Midnight in Tokyo
Midnight in Tokyo: A Journey of Love, Loss, and Intoxicating Nights
Lyrics
Jet fuel burning in the sky
Reference to a plane taking off with jet fuel burning in the sky, setting the scene for departure
So just that you know
Clarifying that goodbye wasn't said intentionally as the desire is to avoid letting go
I didn't say goodbye because I never wanna let you go
Expressing the reluctance to bid farewell to someone, not wanting to part ways
Now you're boarding without me to Tokyo
Describing the person boarding a flight to Tokyo without the speaker
No
Simple denial or refusal
It won't break you but the news is bound to shake you
Implying that while the situation won't harm, the news might affect emotionally
I could tell that you don't like this too
Observation that the person isn't pleased or comfortable with the situation
A lot of time for my mind
Having ample time for contemplation
With the alcohol combined
Suggesting a state of mind influenced by alcohol
I just float until I wake up brand new
Drifting through life's moments until a rejuvenating awakening
Burning up
Sensory imagery of intense emotion, possibly a metaphor for feeling overwhelmed
I never thought that this would be us
Surprise or disbelief that the current situation involves the speaker and the person
Getting so lost in the summertime
Getting deeply engrossed or lost in the enjoyable moments of summer
Why won't you make up your mind?
Questioning the indecision of the other person
Falling so hard just to break my spine
Falling deeply for someone only to experience significant emotional pain
Smashing up a forty ounce
Repetitive lines, suggestive of a party or celebratory atmosphere
Girl make that ass bounce
-Smashing up a forty ounce
-Girl make that ass bounce
-Smashing up a forty ounce
-Girl make that ass bounce
-Turning the light on, I'm sorry
Turning on the light as an apology gesture
Room service tonight with that fried calamari
Ordering room service, specifically fried calamari
Tito's and Sprite once again
Indication of the drink being consumed, Tito's with Sprite
I'm sipping Bulleit and watching you spread
Enjoying Bulleit whiskey while admiring the person's actions or presence
Oh yeah
Expressing enjoyment when it's just the two of them
I like when it's just us and we're making a mess
Favoring the chaotic yet intimate moments
My favorite part of the night, I confess
Admitting the favorite part of the night is the closeness shared
Grabbing your shoulder to pull you in closer
A gesture indicating pulling someone closer physically
While you melt away all my stress
Feeling relaxed due to the other person's calming influence
Strawberry cough in the bedroom
Referring to a strain of marijuana in the bedroom
Tell me everything that you've been through
Seeking to understand the other person's experiences
Strawberry cough like I'm used to
Comfort with the familiarity of a particular strain of marijuana
I don't wanna leave if I'm not with you
Expressing a desire not to depart if not accompanied by the person
Burning up
Repetition of the intense emotion, perhaps indicating it's unexpected
I never thought that this would be us
Similar sentiment to line 13, expressing surprise at the current situation
You're getting so lost in this soul of mine
Commenting on the other person's immersion in the speaker's essence or emotions
Why don't you make up your mind?
Reiterating the request for the other person to make a decision
Falling down so I break my spine
Experiencing a deep emotional fall, possibly due to indecision or actions
