story for you:

another singer releases a song with fairly deep and profound lyrics, and the artist's message and the songs meaning puzzled the fans, so they debated at great length on the official forum. There was much discussion and various people were convinced that their interpetation was THE right one. Eventually, the artist posted (as it was the official forum he visited it often and posted occasionally, and was particularly interested to see what his fans thought of his new songs). He said, "right, sorry, I can't lurk here any longer, I've got to leap in and tell you how completely WRONG you are, what this song is about is this:..."

The artist is the only person who truly knows the message and meaning, as it is their creation, their idea. and any other interpretations are wrong. I'm not saying idealist's is wrong, not at all, I think he may be very close to ayu's true intended meaning. unfortunately for us, ayu will probably not give away her true meaning, and so we can only try to guess. but the point of this post is to argue that interpretations can be wrong.

The only time I can see where ,pre than one interpretation can be right, is if there was no meaning decided upon in the first instance, and they just cobbled together a lot of random, seemingly meaningful imagery, without any thought or design. I think you'll agree ayu is not the kind of person to do this. which means there are definitely wrong interpretations of this PV and Song.

(to repeat though, before love appears or whoever completely misunderstands me again, I am not saying Idealist's interpretation is wrong, in fact I think it may be very close. but that doesn't mean that it is right, evenif we all think it's right, ayu might read it and say "er...no.")

We'll probably never know.

But I'm happy to try to guess.
