Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Why am I so paranoid?
Can't be so pa-)

Drunk in Tokyo, I do not know the language, nor how I know your name
Just slipped past the guards and in past this godless garden, it's all the same
Seven, seven, all the same, tweak until she tell me she
Drunk in Tokyo with no place to go, don't know how she know me
I swear I seen you dance (I swear I seen you dance)
Was it in Paris, France (my lovely, dark romance)
Come towards the water babe (run to the waves of gold)
And then it's all on me (I thought I'd let you know, oh)

High in Tokyo, my head is so low, these police don't play no games
Just did my first show, I saw you front row, don't know how I know your name
'Scuse me if it's rude to say, smiled and then she told me she
High in Tokyo, her life in slow-mo, don't know how she knows me

I swear I seen you dance (I swear I seen you dance)
Was it in Paris, France (my lovely, dark romance)
Come towards the water babe (run to the waves of gold)
And then it's all on me (I thought I'd let you know, oh)

I was made to ride for you, I would die for you, it's (yours)
I was made to ride for you, I would die for you, it's (don't you know that it's yours, babe?)
I was made to ride for you, I would die for you, it's (don't you know that it's yours, babe?)
I was made to ride for you, I would die for you, (it's yours)




I was made to ride for you, I would die for you, it's
I was made to ride for you, I would die for you, it's

Overall Meaning

Berhana’s song “Drunk in Tokyo” talks about a feeling of isolation and confusion while being far away from a place that feels like home. The song captures the experience of being in an unfamiliar place without knowing the language, and feeling disconnected from everything happening around. The lyrics "Drunk in Tokyo, I do not know the language, nor how I know your name / Just slipped past the guards and in past this godless garden, it's all the same" paint a picture of someone lost and trying to navigate their way through an unknown city.


The second verse of the song talks about being high in Tokyo and feeling a little better, but still struggling with a sense of detachment. The lyrics "High in Tokyo, my head is so low, these police don't play no games / Just did my first show, I saw you front row, don't know how I know your name" convey a sense of unease that can come from performing in front of strangers and not feeling entirely at ease with the experience. Throughout the song, the recurring lyrics "I swear I've seen you dance, was it in Paris, France?" suggest a feeling of familiarity with someone even though the singer can't quite place where they know them from.
