Nothing will become of our lives if we fight lost battles
Yeah, Can We Go Back has some great (darker) lyrics and it's one of the reasons why I love this song so much!
She also refers to her older works with meantioning the butterflies coming back ("Can we go back to the way we used to be?
The butterflies will return right now"), overcoming the hard times with the scandal for good and all- at least that's how I interpret it, having in my mind what she said about it in Koda Reki.
One of her most personal songs.
Outside Fishbowl (and Inside Fishbowl to some extent) has great ones as well; love the symbols she's using there.

Spoiler:
"Please! Just let me yell
Until my voice withers away

[...]

I want to leave the fishbowl, growing old
I don’t want to be hindered
Because I am meant to fly
It won’t end like this
I wanna fly, I wanna fly

On the night when the sun sleeps
And loses its glow...
I’m gonna try!"


Ayu_Love, I never thought about Moon Crying like that! Though she did connect it herself with the scandal.
And isn't there that message at the start of the DVD of the single before Moon Crying?
