Toto
Kanno Yoko (feat. Sakamoto Maaya) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's something you can't let go
Living in your world ? pretend
It's just so funny how you lie
It's time you break free from your past
And touch the truth you hide so well
Then maybe you'll stop yourself
From making the same mistake twice
Can you hear me?
If you try hard enough
Then maybe you'll rise above
The black and white lies that you tell you
It's time to turn and face yourself
If you turn fast enough
Then maybe you'll catch yourself
And try to see things as they are
Open your eyes
If you look long enough
Then maybe you'll see enough
To change the way you have become
Stop pretending
If you run fast enough
Then maybe you'll stop yourself
From making the same mistakes again
Please believe me
If you try hard enough
Then maybe you'll rise above
The black and white lies that you tell
Can you hear me?
The lyrics of "Toto" by KANNO YOKO feat. SAKAMOTO MAAYA depict a person who seems to be living in denial and putting up a facade in front of others. The first few lines talk about the person's inability to see what's really happening around them and how they are holding onto something that they need to let go of. The reference to living in their own world and pretending suggests that the person is not showing their true self to the world.
The next part of the song suggests that the person needs to break free from their past and face the truth that they have been hiding so well. The lines "If you run fast enough, then maybe you'll stop yourself from making the same mistake twice" and "If you try hard enough, then maybe you'll rise above the black and white lies that you tell yourself" show that the person needs to make a conscious effort to change their ways and not repeat their mistakes.
The chorus of the song reinforces the idea that the person needs to stop pretending and confront their true self. The lyrics "It's time to turn and face yourself" and "If you turn fast enough, then maybe you'll catch yourself and try to see things as they are" convey this message. Overall, the song encourages the listener to be true to themselves and not hide behind a mask.
Line by Line Meaning
It's funny you don't see
It's ironic how you don't understand
It's something you can't let go
It's an issue you can't move beyond
Living in your world ? pretend
You live in a fabricated reality
It's just so funny how you lie
It's amusing how you deceive
It's time you break free from your past
It's time to liberate yourself from history
And touch the truth you hide so well
Reveal the obscured veracity inside you
If you run fast enough
If you move with speed
Then maybe you'll stop yourself
Perhaps you'll prevent yourself
From making the same mistake twice
From duplicating the same error
Can you hear me?
Are you listening to me?
If you try hard enough
If you put in enough effort
Then maybe you'll rise above
Then possibly you'll transcend
The black and white lies that you tell you
The falsehoods you tell yourself in absolutes
It's time to turn and face yourself
It's now time to confront yourself
If you turn fast enough
If you rotate promptly enough
Then maybe you'll catch yourself
Then perhaps you'll realize
And try to see things as they are
And endeavor to see the truth
Open your eyes
Become aware
If you look long enough
If you gaze for an extended period
Then maybe you'll see enough
Then possibly you'll see sufficient
To change the way you have become
To transform who you have become
Stop pretending
Cease pretending
From making the same mistakes again
From committing the same errors again
Please believe me
Kindly trust me
Can you hear me?
Are you listening to me?

It's funny you don't see
It's something you can't let go
Living in your world...pretend
It's just so funny how you lie
It's time you break free from your past
And touch the truth you hide so well
If you run fast enough
Then maybe you'll stop yourself
From making the same mistake twice
Can you hear me?
If you try hard enough
Then maybe you'll rise above
The black and white lies that you tell you
It's time to turn and face yourself
If you turn fast enough
Then maybe you'll catch yourself
And try to see things as they are
Open your eyes
If you look long enough
Then maybe you'll see enough
To change the way you have become
Stop pretending
If you run fast enough
Then maybe you'll stop yourself
From making the same mistakes again
Please believe me
If you try hard enough
Then maybe you'll rise above
The black and white lies that you tell
Can you hear me?
