The meaning of "JEWEL"

I also query myself about the true meaning of JEWEL. Is it true that this JEWEL means something PRECIOUS, rather than JEWELLERY??~

yeah she sings "My precious treasure" that's like "my precious jewel" and she's obviously singing about someone dear to her in this song

Tomoya was her HONEY, now he's also her JEWEL.

Unless this song is dedicated to someone else that she cares about very much.

The song's about obsessive-compulsivenes:

Quote:
Under the grey and square sky
Is filled with all kinds of desire today
But I don't lose sight of the light among them
And can walk, looking forward
Because you always show me
That there remains a purity even in a corner of this city
She's in an horrible mood, obsessive with the desire of acquiring a new brilliant jewel for her collection. She's just seem in an ad the new jewel store that has just recently be open in the corner of the city, and there she can ease her hunger for getting the newest item for her material needs.

Quote:
Breathing calmly, I looked at you
Who had fallen asleep, so exhausted
The sweet, unprotected profile
That no one in the world but me knows
There she is, looking at the shining jewel resting lonely in its case, ready to soon be bought and make a part of her collection. She has such an egoistic desire of having that damn jewel only for her and her only.

Quote:
One day when the sunlight poured and the wind blew gently
As if it were nothing special
I felt alone that something was changing in me
Slowly, firmly and surely

Though I wasn't sad at all, tears fell down
Because your feelings sank painfully into
The scar in the depth of my heart
And changed it into tenderness

If you come across deep sorrow
I wish you will share it with me
I'll be able to do anything for the smile
My precious treasure
My precious treasure
That's the feeling an obsessive compulsive person has when they finally get what they wanted so much. It's such a touching song

^Hahahaha, you're awesome.

If you're to make your own interpretation I think that using evoluseans translation would be a better bet, it's a direct translation and not already interpreted, like masas.

Could the JEWEL be her... baby ?

Quote:

Who had fallen asleep, so exhausted
This line could refer to a baby's...nap.

Quote:
The sweet, unprotected profile
That no one in the world but me knows
= she hasn't announced she was pregnant yet.

Quote:

Slowly, firmly and surely
Yes it takes 9 months, and pregnancy brings physical and mental changes...not to mention a future mother is the only one to feel these changes.

Quote:
My precious treasure
My precious treasure
That line screams "BABY!BABY!" to me, LOL.

GOD! you guys couldn't stay out saying she's pregnant....
But it's not impossible though...If it is I wonder how's the baby looks like

It's hard to say, but she really needs a rest and a holiday...I see her been workin' too much

JEWEL is great, luv the lyrics...it's so...Me, I mean match it with my mood today

THX

Nah, she'll probably go on hiatus for a year due to 'personal problems'. :|

The dogs are probably going to die pretty soon, they've been around for so many years already.
