Tobi & Jojo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tension building up and I'd feel so small
Some nights I'd hide under the pillows 'cause I didn't know what else to do
Started singing just to get some attention
A melody to cut through the addiction
And every song I made turned into wishes
Some of them came true
Everyone spends some nights alone
Rich or for poor
I'm always yours
You never left me on my own
Tell me who, who would I be without you?
No matter how much we lose
Every time I bet my life on you
We were never rich not even thousands
Mom was on her knees cleaning houses
I used to go to work with her some days
And dream and dance in the big hallways
Everyone's scared, everyone's scarred
Everyone spends some nights alone
But every high, every low
You never left me on my own
Tell me who, who would I be without you?
No matter how much we lose
Every time I bet my life on you
Tell me who, would I be without you?
Nothing I'd rather do
Every night I bet my life on you
Who would I be without you?
Went on the road to make my daddy proud
But I lost him and so I sang to the crowd
My only hope is that he's looking down thinking
"Oh my God, my daughter's doing it now"
Tell me who, who would I be without you?
No matter how much we lose
Every time I bet my life on you
Tell me who, would I be without you?
Nothing I'd rather do
Every night I bet my life on you
Who would I be without you?
The lyrics to Tobi & Jojo's song "Music" are about the power of music and the importance of the people who support us throughout our lives. The opening lines talk about the singer's difficult childhood, where they would hear arguing and feel small and helpless. They would sing to grab attention and escape the addiction around them, and the melodies they created became like wishes, some of which came true.
The chorus reminds us that everyone goes through hardships and loneliness, but the people who are always there for us - whether rich or poor - are invaluable. The singer then tells the story of growing up with a mother who cleaned houses to make ends meet. Even during those tough times, the singer dreamed and danced, and they had someone who supported them. The second verse talks about the loss of a father and how the singer hoped to make him proud through their music.
Overall, the song emphasizes the importance of having someone to believe in us and support us through the highs and lows. The music itself is a way for the singer to express emotions and process difficult experiences, and they recognize that they could not have made it this far without the love and encouragement of others.
Line by Line Meaning
I used to hear the voices through the thin walls
I could hear my parents arguing through the walls
Tension building up and I'd feel so small
Their arguments made me feel scared and insignificant
Some nights I'd hide under the pillows 'cause I didn't know what else to do
I would try to block out the arguing by hiding under my pillows
Started singing just to get some attention
I began singing so that someone would notice me
A melody to cut through the addiction
The singing served as an escape from the stress and tension at home
And every song I made turned into wishes
My songs became my dreams and aspirations
Some of them came true
Some of my dreams actually became reality
Everyone rises, everyone falls
Everyone goes through highs and lows in life
Everyone spends some nights alone
Everyone experiences loneliness at some point
Rich or for poor
Regardless of our financial situation
I'm always yours
I will always be there for you
You never left me on my own
You have always been there to support me
Tell me who, who would I be without you?
I wouldn't be the person I am today without your love and support
No matter how much we lose
Despite any setbacks or losses we experience
Every time I bet my life on you
I trust you with my life and my future
We were never rich not even thousands
We were not financially well off
Mom was on her knees cleaning houses
My mom worked hard cleaning houses to support us
I used to go to work with her some days
I would accompany my mom to work sometimes
And dream and dance in the big hallways
I would daydream and dance around in the large houses
Everyone's scared, everyone's scarred
Everyone has fears and emotional wounds
But every high, every low
Through the good times and bad
Tell me who, who would I be without you?
You have played such an important role in shaping who I am
Nothing I'd rather do
There is no one else I want to be with
Every night I bet my life on you
I put my trust in you every day
Went on the road to make my daddy proud
I pursued my dreams to make my father proud
But I lost him and so I sang to the crowd
My father passed away and I performed on stage in his memory
My only hope is that he's looking down thinking
I hope my father is proud of me from above
Who would I be without you?
I owe so much to you, who would I be without you?
