Unhappy AYU'S PRIDE

in my opinion,PRIDE is such a song just goes for those school chorus. everytime my CD missunderstood reaches this song, i just skip without hesitation. anyway,i'd talk a little bout its lyrics that ayu wrote. i thought she might be too weird. people are in envy of her freedom. so she answers:"doesnt it matter that i couldnt find the meaning of living?" i feel so cold~ on the contrary, i've found the meaning of living and i'm just struggling for freedom. it seems that ayu has wasted her freedom that didnt comes easy! why does she doubt whether it's right of us human beings to persue things we dont have all the time? or,how can we improve ourselves?
well then,at last, i'd shout out: CREA,come back! HAL,come back! single with remixes,come back! trance album,come back!

Not sure what you mean but I'll have to say usually, no one are COMPLETELY satisfied with the things they have... Usually, everyone envies (some don't) someone else of what they have... IMO, Ayu ALREADY has freedom (according to what you said) and didn't realise other people has been searching for freedom for a long time... THat's what I think... And as I said, not sure what u meant..

Btw, Pride is a nice song..

I never liked this song as much as the other on the (m)u album untill I saw it live.

<3 Pride

o__o Your post is very confusing.
"Doesnt it matter that i couldnt find the meaning of living?" is a very good line too. Overall, I love Pride's lyrics. It's very meaningful.

^^perhaps it was just Geo.

I think it's good that Ayu portrays her love of American culture. It shows us more of who she is.

basically, the poster is saying that he doesn't like the lyrics to pride since s/he feels that ayu shouldn't be debating the meaning of her existance with all the freedom that she has--the same freedom that ordinary people struggle to obtain. He feels that ayu is wasting her time by debating such questions since ayu worked hard for her position and should enjoy where she is. Finally, the poster doesn't like how ayu seems to "judge" us when she questions why ordinary people strive for material things or how we should be improving ourselves.

Better? I don't know whether some things are what the poster meant, but I tried to read inbetween the lines as little as possible so I can give a clearer/unbiased picture..

How does she have more freedom than ordinary people?

True. We don't have paperazzis follow us around. We don't have people scruitinize our every move. We don't have tabloids making fake rumours about us. Not at least to the extent she faces. I mean, when was the last time someone posted something nationwide about you getting drunk in a gay bar?

Personally, I love Pride because it's not a mellow ballad. It's strong and powerful.

What?

Whatever you're trying to say, that's actually one of the few tracks I actually bother to listen to on that CD.

maybe she wanted to tell people to keep their pride as high as they could no matter what happen, instead of herself, can't get a 100% freedom or pride??
her (miss)understood album is full of encouraging kind of songs..
like ayu has ever said on an interview on CD DATA or somewhere..
she said (miss)understood means someone who understand others problems...
she wanted to help other people but she can't help herself, like getting herself freedom????

woww..am i too far?

I think the topic creator meant freedom as in material freedom. Ayu can do anything she wants with regards to money..

After that rather confusing little read, my only reponse is:

Why is it bad that she is writing such lyrics? It's the nature of "ordinary people" to had preduice against celebrities thinking that have everything and should be grateful for it, but they can still have "ordinary people" visions like us to.

The problem is, many people like to read lyrics with a bias view. If they don't like the song or the current state of the artist, it's unlikely that they will accept to lyrics as well... (whenever I read her lyrics, I amazed say how awesome it is, when in reality, it's not always the case )
