Tokyo
The S.C.U.M. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He just wanna know though
Shift down and then I dip
Like Tokyo drift, Tokyo drift
Tokyo drift, Tokyo drift
Tokyo drift, Tokyo drift
Tokyo drift, Tokyo drift
Tokyo drift, Tokyo drift
Wanna give it to me slowly
Tryna flex but he don't know me
Fly to Tokyo and leave him lonely
Oh no, he like a ghost rushing through me
Moving closer to my body
He feel the chemistry like lightening
But boy you'll never catch me
No you cannot control me
No you cannot control me
No you cannot control me
No you cannot control me
Oh he wanna call me wifey
I move to fast for you to find me
Tried to break it to him lightly
But I'm so cold there's no one like me
Tokyo drift, Tokyo drift
Tokyo drift, Tokyo drift
Tokyo drift, Tokyo drift
Tokyo drift, Tokyo drift
ほっといて
Tokyo drift, Tokyo drift
Tokyo drift, Tokyo drift
Tokyo drift, Tokyo drift
Tokyo drift, Tokyo drift
The lyrics are from The S.C.U.M.'s song Tokyo, which describes the experience of someone who is being chased in their car by another person who is trying to control them. The main character is driving a fast car, an Evo, and is being followed by someone who is trying to keep up with them. The chorus, which repeats the phrase "Tokyo drift" multiple times, refers to the famous Fast and Furious movie franchise, specifically the third installment, which was set in Tokyo and featured scenes of high-speed car chases throughout the city. The main character is using their driving skills to evade the person who is chasing them, and is determined to not let them catch up.
The lyrics also hint at a romantic relationship between the main character and the person who is chasing them. The person is trying to "love" the main character and "give it to them slowly," but the main character is not interested in being controlled or caught. They fly to Tokyo to "leave him lonely," suggesting that they are trying to distance themselves from the person and the situation altogether. The final lines of the song, which are in Japanese, translate to "leave me alone" and serve as a final rejection of the person's advances.
Overall, the lyrics of Tokyo by The S.C.U.M. describe a high-paced chase scene that is both exciting and dangerous, with elements of romance and rebellion woven throughout.
