This song was partially written using W. S. Burroughs cut-up method. All words originated from James Micheners's "Hawaii".
Regarding the "Chinese" line, in hindsight the notion may express a reluctance toward authoritarian control propagated by the Chinese government, as well as our own. In another light, it may express motivational inspiration I have derived from Chinese and other asian classical music.
This line is in no way intended to reflect negatively upon ethnic Chinese people.
lyrics
Dream the good year
Burning stars
Calm crush my will
Cold as you are
Cut me with your mind
Slice like a life
I don't wanna go until the Chinese tell me
Diamond Headed wake up the Golden Valley
