Tokyo Lyrics
- Lyrics
- Meaning
[Verse 1]
Way down deep underwater
Covered in ice, covered in ice
Told lies like my father, kept cold and now I pay the price
I can hear your laughter
Calling from above
Help me break this curse now, come to me love
[Chorus]
Shots ring out in the night
From the shadows on the streets of Tokyo
Found God in the midnight hour on my radio
Shots ring out in the night
From the shadows on the streets of Tokyo
Found God in the midnight hour on my radio
[Verse 2]
Twilight in the garden
Turned to stone, turned to stone
Eyes that soon will darken
Set loose and doomed to roam
Light leaks from the windows
People holding hands
Haunted by their footsteps
Do you know who I am?
[Chorus]
Shots ring out in the night
From the shadows on the streets of Tokyo
Found God in the midnight hour on my radio
Shots ring out in the night
From the shadows on the streets of Tokyo
Found God in the midnight hour on my radio
[Bridge]
Don't you want me?
Don't you need me?
Don't you, don't you want me?
[Chorus]
Shots ring out in the night
From the shadows on the streets of Tokyo
Found God in the midnight hour on my radio
Shots ring out in the night
From the shadows on the streets of Tokyo
Found God in the midnight hour on my radio
[Verse 1: Starbenders]
In this verse, the singer reflects on being "deep underwater," metaphorically expressing a feeling of being trapped or overwhelmed. The comparison to their father’s lies and the coldness suggests a generational cycle of emotional repression and the consequences that come with it. The singer longs for love to break a "curse," representing their desire for salvation from their emotional imprisonment.
[Chorus: Starbenders]
The chorus captures the chaotic energy of the night in Tokyo, with gunshots symbolizing danger or emotional upheaval. Amidst this chaos, the singer finds a sense of spiritual awakening or clarity through their radio in the "midnight hour." The contrast between the violence outside and the inner peace found through a personal connection suggests that meaning can be discovered even in dark, unpredictable times.
[Verse 2: Starbenders]
This verse introduces twilight imagery and a feeling of being turned to stone, symbolizing the singer’s emotional numbness. The darkening eyes and haunting footsteps emphasize the singer’s detachment from others. The question "Do you know who I am?" reflects an existential crisis, as they grapple with a sense of lost identity in a world that seems indifferent to their existence.
[Chorus: Starbenders]
The final chorus repeats the same imagery of gunshots and spiritual discovery, emphasizing the cyclical nature of the singer’s emotional experience. Despite the external chaos, they continue to seek solace and meaning in their solitary, introspective moments.
[Bridge: Starbenders]
The bridge conveys a desperate plea for validation and connection, as the singer repeatedly asks, "Don't you want me? Don't you need me?" This highlights their deep vulnerability and yearning for someone to acknowledge their worth, revealing the emotional core of the song.
[Chorus: Starbenders]
The final chorus repeats the same imagery of gunshots and spiritual discovery, emphasizing the cyclical nature of the singer’s emotional experience. Despite the external chaos, they continue to seek solace and meaning in their solitary, introspective moments.
