Ayumi Lyrics That Mean Something To You
 
One of the biggest reasons behind my undying love and devotion to Ayu is her lyrics. Her ability to put into words barely tangible feelings and somehow make sense of things I could never hope to express on my own is what got me hooked from the beginning. To this day, when I find myself conflicted or confused emotionally, I put on songs that fit the mood and then go look up the lyrics. Almost every time I find what I am looking for in the first song. So I wanted to share with you guys some of the ones that really hit home for me and I'd love to hear yours and the reasons behind them too.

Quote:

You said "I'm leaving to find myself," and left.
In that memory, and others since, the sea grows wider.
Surely somewhere out there the skies we are looking at
flow together, and are connected.

Far away, from Duty
Someone I once loved said those words to me, or some very similar, and then proceeded to move far away. For reasons that are not all his fault, we chose to stop talking because it was too painful and we both found ourselves lashing out at each other. As time passed, any hopes of reconciliation or contact grew fainter and fainter. Or as the song states, that sea grew wider. Shortly before we ceased communication, we both laid outside under the stars and realized that although we were far, we could see practically the same sky. Looking at the same constellations, with his voice in my ear, he didn't seem all that far away. Now, whenever I get overwhelmed by the bad memories, I try to think of that, as it seems Ayu did as well.

Quote:

When you see someone worse off than you
you feel a little relieved.
When you see someone happier than you
you quickly become impatient.

But sometimes you
realize just how pitiful you are
and you crash into reality.

End of the World, from Duty
I love this lyric for multiple reasons. One, it is such an unadulratedly honest observation. Very candid. And two, it reminds me of another reason I relate to Ayumi so well.. she reminds me a lot of myself. Not just in those words, but in the fact that she is willing to acknowledge those things and bare the truth, no matter how ugly. Those are things no one wants to admit to themself, but they are hard truths we must acknowledge if ever we are to grow. Sometimes I am pathetic, but it's nice to know sometimes she is too.

-The choruses of M.

-all of appears

- Surreal: I can't tell anyone. I want to tell someone, that
that person is more important to me than anyone else.

- missing: my feelings are being controlled by someone else's desires. AND: the first and last time that I saw the real me.

- a song for xx: I was born alone. I'll go on living alone.
I thought that surely that kind of life is appropriate.

-ourselves:
I show myself
Only to you
Which no one in the world knows
But
I may still have
Some secret sides
You have never seen
Which no one in the world knows

- love song: I have no confidence to live a life without love.

I wanted to say fairyland, but it's only the video that speaks to me XD

Days, is this LOVE?, Because of You

Let's just say, I had a crush on someone I knew I couldn't be with lol

Because of You:

Quote:

*My eyes met yours again, we talked a little
My heart throbbed and I hid my feelings behind a smile
As I was afraid I might not be able to go back to the times
When I had not known you
My love grew when we couldn't meet
My heart ached because my voice didn't reach you

Together when... and You were..., particularly this:
Quote:

I thought you were my last person
I wanted my love for you to be my last one
no more words, as well:
Quote:

If this world were split into
winners and losers,
I'd rather be a loser.
I always want to be a loser.

Definitely a lot of songs that speak to me. I guess the most important ones are these:

A Song for XX
HANABI
Don't look back
immature
JEWEL
Dearest
M

Oh, that is another really good one. I forgot how much I relate to this song as well.

Quote:

The wind has already gotten cold
Laughing voices fill the air with white breath
It may be because of the winter
That I feel like crying for nothing

I remember that night when we first met even now
And funny enough, that line is exactly how I am feeling at this time... it is that time of year. :x

Funny enough, the majority of these all tie in to the same experience and memories, but this song just brings me to tears, the whole damn thing. Especially the bolded part.

Quote:

HANABI ~episode II~

The summer has come again and again since then
But why am I looking back upon the past again
Tracing the footprints?

I remember everything even now
Your voice calling my name, your casual habits
I want to forget, and I don't want to forget

Did I choose the right way?
But I keenly understand there is no answer
Whomever I may ask it to

Please tell me some day that you are happy
And smile

I gently lock the memories away
Leaving them to be beautiful

This feeling, this feeling, go up into the sky
And be dispersed beautifully like a firework
