Wow. That last comment is marginally offensive.

I don't think this song is literally about taking a Japanese lover. I mean maybe it is, but it seems to really be about being somewhere else in the world and feeling completely alone and unable to relate both literally and metaphorically. The "we" is clearly NOT a happy pair.
