Lyrics

I'm going back to the land of the blind

I'm returning to a state of ignorance or unawareness.

Back to the land where the sun never shines

Returning to a place where happiness or positivity is absent.

I'm going back there and I'm hoping to find

Hoping to rediscover everything as it was in the past.

Everything just as it was before I left it all behind

Left everything behind and seeks a nostalgic return.


I slept at nights there hysterically

Experiencing restless nights with intense emotions.

Twisted and turned but I just couldn't get free

Struggling emotionally but unable to break free.

I opened my eyes, I still couldn't see

Unable to perceive the situation despite waking up.

But I could feel her, China white girl

Can sense a presence, possibly a reference to a person named China white girl.


So I get down on the floor, like I am worshiping God

Symbolic act of submission or reverence, akin to worship.

Burning like a monkey

Intense emotions described metaphorically as burning like a monkey.

Ya, I lay down on the floor, like I am praying to the Lord

Acting in a prayer-like manner, expressing intense emotions.

Burning like a monkey, oh

Continuation of the metaphorical burning sensation.


Ooh, that was a Japanese dream alright

Reflecting on a past experience, possibly a dream, with Japanese elements.

The sound of the storm and the flickering light

Recalling specific sensory details - storm sounds and flickering light.

And the way that her scent used to fill up the night like

Describing the way a scent used to pervade the night.

Like her scent used to fill up the night

Reiterating the impact of the scent on the night atmosphere.


So I get down on the floor, like I am worshiping God

Repeating the symbolic act of worship or submission.

Burning like a monkey

Reiteration of intense emotions described as burning like a monkey.

Ya, I lay down on the floor, like I am praying to the Lord

Continuation of the prayer-like act with strong emotional intensity.

Burning like a monkey

Repeating the metaphorical burning sensation.


Just look at me now, just look at me this way

Presenting the current state, possibly madness or irrationality.

It looks like I am quite insane

Observation of the speaker's apparent insanity.

It looks like I am trying to eat off my face

Describing a self-destructive or irrational behavior.

Looks like I'm going to the land of the blind anyway

Acceptance of going back to a state of ignorance or unawareness.


Back where the sun never shines

Reiterating the return to a place without happiness or positivity.

Back to the land of the blind

Returning to a state of ignorance or unawareness.

Back in a Japanese dream

Repeating the reference to a Japanese dream, possibly nostalgic.


In a Japanese dream

Emphasizing the continuation of the Japanese dream.
