Tokyo
Headphone-Tokyo** Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Think this shit is laced,

I’m in outer space, yeah


Molly on her tongue

Think I’ll have a taste


Know I wantr it bad

I’m a psychopath


I’m a self proclaimed

Egomaniac


She’s a


Bad bitch

Demonic


I can’t fight it


For her, I’ll sin

Damn, I like it


Baptized in gin

And desire


Good girls go to heaven and

Bad bitches go to hell


Chorus


Sold my soul

For instamodels and their

High cheekbones

I find religion

When they lose their clothes

We always sin, never atone


(Ooh that shit was sacrilegious)


Sold my soul

Worship the devil then I take her home

I found salvation in a bag of blow

Powder white as the holy ghost


(Yeah, yeah, yeah x3)


Post Chorus


(Ooh that shit was sacrilegious)


Verse 2 (TOKYO’S REVENGE)


You wanna take control

Why did I take you home?

I want the baddest bitch

I mean the baddest bitch

I got a cake to blow


Call me aladdin

I’m so fly

It’s magic

Is this a genie or a ghost?

This Mcqueen up on my coat

My leather vegan like my hos


(hello)


Sold my soul

Is this a demon and a driver?


What’s that on your nose?

I can’t believe that shit is real, baby

I’m off some molly that made you glow


Chorus


Sold my soul

For instamodels and their

High cheekbones

I find religion

When they lose their clothes

We always sin, never atone


(Ooh that shit was sacrilegious)


Sold my soul

Worship the devil then I take her home

I found salvation in a bag of blow

Powder white as the holy ghost


(Yeah, yeah, yeah x3)


Post Chorus






(Ooh that shit was sacrilegious)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Tokyo" by Headphone-Tokyo are introspective and reflective of feeling betrayed by old friends who have become fake. The singer is high, hence the line "Fuck I'm way too baked", and is speaking about how Tokyo is a metaphor for feeling lost in life. The line "Chokin' by the chain" is a reference to feeling trapped and suffocated, possibly by the expectations of others or society. The singer asserts that they will never speak to these old friends again and warns them to watch their mouth and lip, suggesting that any further words exchanged will only lead to negativity.


The lyrics then move on to discuss the singer's talent for rapping and their belief in the truth of their words. They don't have the technical skills to mix music, but their delivery is powerful, and they have bars that don't miss. The singer is confident in their ability and sees those who doubt them as in need of salvation or guidance. The line "I feel like the people be all needin' Jesus" suggests that their music could provide that guidance.


The song takes a turn toward the end as the singer realizes how fast time is passing by and how they have had to sacrifice a lot to chase their dreams. They question whether it is worth it but decide to continue chasing the bag and working hard in the lab. Ultimately, despite all the struggles and hardships, they can say that they lived a life always feeling like they were winning.

I have compromised my values and beliefs for the sake of shallow and superficial ideals, such as those promoted by models on social media. I am prone to sin and never seek redemption. I am willing to indulge in drugs and recklessness to find a sense of fulfillment


Verse 2 (TOKYO’S REVENGE) You wanna take control Why did I take you home?
The girl has a strong and dominant personality that makes me feel powerless in her presence. I'm questioning why I invited her to my home.

I am terrified of the girl's intense energy and behavior, and I'm bewildered by her appearance. I'm struggling with what is real versus what is not. I am under the influence of Molly, which is causing my perceptions to be distorted

ボカロってすごい有名な曲ばっかで「ARIA」って曲が好き!って言っても、「なにそれ?」って返されてその人に勧めると
「最高だった」って返ってくるのがすごく好き。

この曲のメロディーと歌詞の世界観がとても好きです。

伊賀美零弥

我々のように懐古厨じゃないと知らない曲もありますもんね。僕も10年~13年の曲が好きなので、同級生と話しが合いません(ボカロリスナー歴2年)

One decade ago my journey to Vocaloid started from this video on Niconico. Ya still amazing.

ふらっと最近のボカロ曲を耳にしたりするともちろんお気に入りは増えてくんだけど、これが未だに一番好き

Артем Лобачев

My favorite music. I met Vocaloid at the age of 6. It's been 13 years, I feel the time that was in my life. Now I'm 19, soon 20. I left the Russian Federation for Germany. I work in the German police. I'm listening in public service!

風景は未来って感じなのに、
懐かしさを覚える曲だな〜

Shark Blue

Deserved much more and more recognition, this song is Underrated so much: Even digging into abysmal shit.

D90

今日ほんとにふと、ふと思い出して(あの曲、ARIA…だっけ…?)と消えかけの記憶辿って久々に戻ってきました。10年振りぐらい?当時中学生、ボカロ全盛期だった時代。懐かしくてちょっと泣けてきそう。

Yamakyu

So far one of the best Vocaloid song =D !

蒼弐彩

このとてもヌルヌル動くpvで初めてボカロを知ったので他の曲で動画あまり動かないの知ってびっくりした記憶があります
知ってからもう8年近く経つけれど未だに聞きたくなる曲………最高に好きです……!
