Tornadoland Lyrics

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 :)
