The Books Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It has been a great pleasure to have you aboard Japan Airlines
We hope you have enjoy the flight
And that we may have another opportunity to serve you in the very near future
Please make sure that you leave nothing behind when you leave plane
Thank you very much, and for now, sayonara
The Books's song Tokyo opens with an announcement of Japan Airlines thanking the passengers for flying with them and hoping they enjoyed their flight. This announcement sets the mood for the whole song as a nostalgic tribute to Tokyo, Japan. The song could be interpreted as a love letter to a city that has not only captured the hearts of many but also inspired the artist with its fast-paced environment and kaleidoscopic culture.
The slow tempo of the song with its scattered sounds is reminiscent of gazing out of an airplane window while leaving a beloved city behind. The Books's use of Japanese traditional music and recordings creates a serene backdrop to the lyrics, which could be seen as a stream of consciousness style poem by the artist. The lyrics express the fleeting moments that the singer spent in Tokyo, the dearly missed sights and sounds of the city, and the yearning to return.
Overall, Tokyo is a beautifully crafted piece that immerses the listener in the emotions of the artist and the magic of the city. The song is not just about Tokyo, but it is about the universal experience of falling in love with a place and preserving it in our memories.

I am lost in Limbo
In my dreams
I visit Hell from time to time
Before Mud, Punker Simon Gravity, raver genius Arthur or Tom come back
Your next video will be a book reference
And if this conversation were on 4chan, gone in a flash, we'd have our secret code worked out, blunk
So that's how the Jokers Larry 1=2 while Matches Maroney Vans, newFragglz
This blunk geezer speakers Right This Second is a great tune in our sxo sxo SignS language Lopezing to Andy
This Lopez lingo Larry's the Hamsterian ceremony between Smith and Starrynight the Hamster Spell IP Freely if blunx like Greg + Monika former tune note

The space + letter code is now a solvable IQ test question that can easily be worked into a Macro in a Word doc to distribute novels, programs, videos, anything that can be put into a compiler
But to Joker or Deadpool a blunk Larry just writes it on a napkin in front of Matches at Cheers.
