coming from my perspective,
when I heard lyrics of Pride the first time..
I felt she it was a protest song..
It's maybe a really good meaning... saying that before we succumb to suicide (implied,)
As many japanese do, because of pressure of our society to be one group, and not do your own thing,
She is saying like "what do we really want?" and "why do we stop laughing, even if someone tells us to?"

Even no more words carries this kind of meaning... where she is saying that she would rather be one who loses in this world.. and how we must continue to sacrifice to continue walking in the world.

Lines in endless sorrow, maybe a lot of End of the World, some lines in Surreal, saying be who you are, and ESPECIALLY too late... I suggest those. especially in too late where she says like... there is more than honor or money in life. uu ahaha.

I hope you can accomplish your project well!!
