I Don't Think of Japan
Escape to Unknown Horizons: Jackal & the Wind's Musical Journey
Lyrics
We get stoned and we lie on the trampoline
We engage in recreational drug use and recline on the trampoline.
Staring at the stars, yeah, our minds would be buzzing
While lying on the trampoline, we gaze at the stars, experiencing a heightened mental state.
See, I don't think of Japan
Expressing a strong connection to the current location, emphasizing no thoughts about Japan or any other place.
I don't think I can
-Think of any other place than where I am
-See, I don't think of Japan
-I don't think I can
-Think of any other place than where I am
-You wanna go to the sea shore?
Discussion about visiting the sea shore and the hills of heaven, expressing a desire for unexplored places.
The hills of heaven lie below the shore
-I haven't seen but I know for sure
-All the places that we wanna go
-You wanna go to the sea shore?
-The hills of heaven lie below the shore
-I haven't seen but I know for sure
-All the places that we wanna go
-When she said I
Repetition of the sentiment of not thinking about Japan, and a commitment to staying where the speaker is.
Went away I
-Don't think of Japan, I'm staying, I
-When she said I
-Went away I
-Don't think of Japan, I'm staying, I
-When she said I
-Went away I
-Don't think of Japan, I'm staying, I
-When she said I
-Went away I
-Don't think of Japan, I'm staying, I
-Then I woke up in the medical submarine
Narrative shift to waking up in a medical submarine, describing a surreal experience with heavenly lights.
Lights came down from heaven, it's all I've seen
-See, I don't think of Japan
Reiteration of the theme of not thinking about Japan and being content with the current location.
I don't think I can
-Think of any other place than where I am
-See, I don't think of Japan
-I don't think I can
-Think of any other place than where I am
-You wanna go to the sea shore?

The hills of heaven lie below the shore
-I haven't seen but I know for sure
-All the places that we wanna go
-When she said, I
Continued repetition of the idea of not thinking about Japan and choosing to stay where the speaker is.
Went away, I
-Don't think of Japan, I'm staying, I
-When she said, I
-Went away, I
-Don't think of Japan, I'm staying, I
-When she said, I
-Went away, I
-Don't think of Japan, I'm staying, I
-Oh, when she said, I
-Went away, I
-Don't think of Japan, I'm staying, I
-When she said, I
Final repetition of the commitment to stay and not think about Japan, reinforcing the central theme of the song.
Went away, I
