[Translation] Unofficial Party Queen lyrics

[freedreamer]

I dont drink. I dont see why I should be against someone who is enjoying himself/herself.

but yea...Ayu, i dont think i can party with u then.. :/
lol that line is sung as though it feels like it is outcasting those who dont/cant drink though

I mean c'mon, thats an insult lol.

LOL then tweet her [don't really]. I'm sure plenty of people's lives here have been affected by alcoholism but because Ayu released a pop song about drinking and partying (=/= alcoholism) doesn't mean she's insensitive.

Honestly though, I'd be surprised if ayu has ever even heard of Kesha.

She liked Babyface in the 90s :/

Ayu has a divorce, Ayu writes song about having fun.

I approve.

[starlett]

i'm thinking about it as more of a celebration anthem than a drinking anthem.

Be sensitive all you want, but you should also realise she has no idea you even exist so she's not out to insult you personally. So really your only course of action is to cope and get over it.

and srsly are you honestly hurt by that line? Ayu isn't Gretchen Wienersing you or anything by saying the party equivalent of, "YOU CAN'T SIT WITH US!"

Why's it so hard for people to think that she's also speaking in a character of a girl who likes to go out and have fun? idk there's just so many other options to choose from, that just settling on bawwwing about not being ~invited to the party~ seems a bit overdramatic to me.

What is the problem by drinking alcohol and having fun? I don't get it.

She is not sensitive for Ayu's song. She is sensivitve about alcohol in general and said this because she wanted to give a reason why this song feels so shallow for her. It doesn't mean that Ayu is ruining her world right now.

What's wrong with a song being "shallow"? If something being shallow stops you enjoying it... :S Sometimes you want a song that isn't deep, just to dance to, to exercise to, to sing to, anything!

Oh and partying with alcohol IS NOT alcoholism. Being someone myself who has had bad experiences with alcohol it makes me mad when people think partying is the same. Ayu isn't saying you need alcohol to have fun.

To me, the "I won’t drink with you again" part sounds like she's saying... that you should have fun now, drink, forget your problems, but tomorrow, deal with them. If you can't face your problems, and just keep partying, then we can't party together.

^ Well, the lyrics are quite unusual for Ayu. And if you compare it with songs from even her Song for Xx era, it's for an Ayu song 'shallow'

A good thing about these non-shallow lyric past. You can find in even songs like Party Queen 'hidden meanings', because that's how it often works in Ayu's lyrics. Basically she can sing about anything and we could link it easily to a beautiful meaning.

[femtrooper]

I'm 100% cool with this song and the lyrics. They are fun, and Ayu needs to be having fun right now!

[PoetGirl]

I'm all for having fun, I just don't like that part, but whatever. I like the song, I won't take it seriously. When Im listening to western songs with similar subject I take it as a joke, fun or nothing meant. I have to get used to the fact Ayu is joining the crew.

[dawnss]

k I just take it like anything else, it is interpretation and there really is no correct answer to understanding lyrics, differernt people will understand songs differently. As far as Poetgirl's comment goes, like everyone else's it is perfectly valid. Just as much as we like a song because we relate to it, we can also dislike certain aspects of songs. Now some may interpret the song incorrectly, maybe Ayu does not mean what some believe she does.

Regardless, lyrics wise, I thiknk this is a song that is somewhat unexpected. There is nothing wrong with telling people to forget the problems for the time being, but the fact remains that one will still have to deal with them when the morning comes (you can take that metaphorical or literally lol). So yeah I think that if we all consider songs that encourage people to have fun as just being shallow, then maybe we all need to change our frame of reference. Seriously, stay with me for a second, why is it that many consider songs about fun as shallow? Is there anything wrong with having a good time (I am also acknowledging here that individuals can have a good time without alcohol or other mind altering substances)? In fact sometimes, people really do need to forget about their problems because I think many of us tend to dwell in our issues way too much.

Regarding the poster who admitted that they had problems with alcohol, thanks I have seen individuals struggle with addiction (I do not know if you were addicted to alcohol). And the poster is right, having a few drinks at a party every once in a while does not constitute one as an alcoholic, when someone gets to the point though to where they have difficultly functioning in their day to day life then there is a huge chance that they may be seriously struggling.

Ok sorry for the essay lol, because I really need to stop procrastinating and get back to my homework for my historical writing class lol.

it's fun stuffs =) can't wait for the new single/album

This is what I wanted to say. You just said it better.

The song is supercatchy and I love it, but the lyrics remind me more of a Ke$ha song than anything else.. :/

I think you shouldn't take it personal, it's just a song. I don't think she would reject a fan just because he/she doesn't drink anything. She's simply stating she wants to party.

On the other hand, i would see this as a reflection on how she's trying to deal with a divorce; it must be pretty tough for her and this is her way to try to make this process a little less painful, from what i see. No reason to be upset,imo.

Personally, i don't love neither hate these lyrics. I need to hear the song so i can give an opinion.

[happiholic★]

These lyrics are too PG to be Ke$ha lyrics. She talks about much dirtier things in her songs.
