You And Not Tokio
Marquess Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You are on my mind, like never before
Seem away how you fit my heart
That I can't feel you before I've start.
To see in the spotlight and I miss you and not Tokio
And if I was younger I would cry
I seek for a good life but I think of you and not California
But tears are running dry…
Te hecho de menos mi corazón dónde estás
Me puedes prometer que no me olvidaras
Mi vida está completamente
Si tu regresaras cuanto han que es.
To see in the spotlight and I miss you and not Tokio
And if I was younger I would cry
I seek for a good life but I think of you and not California
And if I was younger I would cry
But tears are running dry…
I don't know how you do
How you can
How you're there
You're obsessing my head
I don't know where you are
It's too far
Anyway you're obsessing my day
And I wish you were here, I wish you were here, and I wish you were here
I don't know how you do
How you can
How you're there
You're obsessing my head.
To see in the spotlight and I miss you and not Tokio
And if I was younger I would cry
I seek for a good life but I think of you and not California
And if I was younger I would cry
And if I was younger I would cry
The lyrics of Marquess's song "You And Not Tokio" convey a sense of longing and obsession for a person who is on the singer's mind constantly. The first verse indicates that the singer is about to move to another floor or location, but cannot stop thinking about this person who has captured their heart. The second verse is in Spanish, and roughly translates to the singer missing this person deeply and asking if they will promise not to forget them. The chorus repeats the idea that the singer is missing this person intensely, and would cry if they were younger, but now tears are running dry.
The bridge of the song highlights the singer's confusion about how this person can be so present in their mind, even though they don't know where they are or how they have this power. The final chorus ends with the same sentiment as before, that the singer is missing this person greatly and would cry if they were younger.
Overall, the lyrics of "You And Not Tokio" capture the feeling of being consumed by thoughts of someone who is not physically present, and the longing for their return or presence in the singer's life.
