Elli und ihre Mutter sind offenbar nach Tel Aviv geflohen, damals eine relativ neue jüdische Stadt im britischen Mandatsgebiet Palästina.

Der Name Tel Aviv (hebr. תֵּל־אָבִיב) heißt auf Deutsch “Hügel des Frühlings”. Dieser poetisch klingende Name wurde stammt aus Hesekiel 3,15 und wurde von Nachum Sokolow für seine hebräische Übersetzung von Herzls Altneuland als Titel gewählt und schließlich als Name für die Stadt. Er symbolisiert den Aufbruch ins Neue (“Frühling”) und das Aufbauen auf der Tradition (“Hügel”), ein Gegensatzpaar, das auch für dieses Lied tragend ist.

So sah Tel Aviv in den 1930ern, also in etwa zur Handlungszeit dieses Liedes aus:

Eine Anspielung auf das Märchen “Hans und die Bohnenranke” von Joseph Jacobs aus dem Jahr 1890, in dem der arme Protagonist Hans sein letztes Hab und Gut gegen fünf magische Bohnen tauscht, aus denen über Nacht ein überdimensional Bohnenranke bis in den Himmel wächst.

In the song following “Sushi Nation”, X & Buk Lau get into a bit of an argument into the quality of the aforementioned preceding song.

Initally disregarded, Buk Lau charges right into his first verse addressing the doubters, haters, and uneducated people who misconceive him as a racist. Then, he targets X himself.

X, in his response, asserts his heterosexuality via sex-with-dike before firing shots at Buk Lau. He throws a few words in there that would get the nearest LGBT community to stage a protest outside his home.

After the end of his verse, Buk Lau cuts him off, before both silently agree on the beef’s gayness and end it, not before disclaiming that they’re not homophobes themselves.

This song isn’t meant to be against gay people, nor is it an anthem for gay rights. It’s not an argument, in itself, for or against the word. It simply is. In a way, Buk Lau and X accusing each other of being gay (both are not) is a reflection of the labeling going on in this society.

That said, trying to end the liberal usage of the word “gay” is like trying to restrict the usage of “nigga” back to being used exclusively to refer to black people (and it’s not going to happen).

But writing this shit is fucking gay, I’m done for now.
