Etter unionsoppløsningen med Sverige tok prins Carl av Danmark navnet Haakon og ble norsk konge.
Kong Haakon sin kone og norges dronning var Maud Charlotte Mary Victoria fra Storbritannia. Deres sønn Olav og sønnesønn Harald ble senere Norges neste konger.

Don Martin bruker dette til å sette spørsmål om nasjonalitet egentlig finnes og styrker påstanden denne sangen handler om:

Du er ikke hvor du er fra. du er det du gjør

Rakim er en amerikansk rapper som ofte blir sett på som en av pionerene innenfor avanserte rhyme schemes eller rime-teknikker.
Don Martin trekker paralleller mellom sine og Rakims avanserte rim.

Harakiri, eller Seppuku, var en form for rituelt selvmord som direkte oversatt betyr “buk-skjæring”. Det ble utført av japanske samuraier.
Don Martin forklarer at å gå i mot han er som å utføre selvmord.

Man kan også antyde at Don Martin krever respekt. Seppuku ble for det meste utført for å vise respekt ovenfor sin herre (Don Martin i dette tilfellet).

These lines tells us of the first time the narrator and his wife made love. They so happened to do it outside under a tree.
To mark this relationship the narrator carved into the tree, a common way to show off or remember ones relationship.

These carvings also work as a metaphor for the relationship. “And that carving got harder to read from far away” explains how the love and passion faded, just like the carving. However, it never dissappeared.

These two lines conclude the song. What might have sounded like a man talking to her wife was actually his ghost.
The wife killed the narrator, but he explains how he doesn’t blame her. He takes the responsibilty himself by telling us how he cheated and “ruined” the family.

These lines explain a search for one’s self. The wording here is quite interesting as Sadistik talks about his “true” self in 3rd person. This gives him the ability to describe himself and what he feels he is hiding from an outside point of view.

A clever little play on words here.

• Your body is made of cells, which are living organisms.

• Cells can also refer to prison or dungeon cells, which are in fact “made to keep you caged”.

Sadistik poses the idea that you are trapped in your own body. Whether you believe in souls or not it is a fact that the only thing stopping you from reaching all your dreams are the incapabilities of your physical body.

Using a double entendre or an extended metaphor if you would. It can mean either:

• I compare Jams to a pretty or cute animal caught in a cage (see cage, skin). He is about to get skinned and murdered.

• Jams is like a gay (or fashionable) person in a jail (see cage, gay skins).
  I continue this metaphor on the second line:
  “drop the soap just for fun” refers to how Jams wants to be raped by a man in prison. For most people this is a rather unpleasurable experience.
  “where you’re the young one” is a take on Jams notorious pedophilia disses. This time he is in jail and all his sexual interactions will be with grown men rather than children.

Being fashionable in prison or being pretty while captured is irrelevant in the same way that Jams is irrelevant in a battle.
