I can see how these lyrics can apply to any of these things, which is probably why it's called something as all-encompassing as "Life".
That's a very good point. 07 was one of so much change all at once for her, I can definitely see how not only it would be horrible or at least painful, but almost humbling for Ayu, too. To be honest going through even *one* of those changes is a pretty big deal, but to have them all happen one after another is quite awful. I'm just glad she's able to take this kind of stance on it and show it in her music.
