A wish for all (Wish for all)
To blossom and to change
Mystical (Mystical)
Ancient, and forgotten ways

Iachoku, Iachoku
I'm not as sweet as I've lead you
Iachoku, Iachoku
With spiders beside her

I heard you speak
Of ancient cherry blossoms
And I ask you to take me there
A wish for all
I ask you to take me there
And I wish for all

Iachoku, Iachoku
I'm not as sweet as I've lead you
Iachoku, Iachoku
With spiders beside her
(Spiders beside her)

Tradition meets with ocean eyes
And sea monsters
Are in the tide
And there's a spider besider

Iachoku, Iachoku
I'm not as sweet as I've lead you
Iachoku, Iachoku
With spiders beside her

Iachoku
(Sunrise is slowly calling you)
Iachoku
(Eight arms and legs to hold onto)
Iachoku
(Her ways combining)
With spiders beside her
(Old and new)
A spider beside her

    General Comment:For a long time, my little brother an I weren't sure what he was saying during the "Iachoku" line. Since we couldn't figure it out we decided to sing "The arch of goo." :)

    Of course, it doesn't make any sense.. but we thought it was hilarious. To this day, we still laugh at it.

    General Comment:Spiders are things that deceive and set traps for people. Hence the deception of the person in the song.

    General Comment:I heard that this song is about him meeting a Japanese girl and her name was Iachoku. She was telling him about how the U.S wasnt everything that she expected it too be.
