a tsunami—one heartbeat can launch it, one heartbeat can destroy it. She dreams of ripping out another diary page, searching for her Africa, a metaphor for wild, uncharted happiness. Between playful questions (What will we eat tonight?) and raw confessions (You’re in the sentences I mess up), she reminds us that adventure beats caution every time. Whether tomorrow brings calm water or towering waves, she’s ready to fight with her lover’s gaze, come back with scratched hands, and prove that real love, real living, is never afraid to get pulled under before bursting back up as glittering foam.
