Story behind the song
I just wanted to write about the city where most of our adventures took place, so I went about trying to figure out how to describe it to someone new to the experience.
Lyrics
Verse 1
‘tis the city of angels and demons
Where agents are people as well as the villains
Live your life to its right fulfillment
Live your life as your life would see fit
It’s a brand new day and your life is a show
Gotta work it until the ending
Your hope is neverending
In this city’s the new beginning
The radio in DesCha Tokyo
Is sounding off and the speaker’s blaring
AM with the same announcements
As the sun is risen and glaring, people are staring
At the TV screens which complete the scenes
Of a metropolitan utopia
See it’s great here, yeah I told ya
But there’s a lot more under the cover
Chorus:
Wake up
And smell the roses of your paradise
(You can find it yeah I know it, (x3)
And if you look hard then it’ll show itself)
Get up
And wipe the evening’s worries from your eyes
(Just chill… and take a nice relaxing breath,
This freestyle ain’t over yet)
Verse 2
Come and see the cityside for what it is
Don’t just stand there in outright bliss
Just kiss –DJ, start that music
If I don’t have rhythm I’ll lose it
Melodies and maladies and infamies
Are the sorts of things that celebrities
Or public people in this town
Get up and do during their down
TIME, is of essence to all who treasure
The importance of one small measure
And one mistake or break makes better
Or worse depending on the pressure-taker
Destiny is calamity or prosperity
It all depends on who’s willing to make it
There’s a chance – see that chance? – then take it
There’s no other way, can’t fake it
(chorus)
Verse 3
It’s the city of thugs and heroes
It’s the city of rights and wrongs and through this song
We hope to make clear to people
That’s it’s really not that hard
To make a start in the city of melting cultures
In the city of destined futures
Where people are always tested
Sometimes winning, sometimes bested
By peers who are in with it or out of touch
And those who know too much
Who hide in shadows and as such
Don’t make a fuss about it
But we can’t live without it
DesCha Tokyo is the place to stay,
Well, next to DesCha Sydney
But that’s a whole ‘nother story.
(chorus until fade)
Yo, this is DesCha Tokyo... DesCha... Destiny's Challenge... Are you ready to take it on?...
