The artist is the only person who truly knows the message and meaning, as it is their creation, their idea. and any other interpretations are wrong.

It's their creation and their idea, but once they expose it to public, they can't force people to see it their way. That's one of the things about art. You saying that, almost sounds as if ayu hates a certain song she made, everybody will have to hate it, because she is the creator and she hates it, and the only reaction people can have to it is hate, not love, which is nonsense (in fact she doesn't like Endless sorrow, while many of her fans do). Who knows if Leonardo made Monalisa in order to have the dubious smile? Maybe he painted her just to paaint some weird woman without caring about the smile , but then other people noticed it and nowadays the painting is appreaciated because of that dubious smile. What if he was revived and said "gosh, I didn't really even attempt to do a dubious smile in this painting". Would the dubious smile be taken away? That's the great thing about art. It's somebody's creation? yes, but it can be appreaciated in different ways by different people, and as long as it is the artists call to have its work exposed to public, the public can react to that piece of work the way they want, not the way the artist wants. If the artist doesn't put any bounds or any clear direction as to where they want their work to follow, they should expect anything from it. That's ayu cases. Her lyrics are vague and unclear, which leaves the person reading them to take their own conclusions. ayu probably knows what she wanted to mean, but since she doesn't tell us, we are left to wonder that by ourselves.
