Little Pleasures
TOKiMONSTA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Clinging to a time, when innocence was always mine
They say they told me so, they say my boat will stay afloat
So let the candle glow, let it burn for all I know….there's something more
I can see the sun come through the rain
Little pleasures, little pleasures
Walking though reminded of the pain
Consciously I glide, straight through ghosts and past remorse
But they can't take my hope, thieves of dreams but not my soul
I'm the mystery, nostalgic for sweetness and tea
Taste of being free
I've seen, I've heard, I've wrote
And now I long to truly know the truth as I know my home
I can see the sun come through the rain
Little pleasures, little pleasures
Walking though reminded of the pain
Little pleasures, little pleasures
I can see, I can see, I can see the sun
The lyrics of TOKiMONSTA's "Little Pleasures" express a sense of longing for a simpler time when innocence prevailed, and everything was easier. The singer wishes to go back in time and believe in the changing tides, to recapture the blissful unawareness of youth. The lyrics suggest that people have warned the singer that life's difficulties and challenges can sometimes weigh down a person's boat, but despite this, she clings to hope, to a belief that there is something more.
The second verse speaks of the singer's ability to glide through past hurt and regrets with the conscious knowledge that no one can take her soul. She seems to revel in the mystery of life, and though it may come with sweet taste, it can also bring bitterness. Throughout, the singer acknowledges the importance of small pleasures, which somehow help balance out the negatives of life. The phrase "Little pleasures, little pleasures" further emphasizes this point, that small and seemingly insignificant pleasures can make a big difference.

Longing to rewind, to believe in changing tides
I wish to go back in time and have faith in the ebb and flow of life
Clinging to a time, when innocence was always mine
Remembering a period when I was always innocent
They say they told me so, they say my boat will stay afloat
People claim they warned me and my future is secure
So let the candle glow, let it burn for all I know….there's something more
Allow the light to shine and continue burning because there might be something beyond the present
Consciously I glide, straight through ghosts and past remorse
I move forward with awareness, disregarding spirits and regret
But they can't take my hope, thieves of dreams but not my soul
My hope remains untouched, even though my dreams could be stolen
I'm the mystery, nostalgic for sweetness and tea
I'm uncertain, longing for past comfort and delicacies
Taste of being free
Savoring the feeling of freedom
I've seen, I've heard, I've wrote
I've visualized, heard and expressed myself
And now I long to truly know the truth as I know my home
Currently, I yearn for a better understanding of things, as clear as my knowledge of my abode
I can see the sun come through the rain
I observe the sunlight amidst the rain
Little pleasures, little pleasures
Small joys, simple happiness
Walking though reminded of the pain
Walking through reminds me of hurt
I can see, I can see, I can see the sun
I can see the sun

Longing to rewind, to believe in changing tides
Clinging to a time, when innocence was always mine
They say they told me so, they say my boat will stay afloat
So let the candle glow, let it burn for all I know….there’s something more
I can see the sun come through the rain
Little pleasures, little pleasures
Walking though reminded of the pain
Little pleasures, little pleasures
Consciously I glide, straight through ghosts and past remorse
But they can’t take my hope, thieves of dreams but not my soul
I’m the mystery, nostalgic for sweetness and tea
Taste of being free
I’ve seen, I’ve heard, I’ve wrote
And now I long to truly know the truth as I know my home
I can see the sun come through the rain
Little pleasures, little pleasures
Walking though reminded of the pain
Little pleasures, little pleasures
I can see, I can see, I can see the sun

Not only does she make the music sound so beautiful she happens to make the lyrics so meaningful to me in weird little ways and I don’t know why I didn’t hear about her sooner :’)

TOKiMONSTA is the sun and drinks the sky; there is nothing more beautiful that the sounds that she emits from the wonderland that is the recesses of her magnetic mind. it's a cosmic landscape that can only be called heaven and she is the deity that graces us with this gift. this is no mere woman this is the hope that tomorrow can be a reality...

Somehow, no matter how lonely and useless you feel, music is there.

This tune is a true masterpiece -- one of the most affective pieces of music I have heard. A pity her other material doesn't quite compare.
