Tokio
Alaska Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pero yo sé que no,
Tú me dijiste que no
Pero yo sé que sí,
Tú ya no estás en Tokyo,
Volando en dirección,
Volando en dirección
Tú me dijiste adiós
Y yo te digo hola,
Tú ya no estás en Tokyo,
Alaska's song Tokio delves into the complexity of human relationships and the uncertainties that come with them. The song begins with the lines "Tú me dijiste que sí/Pero yo sé que no" (You said yes to me/But I know it was no), emphasizing the disconnect between words and actual intentions. The singer knows deep down that the person she is speaking to does not really mean what they say.
Similarly, the lines "Tú me dijiste que no/Pero yo sé que sí" (You said no to me/But I know it was yes) highlight the confusion that comes with mixed signals, making it difficult to understand the person's true feelings. The chorus repeats the haunting line "Tú ya no estás en Tokyo" (You're no longer in Tokyo), signifying that the person is physically absent and perhaps unreachable.
Despite this, there is a desire to reconnect, maybe through travel, as expressed in the lines "Tú quieres ir en avión/Volando en dirección" (You want to fly in a plane/Flying in a specific direction). Finally, the song captures the pain of a goodbye, as the singer acknowledges that the other person has left but still greets them with "hola" (hello), implying a hope to reunite.
