bottomless genes
all over the body, let's kiss
and churn the wounds

Inner self is calling from the DNA
I want to lick you around... seductive welcoming

as if sheltered in the bed of the nepenthes
as if sheltered in the bed of the nepenthes

I can't think of anything else
I can't be bound by love
there's little difference between reason and lies
when we've obliterated them, then let's die.

Inner self is calling from the DNA
Pouring my honey to you all night long
(Pouring you, honey !)

Inner self is calling from the DNA
Pouring my honey to you all night long
(Pouring you, honey !)

Inner self is calling from the DNA
I want to lick you around... seductive welcoming

as if sheltered in the bed of the nepenthes
as if sheltered in the bed of the nepenthes
as if sheltered in the bed of the nepenthes
as if sheltered in the bed of the nepenthes

Translator's Notes: The Nepenthes has two meanings, one is a man eating plant. The other is a woman who, like a man eating plant is very demanding in bed, set to devour her lover. The lyrics here are fairly confusing. But we detect strong sexual meaning implied in the Japanese where as the English is very blatant. Our interpretation is that he can think of nothing but his sexual desires and refuses to fall in love and let that dictate his life. Is he talkign about destroying the difference between reason and lying or the reason and lies themselves.
