Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
奴らの鼻を明かしてやるぜ
たとえ 火の中 水の中
俺たちゃ とんでもねえー
Nasty guy
What are you up to next?
What are you up to next?
Hey! Boss, funky just a grace
そんなこっちゃ Come and get out
骨の髄までしみ込んだ Whisky,
お前も Come and get on
What are you up to next?
What are you up to next?
捜し当てろ!金のなる木を
今宵咲かせろ 鮮やかな悪の花
街は嵐を恐れ 眠りにつく
What are you up to next?
What are you up to next?
What are you up to next?
What are you up to next?
Mr.Smokey...
The song "You Are An Island" by Dustin Bentall & The Smokes tells a story of a group of friends or gang members who are up to no good. The opening lyrics of the song, "Hey! Mr. Smokey dog 今度こそ 奴らの鼻を明かしてやるぜ" suggest that they are planning to do something. The phrase "明かしてやるぜ" means "to expose" or "to reveal" something that is hidden or secret, which could imply that they are planning to do something clandestine, possibly illegal.
The chorus of the song, which repeats the line "What are you up to next?" is a call to action, asking what their next move or plan is. The lines, "捜し当てろ!金のなる木を 今宵咲かせろ 鮮やかな悪の花" suggest a desire for wealth or riches, with the phrase "金のなる木を" translating to "money tree." They are urging each other to find this "money tree" and make it bloom like a "vivid flower of evil." Overall, the song has a rebellious and edgy tone, with lyrics referencing whiskey and danger, and a chorus that suggests they are always moving forward with their plans.
