For me, it's mostly about the language patterns she uses, it's really casual, like talking to a close friend.

Also, the part which reads about characters in books groveling on the ground and snot dripping from their nose is very typical Japanese manga, so it just made me feel that this song was written for a friend of hers who understands the context, ie a Japanese.

And both choruses just reminds me so much of Max's drunken tweet incidents. In S Cawa, she said that she wrote this song while on the plane to London, so it was around the time frame when that twitter war thing happened. She also said that she wrote this song together with "Return Road", and called it a strange combination. Since (imo) Return Road reeks of Mannie/divorce, what she said in S Cawa makes sense. Like, writing a song about your divorce, then the next one about your favorite boss would seem mighty strange. ^^;

Anyways, it's all just my speculation, so do take with a pinch of salt.
