DEADMANSWONDERLAND
TOKYO’S REVENGE Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, uh
Uh, look, ayy
Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy

Oh, you survived? How does it feel?
Caught with no wheels, floatin' around on these fuckin' rims
But I'm movin' still
Often I'm changin' like Optimus Prime, optimally
Optimistic, and I'm a product of my environment
Iron Man with the mother fuckin' metal on me, embedded on me
Anybody say that they're better than me, deaded to me
My life's a movie, I'm watchin' it all in third person
The Purge mergin' with I Am Legend with these cursed verses
I'm sure certain I'm Percy Jackson when I cut 'em with the pen
Spit venom then I spin 'em in a web
I know they want me dead
But I wouldn't be here right now if I ever gave a fuck 'bout what they said
New Draco from Korea, the green is growin' like Chia Pet
You gon' see this K pop, it ain't gon' be no BTS
VVS on my chest, got me glowin', Goku, DBS
Stop fuckin' typin' and say it with yo chest, TTS
They see my stress, but I see the best and I see the future
My life's like chess, so I think ahead, then I make maneuvers
Like Martin Luther, I had a dream, then I go pursue it
The only thing I wanna do is make my fuckin' music
I'll be damned, I'll go straight to Hell
Kill myself if I don't shoot 'til the pistol melt

Ah, dead man's corpse, body behind a silk curtain
I hid behind an umbrella, sun got my skin hurtin'
They wanna all crucify me, it's like a witch-burnin'
I'm a fuckin' walkin' skeleton outta Tim Burton
I walked a line with the devil talkin' to big serpents
Gazin' over oceans of bodies that were once servants
Singin' songs of the murdered martyrs that were pitch-perfect
While I drink out a bloody chalice that emits curses

Redemption for my soul if it hurts too
Mama, know I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm in a ghost, I'm goin' ghost too
And I want the most, I do the most, ooh
Tie me up to a post and then they toast booze
And then they light me on fire, I burn like coal too




They go from laughin' to cryin', because that's the worst news
Is that I didn't fuckin' die like I was supposed to

Overall Meaning

In "DEADMANSWONDERLAND," TOKYO'S REVENGE takes listeners on a journey through his internal struggles and past experiences, framed within a dystopian universe. The opening lines of the song suggest TOKYO'S REVENGE has faced hardships but has emerged stronger, "Oh, you survived? How does it feel? Caught with no wheels, floatin' around on these fuckin' rims. But I'm movin' still." He likens himself to Optimus Prime, a transformer who can change and evolve, and a product of his environment. He has been imbued with metal like Iron Man, and nobody can touch his skills. TOKYO'S REVENGE's life is a movie and views it from a third-person perspective, revealing he is aware of his place in the world. His flow is daring and venomous as he speaks about his struggles with the law, the music industry, and online trolls.


In the second verse, TOKYO'S REVENGE paints himself as a "walkin' skeleton" who has suffered and is being hunted like a witch. He engages in high-stakes conversations with the devil, walking a line between good and evil. He has seen things he cannot unsee and sings songs in memory of those who have passed. Despite his experiences, he still searches for redemption and apologizes to his mother for any pain he has caused her. He is elusive, a ghost-like figure, always on the move, always doing the most. In the end, he seems to accept his fate and the possibility of death, but he prevails.
