Like seriously I do not understand why everyone doesn’t already automatically know this, what are you people stupid or some poo poo? God.

It's actually "I mess my brains down in Atlanta". About a guy on an rear end-safari in Atlanta, and he messes up his brains on coke, but it's a metaphor and he's not actually doing coke, he's doing Coke.

I once worked a 4 hour shift for two years. Only one radio station could penetrate the steel building, a classic rock station. Every day I heard Toto's Africa. EVERY. loving. DAY.

The rest of the song is nonsensical so why should anyone seriously analyze that line?

I think he's talking about searching the world to find himself and realizing that the answer was his girlfriend back home the whole time.

I agree OP. The lyrics need to be edited for clarity and simplicity, like these: I don’t want to see a ghost It’s the sight that I fear most I’d rather have a piece of toast Watch the evening news. That's definitely better.

Why hasn't any African nation adopted the song as their national anthem? Is it a copyright thing or what? Get on it africa

When I first heard this song on the radio as a kid I heard the line as “there’s nothing that a hundred men on Mars could ever do”. At that exact moment I was contemplating this song about a Martian invasion, the DJ from the local station must have not realized his mic was on because I heard him briefly crack up after that line. This really cemented in my mind that the song had something to do with Martians trying to take over the earth and the band Toto was going to somehow thwart them by disrupting African weather patterns, and the DJ must have thought it was as absurd as I did.

real answer is that the guy is a missionary in africa and the locals keep asking him to bless things like rivers and rainstorms and he's too much of a little bitch to tell them that holy water doesn't work like that but hey his girlfriend from back home is finally visiting him and hes really looking forward to it but also hes brooding to himself about how being in africa has changed him and maybe she wont love him anymore and the locals are just like shut up go get your dick wet idiot source: i read an interview with the guy from toto a while ago i forget his name
