Croll, Dan - Tokyo Lyrics






I break down inside
Every time that I see you've arrived
Somehow you've crossed the line
Travelling faster than you ever inclined

I tried my best to look away, but
I can't believe what you tell me what I should see
Meanwhile, others scream jealousy
Telling me to take a seat
And watch you as you take on it all
But you're set to fall

No, I've never been to Tokyo
Never made my inhibitions known
Don't look kindly on the things you do
From my enigmatic point of view
No, I've never been to Tokyo
Never made my inhibitions known
Don't look kindly on the things you do
From my enigmatic point of view, view

I tried my best to look away, but
I can't believe what you tell me what I should see
Meanwhile, others scream jealousy
Telling me to take a seat
And watch you as you take on it all
But you're set to fall

No, I've never been to Tokyo
Never made my inhibitions known
Don't look kindly on the things you do
From my enigmatic point of view
No, I've never been to Tokyo
Never made my inhibitions known
Don't look kindly on the things you do
From my enigmatic point of view, view

No, I've never been to Tokyo
Never made my inhibitions known
Don't look kindly on the things you do
From my enigmatic point of view
No, I've never been to Tokyo
Never made my inhibitions known
Don't look kindly on the things you do
From my enigmatic point of view, view, view

Croll, Dan Tokyo Comments
  1. J.... ....

    Dan Croll reminds me a lot of Bear Hands for some reason.

  2. y.... i....

    I don’t like it but I like it

  3. R.... ....

    Reminds me a lot of the _Yellow Submarine_ movie

  4. R.... S....

    It’s been 2 years, I hope he had been to Tokyo.

    R.... S....

    Rizka Sekar m2 🤗

    R.... S....

    Hope his inhibitions were never known

  5. N.... ....

    Amazing work of Simon Landrein

  6. D.... M....

    Art style kinda reminds me of Peter Bjorn and John's album covers

  7. K.... B....

    This is the 2nd song I listened to on my new iPhone 11

    Abstracto hipsters verdad

  11. J.... ....

    'Hmm never heard this guys songs.' (Listens to a couple, then Tokyo on repeat. Buys Album.)

    Gotta admit, I'd want to get some ki flight going seeing legs with eyes... let alone dirty dancing and forced to watch. He had much better than a jetpack.

  12. b.... c....

    It's about Trump!

  13. I.... U....

    how come this music video came out about 2 years ago and ONLY HAS 500K views! This music video is great!

  14. V.... F....

    The only long term goal I have ever told anyone about was my passion to own and run a farm, i was made fun of because one of my passions were silly and not what people expected out of me. So i never tell anyone what i want out of life in case they think it’s dumb

  15. V.... M....

    Please come to Brazil

  16. T.... W....

    I discovered this song, ironically enough, while living in Tokyo for a while. Was a really special night when I did. Such a great song that reminds me of my truly amazing time. Gosh I miss Tokyo.

  17. K.... K....

    Criminally underrated

    Listening to this on the way to work in Tokyo.

    I have to thank my local radio station for introducing me to this song! I seriously wish radios would have their DJs do lesser known stuff more often

  25. S.... 7....

    This made my day and this is why I love discovering good music!!!

  26. s.... b....

    Okay this needs more views.

  27. T.... D....

    2:20 “Dan you cant just fly away from situations that make you uncomfortable”. But Dan could. And he did.

  28. L.... U....

    Algum dia eu vou a Tokyo

  29. I.... ....

    although this song will be decently old once gta 6 comes out, they have to put it in

    i hate that hes so underrated a video like this should have 10x the views

  38. D.... O....

    2:13... well, that's enough internet for today XD Cool song though.

  39. Y.... G....

    this is bloody brilliant

  40. �.... �....

    can someone tell me what this westhetic is called

  41. s.... ....

    Me:
    Dan: Tokyo? Me? Never been. Did you know that? I've never been to Tokyo.

  42. E.... W....

    In my mind it's about how he feels pressured to let someone continue down a path even though he doesn't believe it's a good idea, and the chorus is him being defensive about not doing something ridiculous himself

    E.... W....

    It's poetic and I love it whether my interpretation is accurate or not

    E.... W....

    Thanks I was looking for an interpretation

  43. R.... ....

    I hear this song at work every damn day... and it gets better every time 😂😂😂😂

  44. A.... M....

    Hello Dan Croll,

    I like your music and videos!

    Greetings from Colombia .

  45. N.... W....

    This will be me in 2110 when I do drive to Toyko. :)

  46. J.... W....

    Dan is so underrated that it actually makes me upset

  47. J.... M....

    Intro reminds me of How can you really by Foxygen

  48. P.... ....

    I thought my eyes deceived me and the background is not white, it turns out its #fffaef, little bit on orange side, nice touch.

