Tokyo
GOST & Motion Static Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lets set the scene
Lets add the smoke
And ecstasy
Girls with nothing on
To turn you on
You pay the price and it's on
Flying past a mountain
Drinking dry our shrinking youth fountain
Diving in the smoke
With cigarettes, alcohol and free coke

When I'm in Tokyo
A narcotic dream from down below
When I'm in Tokyo
I sweep the streets like lines don't you know
When I fall asleep
I dream a dream, I'm falling deep
Under the spell I am
In Tokyo, in Tokyo

Under enemy lines
I'm trying to survive
It's not my time (to go)
On these city streets
That pave the quiet misery (underneath)
Narcotic ties and
Lullabies won't get you out
Of its teeth
Hypnotic lights
And bedtime frights will edge away
From you heat

When I'm in Tokyo
A narcotic dream from down below
When I'm in Tokyo
I sweep the streets like lines don't you know
When I fall asleep
I dream a dream. I falling deep




Under the spell I am
In Tokyo, in Tokyo

Line by Line Meaning

Lets set the scene
We'll create the atmosphere


Lets add the smoke
We'll make it hazy


And ecstasy
And a feeling of euphoria


Girls with nothing on
Barely dressed women


To turn you on
To arouse your desires


You pay the price and it's on
You'll spend money for this experience


Flying past a mountain
Rapidly moving by a natural landmark


Drinking dry our shrinking youth fountain
Consuming our youth before it's gone


Diving in the smoke
Immersing ourselves in the haziness


With cigarettes, alcohol and free coke
Indulging in vices


When I'm in Tokyo
In the city of Tokyo


A narcotic dream from down below
An intoxicating and mesmerizing experience


I sweep the streets like lines don't you know
I feel powerful and unstoppable


When I fall asleep
As I drift off


I dream a dream, I'm falling deep
I experience a vivid dream


Under the spell I am
Under the influence


In Tokyo, in Tokyo
In the city of Tokyo


Under enemy lines
In a dangerous situation


I'm trying to survive
I'm struggling to stay alive


It's not my time (to go)
I still have things to do in life


On these city streets
On the streets of the city


That pave the quiet misery (underneath)
That mask the underlying sadness


Narcotic ties and
Addictive influences


Lullabies won't get you out
Comfort won't help you escape


Of its teeth
Of the city's grasp


Hypnotic lights
Mesmerizing and captivating illumination


And bedtime frights will edge away
And fears will gradually fade


From you heat
From your mind
