Tokyo Lyrics

I am neon
Cold neon
Not a mystery

All I've every known is
How to be alone
It comes naturally

Oh baby, can I hold you?
Such a cold, cold night
I thought I wouldn't need to
I've got my neon lights
I'm longing just to feel you
To know that it's alright
Oh baby baby baby baby

I'm out of sight
I'm out of mind
Alone in Tokyo

You're out of reach
Wrong place, wrong time
Alone in Tokyo

Here I go again
To and fro again
Overnight delivery

Grew a thicker skin
Now it's growing thin
You can see right into me

Oh baby, can I hold you?
Such a cold, cold night
I thought I wouldn't need to
I've got my neon lights
If only just to feel you
To know that it's alright
Oh baby baby baby baby

I'm out of sight
I'm out of mind
Alone in Tokyo

You're out of reach
Wrong place, wrong time
Alone in Tokyo

I'm out of sight
Going out of my mind
Alone in Tokyo

You're out of reach
Wrong place, wrong time
Alone in Tokyo

Oh, in Tokyo

What is the Meaning of Tokyo?

Ever felt lost in a bustling city, surrounded by lights but feeling incredibly alone? Lianne La Havas captures this sentiment beautifully. The song dives into the loneliness one can experience even in a vibrant place like Tokyo. The neon lights symbolize both allure and isolation, highlighting how superficial comfort can't replace genuine human connection. Despite being surrounded by the city's glow, the singer feels out of reach and misplaced, yearning for warmth and intimacy. It's a poignant reflection on how physical surroundings can sometimes amplify emotional solitude.