  49. �.... ....

  55. a.... c....

    lyrics:
    I break down inside
    Every time that I see you've arrived
    Somehow you've crossed the line
    Traveling faster than you ever inclined

    [Pre-Chorus 1]
    I've tried my best to look away but
    I can't believe what
    You tell me what I should see
    Meanwhile, others scream jealousy
    Telling me to take a seat and
    Watch you as you take on it all
    But you're set to fall

    [Chorus]
    No I've never been to Tokyo
    Never made my inhibitions known
    Don't look kindly on the things you do
    From my enigmatic point of view

    No I've never been to Tokyo
    Never made my inhibitions known
    Don't look kindly on the things you do
    From my enigmatic point of view

  56. O.... A....

    How do you learn to animate like this? It seems to cathartic and I could use some of it lmao

  57. �.... �....

    Классная песня только не могу вк ее найти

  58. s.... ....

    this deserves more views tbh

  59. p.... ....

    This couldn't be any better.

  60. M.... L....

    Te amo.
    sjddjsk

  61. C.... B....

    Qui est là grâce à Pull and Bear ?

  62. M.... J....

    The nail in the coffin! Marv Albert would say.

  63. S.... F....

    Brazil > Tokyo

  64. B.... ....

    I think the transition frames from 2:59 to 3:00 are the only point in the animation where colors other than red, blue, white, and black are used.

  65. T.... A....

    Every frame of this could be an album cover!

  66. J.... S....

    This song is an emotion.

  67. T.... ....

    I 👍 this music

  68. K.... ....

    i want ninjasexparty/ dan avidan to cover this

  69. M.... ....

    After this song you MUST went to the Tokyo

  70. A.... B....

    don't like the animation ... its boring i think

  71. A.... T....

    This song gives me such nostalgia for some reason
    Seems like it would sound good as vaporwave

  72. R.... ....

    2:00 When you go house of your girlfriend and when you call to the door your mother in law appears with a transparent dress.

  73. A.... S....

    And i like the animation they did a good job on it

  74. A.... S....

    For me it has like a sad beat to it

  75. A.... S....

    Doesn't this song make you think back in life and that what u did wrong in your life and that what u did wrong u can never take back

  76. L.... M....

    Animation kinda reminds me of Seth McFarlene

  77. K.... g....

    YES!👌👌👌👍👍👍👍

  78. S.... D....

    Every frame of this music video is a gotdamn mood

  79. S.... S....

    Cutecutecute

  80. s.... ....

    come to tokyo!!!!!!!!!!

  81. H.... L....

    How to say that you haven’t been in Tokyo in style

  82. K.... P....

    Anyone else getting ninja sex party vibes

  83. P.... ....

    God, please come to Cologne or somewhere nearby, you're amazing.

  84. P.... ....

    I can relate to 02:00 so much.

  85. T.... S....

    Maybe this is really obvious to everyone else, but I kinda get the impression that this music video is meant to be satirising social media. There's the camera with legs, always watching (and it reminds me of the Instagram logo). The red-haired guy is exhibiting his life, trying to impress others and put his appearance on a literal pedestal. No idea what's up with the legs with eyes. But then there's the part where the guy eats a camera, and his hands turn into giant "like" symbols, straight from Facebook. But after all that the guy seems to reject the whole concept of social media. He pushes the other guy out of the way, gets in a rocket chair, and blasts off. Finally, he takes control of a giant robot version of himself - maybe relating to abandoning online social presence/addiction, and literally taking control of who he is.

    Or, maybe it's just a trippy video. Either way, great song, and awesome animation.

  86. M.... U....

    Hi from Tokyo.
    Thank you for this song.

  87. M.... ....

    Why is this so amazing!?

  88. b.... ....

    lorde would be good on this track

  89. P.... ....

    For 2 Months "From Nowhere" has always been the next one in autoplay, until now.

  90. L.... P....

    Try the song with 1,25 speed it is even better

  91. G.... S....

    I remember seeing him in concert opening for Aurora in Boston a year ago and he sang this and I was so upset it wasn't out yet, it's so good holy geez

  92. J.... ....

    Remix anyone?

  93. M.... R....

    god deam that sing r a great sing

  94. D.... W....

    The animation looks a lot like one of those sections from Rick and Morty's "Exquisite Corpse" short.

  95. J.... O....

    4:06 griffin mcelroy

  96. H.... ....

    Najgorsza kurwa piosenka na świecie. Pierdolcie się, nienawidzę was.
