Tornadoland Lyrics

It's so much easier than you think, you try so hard
And every time you get it wrong, you get it right
You get it wrong but you get it right
You get it right

The mind runs fast
Your thoughts are louder than your words
And every time you turn around
It starts to hurt, hurt, it starts to hurt
But you wanna be heard, wanna be heard, wanna be

Louder than the storms around
You hear them through the windows and the doors
Everybody's time has come
It’s everybody's moment, except yours

Before the light goes out
Why don’t you close your eyes
And all the monsters in your mind just wanna be nice
They wanna be kind, they wanna play nice, they wanna be

Softer than the storms around
You feel them through the windows and the doors
Everybody's time has come
It’s everybody's moment, except yours

Everybody moment, everybody moment
Everybody moment except yours, 'cept yours
Everybody moment, everybody moment
Everybody moment, except yours, 'cept yours

Cover art for Tornadoland lyrics by Regina Spektor

I think this song references someone with severe anxiety or something similar having a "breakdown". The term "tornado" is most likely used to represent their feelings during this emotional state - it's not something you can easily escape, you feel almost like you "have" to endure it. "The mind runs fast/Your thoughts are louder than your words" represent, in my opinion, how someone is overthinking things, to the point where it just becomes worse and worse, exactly as the song becomes harsher and harsher.

That's what I took away from it, anyway :)
