Watching flowers just blossomed fall
“Too early, this year” you said,
In disappointment, regret
And you were beautiful
Here we see Hikki walking with someone who expresses their disappointment that the sakura blossoms arrived too early.
The cherry tree blooming season usually happens around August and there are huge festivals all throughout Japan to celebrate the occasion (some events, like the one in Kyoto, can go on for a week or longer)

This takes place in the backdrop of the Occupy Movement and bail-outs, with many on the left being highly critical of America’s form of capitalism leading to an extraordinarily rich upper class. Rich venture capitalists such as Romney were painted as part of an upper class that uses unscrupulous methods to profit, even while many Americans lose their jobs (and allegedly leading to said job losses). This has been seen as “stealing” money from average Americans.
Romney’s saying his tenacity in the business world will lead to him taking the election and that there’s nothing Obama can do about it. It may be an allusion to the 2000 election, when Bush was said to have stolen it via Florida.

“Sticks and Stones” is a traditional children’s nursery rhyme that’s designed to teach kids to ignore verbal insults/bullying:
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.
Rihanna turns this phrase on its head by using it to imply that she enjoys the psycho-physiological pain that is inflicted through BDSM instruments like chains and whips.
Rihanna talked about her enjoyment of BDSM in an interview with Rolling Stone:
Being submissive in the bedroom is really fun. I like to be spanked. Being tied up is fun.
Interestingly, in the same interview, she mentioned how she prefers her partner to use his hands rather than whips and chains:
I like to keep it spontaneous. Sometimes whips and chains can be overly planned – you gotta stop, get the whip from the drawer downstairs. I’d rather have him use his hands.

Dragging a fork across your plate sounds similar to nails across a blackboard, which is itself one of the most horrible sounds you’ll ever hear

These sounds could be symbols of the terror and pain that the infiltration causes in somebody’s mind, personality and brain.
