@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Absolute shibari, cold noodles and hot sake
The mistress bar in Roppongi is the place
For Japanese hardcore, not the kind you’re gonna find at the record store
Not the kind designed for the kind hearted
Do not pass go, do not get bail
Go directly to Osaka Jail
Where you get locked or drunk under the table
For just under 10,000 yen
You can visit hell and come back again
For the process of hurting and healing
Cake and candle wax dessert
It’s not fun ‘til someone gets hurt
Who’s the next to get hung from the ceiling?
So if you want rewards and consequence
They got the cool and unusual punishments
Get on your knees for Japanese instruction
Rope and cigarette burns, forget about any health concerns
This is pure assisted self-destruction
Kanpai and bottoms up, unhelping hands hogtie you up
One bad deed surely deserves another
Bruised from bamboo caning
Coming home try explaining this to your significant other
Good fucking luck…

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

It's refering to this! at about 3:30 they even play this song youtube.com/watch
The S&M underground in Japan.
whats at the beginning of the song?
This song reminds me of 13 stitches. I think they are really simular. In the begging and end it's a lady saying she's sorry. I'll get the exact translation soon.
okay, so yeah it's kind of hard to translate, but she is basically saying various japanese appoloigies.
kampai is something you say before you drink in japan; like bottoms up. shibari means bondage fetish, sake is rice wine served hot (i speak japanese)
either this song is about the screwed up police system in japan. (which they can torture you and stuff for small criminal offenses), or about a bad experience in japan that NOFX had. i know they go on tour they a lot.
okay, so i get it now, they get japanese hookers and get tortured by cops
Obviously theres a great price to pay for getting with Japanese prostitutes...I do not really understand the end though.
at the end he says that he got brusied from police brutaliaty and when he comes home, hes going to have to explain how he got that to his wife
This has nothing to do with the police at all. It's all about an s&m club. The bit about Osaka jail is probably a dungeon reference.
What's not to understand about the ending? Getting spanked by a mistress leaves very telling marks that's hard to explain to a partner, hence one bad deed deserves another (the punishment for unfaithfulness).
The dialog in the beginning sounds really familiar. I'm sure it's taken from a movie. Ichi the Killer mabye. I think I'll have to go throuhg my film collection to find it now.
Well from the start shibari is the form of tying some one up.
Roppongi is an area of Tokyo where all the partying happens.
Osaka is a prefect on mainland Japan. Very large city.
Kanpai is a phrase used just before drinking.
The rest of the song is pretty straight forward. Its a song about BDSM.
