he explains the meaning here http://www.nme.com/blog/index.php?blog=125&p=7814&more=1&c=1 its about japan reverting to older culture by kicking out foregners and giving up their guns. based on a history book titled Giving Up The Gun.

I am poo-pooing your analysis....and every interpretation that mentions Japan. This song is NOT about Japan. I may not know what the frig it's about, but it's definitely NOT about Japan either past or present. (Women are always correct so just give up and concede:)
