2) Penicillin were a German band (based in the town of Kottweiler) rooted in jazz-rock.
Formed in 1971 by Fred Felder (vocals) and Waldemar Ruth (drums), they had changed a lot over the years before their debut recordings. This was down to the fact that the band was often a large metamorphic troupe of up to 12 or 15 musicians, based around a pretty constant core of five, and that they'd experimented with everything from Hörspiel through to classical, combining such elements into their own unique sound.

Riso no Shita
Penicillin Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

何度も深く棘が刺さり
君は泣いていた
脈打つ傷は僕好みの理想の花びら
甘い香り甘い汗そっとなぞる
君だけの舌触りそれだけがリアル
本能が支配する獣の僕をあげよう

プライド恋愛疲れすぎた歪んだ現実

演技をやめて抱きしめたら
理想の摩擦が
僕を包み揺れるモザイク
もっと強く
絡みつく体温は究極のリアル
やわらかな裏側で
混ざり合う遺伝子達
感じているよ運命と生命を

隔離された暗い部屋で
膨強した舌と舌が
暴走した愛の為に
敏感にもつれ合う
君だけの舌触り僕だけのリアル
本能で抱き合えばよみがえる獣の夢
毒の愛蜜の味真実の覚醒
肌色のライオンに

殺された僕のモラル
理想の僕をあげよう

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Penicillin's song "Riso no Shita" speak about a complicated and intense relationship filled with pain, desire, and a longing for something real. The song begins by describing how the singer repeatedly feels the sting of thorns, causing the person they are singing to cry. The wounds pulsate, becoming the ideal petals for the singer, and they gently trace the sweet scent and sweat on the person's body, emphasizing the unique sensation that makes it feel real. The lyrics suggest that the instinctual and primal nature within the singer will dominate and consume them.

The second verse reflects on the exhaustion and distortion of the singer's reality due to their pride and overindulgence in love. They express a desire to stop pretending and embrace their ideal friction, which encompasses them like a mosaic. They yearn for a stronger connection, as the intertwined warmth of bodies represents the ultimate reality. The lyrics also hint at the mingling of DNA, suggesting a deeper understanding and appreciation for the intertwined destiny and life they share.

In the isolated and dark room, the passion between the two intensifies. The tongues become swollen and tangled, driven by an uncontrollable desire for love. The unique sensation of the person's tongue and the singer's own reality intertwine, leading to the revival of their beastly dream through instinctual embrace. The lyrics touch upon themes of toxic love, the taste of nectar, and the awakening of truth. The singer symbolizes their lost morality, killed by the skin-colored lion, and offers their ideal self to the person they are singing to.
