Flames Flicker
Trouble Over Tokyo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We know it can unleash dogs
We know it can break us
But we fight, we fight all the boundaries
We fight it with rule breaking
We fight it with mistaking
We keep saying that it's enough
And flames flicker
Flames, flames flicker
The Flames flicker and the fire gets bigger
We keep saying we're out of time
We stopped following our own guidelines
And flames flicker
Flames, flames flicker
The flames flicker and the fire gets bigger
Time, time was when we were
We were invincible
We were divided
But the find, the find of the Century
The find of the underdogs
Came and embraced us
These lyrics portray a group that is aware of the risks associated with their actions, acknowledging that what they are doing can unleash chaos and have devastating consequences. However, they persist in their behavior, pushing boundaries and rejecting rules as they believe it is necessary to achieve their goals. They claim that they have reached a point where they cannot be stopped, and their actions are like starting a fire that cannot be extinguished. They are no longer following their own guidelines, and the flames grow bigger with each passing moment.
The lyrics also hint at a feeling of righteousness and superiority over those who would try to constrain them. They see themselves as invincible, and the find they have made has given them the power to embrace their inner underdog and reject the status quo. The chorus conveys a sense of danger and uncertainty - the repeated mantra of "flames flicker" creates an image of unstable fire that could self-destruct at any moment.
Overall, these lyrics suggest a theme of rebellion and the high stakes that come with it. The group knows that they are playing with fire (literally and figuratively) but they feel that it is necessary to take risks to achieve their goals. They are willing to break the rules, embrace the underdog mentality, and unleash chaos if that is what it takes to succeed.

it's such a disgusting shame that crap/junk videos get thousands of views pages of comment and this only has 30 views. Trouble Over Tokyo is one of the greatest worldwide artist singer songwriter composer who writes and sings divine, genuine melodies. Check this guy and you won't go back
