LYRICS 

Sun is up 
It calls me down to the road 
And do what they do 

Give me your hand 
I give you all 
We make a circle 
I cross the line 

Won’t look back before the time 
We won’t look back 
Before the time calls 
Colours paint over the sky 

We all live in a cycle 
Every cycle never ends 

Here we are 
On top of the mountain 
It was the dream 
When we’re down there 

Wind blowing fast 
And freeze our hands 
Still not over 
We have to move 

Won’t look back before the time 
We won’t look back 
Before the time calls 
Colours paint over the sky 

We all live in a cycle 
Every cycle never ends 
We all live in a cycle 
Every cycle never ends 

See the moon, always there when the light goes down 
We’ll be together till we're old

Hantu

The song is quite simple, Steve doing the chords and lyrics, while Guruh and Alex doing some basic rhythm at the studio. The song is describing a person who getting pretty much tired from the relationship he's going on.



sudah saatnya aku berjalan
terlalu lama aku menunggu
apa yg sedangengkau lakukan
kau t'lah membuat ku tak berdaya
 
tak kukira dirimu
jadi seperti itu
tak ku sangka dirimu
tak seperti yg dulu
 
coba coba mengerti, dirimu hatimu
apakah kau tak berfikir ku tau ooo yeeeah
 
sudah saatnya aku berjalan
terlalu lama aku menunggu
 
tak kukira dirimu
jadi seperti itu
tak ku sangka dirimu
tak seperti yg dulu
 
coba cobamengerti, dirimu hatimu
apakah kau tak berfikir ku tau ooo yeeeaah
mungkin kah ku tak berharga bagimu bagimu ....
bila memang begitu, ya sudahlah
 
ku lakukan smua, yg terbaik
untukmu, untukmu
senyum yg kau beri, namun ternyata
palsu, palsu
 
ku lakukan smua, yg terbaik
untukmu, untukmu
senyum yg kau beri, namun ternyata
palsu, palsu
 
aku tak menyesal
melepaskan dirimu
mungkn ini langkah
yg terbaik bagiku
 
aku tak menyesal
melepaskan dirimu
mungkin ini langkah
yang terbaik bagiku

Coba

The original idea came from Alex, some Jamiroquai-esque riffs blended with 70's rock and roll breakdown. The song based on "alter egos", lyrically done by Novelda Zulmi, our friend. :)

You got everything u want
Always right what u had decide
Flying high those red bitter eyes
Looking sore but u can’t never lie
 
Always through everything, and never looking back
I know how u do that way
Flying high those red bitter eyes
Looking sore but u can never lie
 
How many times i had to say
Before i went tired with everything
How many times i must tell u
You can run away but u can not stop the pain
 
I! dont wanna believe, dont wanna be someone
Uuu like you are like you are
I! dont wanna believe, dont wanna be someone
Uuu like you are like you are
 
I give up find way to fix u
Its more difficult than i imagine
I never want, never want
Being you....
 
How many times i had to say
Before i went tired with everything
How many times i must tell u
You can run away but u can not stop the pain
 
I! dont wanna believe, dont wanna be someone
Uuu like you are like you are
I! dont wanna believe, dont wanna be someone
Uuu like you are like you are

Never Want

First song that Tokyolite wrote together when going on trio. Again, Steve doing some opening thingy, and voila! The rest of the band doing the magic. Simple song about lost of your bestfriend, but you decided not to hold a grudge, but having a promise to yourself.

now look at the empty
papers waiting for me
to write something down
but i can't write
nor tell u what is true
cause my mine empty too
 
people come and go just pass the time away
they not giving an answer anyway
i think u a part of my wonderful live
but u don't know u don't think  so

pre chorus:
and when i said, "hello?", did you hearmy voice?
"hello?" did my voice reach your heart?
hey you, your're the one who running back

i try to look inside myself to see if somethingwrong
so why u look at me with those empty eyes
it is hard for u to speak or say ,what u thinkabout
and i'm sure u hide a something in your mind
u must know that i will never change my way
 
and when i said, "hello?", did you hearmy voice?
"hello?" did my voice reach your heart?
hey you, your're the one who running back

i try to look inside myself to see if something wrong

it is hard for u to speak or say, what u think about
and i'm sure u hide a something in your mind
u must know that i will never change my way
whatever u now, u still be my best friends

Hello

The idea came from Guruh who asked "Hey man, I've got this groove going on my head, can you guys put this and that? And well, I want to add some bass breakdown, could you guys do that? Cool, let's get started!" Simple song that talking about getting off from your day job awhile and having fun.

when u go up and down
every things change your mind
you gonna be crazy
 
everyone look u out
like there's something strange in u
i think u know, you’re special
 
hey, so what do you waiting for??
what u see??
it is not a solution,
 
we will carry on,
even never know, what will we carry on

yes dance, you can't forget what u  get 
set your body free to move around
just dance never worry bout the time
this night will never end until u get down
 
leave everything in your mind awhile
feel that, let the music move your way
trust me, your self be, much better after this
and your soul already free tonight

Yes! Dance!

Originally wrote by Devin and Alex in 2010, those guys doing every single bit of the arrangement, from the scratch, and Alex being responsible for the lyrics.

i wake up in this morning
tilt my head a bit and walk away
found another things right to my hand
and i try to recover everything right away
 
two things i ever hate in my live 
same old song that sing some teenagers
ain't my cup of tea, it is just another story
 
lets see your body feel like to fly away
turn on the music and there’s no worry
this ain't the 70s but there's no reason
to stand and still on the tune
 
let see your body will move it move it
move it to the other place for dancing
move it move it 
move it to the other place for dancing

[BIOGRAPHY]

Tokyolite are a funk pop trio unit based in Bogor, Indonesia, with members hailing from the same place and aim to be the 4 eyed gang of three. Their eclectic sound has been described as everything from rock, pop, to funk or anything you might add, with influences encompassing the band apart, riddim saunter, and UNCHAIN.

Formed in June 2009 by high school friends Devinza Kendranata (vocal, guitar), Alexander Bramono (bass, synth), Stevan Arianto (vocal, guitar, keyboards), Guruh Haryo (drums), and additional keyboardist Ghilman, they released their debut single Move It in July 2009 debuting at Harusame 2nd Compilation. In May 2011 Devin left the group and was followed by forthcoming singles release Hello, and Yes! Dance!.

The band went on to be nominated for 101.4 Trax FM JKT, LA Terusik Traxkustik Battle #2 of 2012 alongside Young de Brock, and subsequently self-released their very home made debut EP Hello on February 15th, 2013. This was accompanied by the release of their first MV Never Want as well directed by young talented cinematographer Anggit Bestari.

Another major success, Never Want MV was nominated and resulting in a Japanese Music Program called Asia Versus for 17th episode runner up contestant from Indonesia. Their international debut created a distinct and positive performance, surprisingly deservedly praised for their strictly live grooves based music at their very current age by GACKT one of the juries. That episode was aired on August 9th, 2013 on Fuji TV Channel around Tokyo. They are back in Dec 2013 with new single Consolation Prize, receiving extensive appraisal and debuting at Asia Versus Grand Prix episode in Japan. The second single Harus will be released next year, followed by their upcoming album.
