[Minttulatte]

[Delicious n Bold]

Can't wait till Christmas every day until Christmas!
So far I've been good, I started from October 31st. It's basically Christmas (American thanksgiving doesn't count for me. It's just an excuse to go shopping).

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

^They're already putting up Christmas decorations and items in stores like Target, so I think you're OK. lol

There are Christmas decorations and candy everywhere in Finland too, so it's OK to listen Can't Wait Till Christmas like you've never heard it before.

"In reality, the deepest love isn't perfect; and we can't give it to anyone but ourselves."

I love this quote from the "Show Me Love (Not a Dream)" lyrics. Hikki is wise beyond her years.

[Minttulatte]

^That quote is also very true♥

[NintendoHTF1242]

That quote is beautiful. Utada is lyfe.

[hayasaki]

Utada has got some really deep messages on her lyrics, i guess my favorite one is in dareka no negai ga blah blah blah:

"The more i wish for you happiness, the more selfish I become."

Even now, i really can't put these words on layman's term. but they're beautiful.

[bluegie]

(To me) the best part from Dareka is:

誰かの願いが叶うころ あの子が 泣いているよ

[amorphose]

"The tears I cried are my freedom... The tears I held pack are a part of me I would hate to lose."

^Another favorite. From Fight The Blues.

[Minttulatte]

^I can relate to that sentence well.

[emi♡]

omg. fuck having discussions lol We should just have updates that are random hikki quotes.

So we can all contemplate the higher meanings of being human on a regular basis.

[amorphose]

I totally just found some old singable english lyrics I wrote for a couple of Hikki songs!

"Light" (this one is supposed to be like the original Hikari lyrics)

Spoiler:

No matter the time, no matter the place
We're always together; you're right here by my side.
The light from inside "you" finds me in the middle of my darkest nights
& Everything's alright

Sit quietly under the dark, pale sky and
Count the stars, yeah, all night with me, baby

Would a promise just freak you out now?
I just want to put my wish in words
I'll prove it; how much I really do want to be with you
And you'll see it was always me and you, always us, all along

No matter the time, no matter the place
We're always together; you're right here by my side.
The light from inside "you" finds me in the middle of my darkest nights
& Everything's alright

Why destiny (When you turn my way) plays tricks on us, I don't know
What matters most (Take it all away) is that my road led back to you

Thinking too hard about the future
I don't wanna miss what it's front of my face now
I want to give you everything inside of me
Baby, give this a chance and together we'll paint all our dreams

No matter the time, no matter the place
We're always together; you're right here by my side.
The light from inside "you" finds me in the middle of my darkest nights
& Everything's alright

Let go, let go of everything that you're afraid of
Fears don't matter anymore
Just turn off that TV and only look at me tonight
'Cuz nothing's like before

No matter the time, no matter the place
We're always together; you're right here by my side.
The light from inside "you" finds me in the middle of my darkest nights
& Everything's alright

Let go, let go of everything that you're afraid of
Fears don't matter anymore
Just turn off that TV and only look at me tonight
'Cuz nothing's like before

"Goodbye Happiness" (this one has references to other Utada songs)

Spoiler:

Constantly abroad, trying not to get too lost
My head spins, heart stops, I can't even see to those far off summer days
Memories resurfacing, sakura trees still wavering
In time, will it become plain to see that they never meant a thing?
In a dream, you once said, it was all in my head
Well I've got news for you, I'm still blue
So goodbye loneliness,
Light a cigarette to help my nerves unwind
Sing the same old song to help my soul wake up
It's hard to try to keep on keep tryin'
So goodbye happiness,
Feels like you just came, but now you've gotta go
Tell me when the torrent thrashing in my heart will subside
Would you look at only me, and love me?
Love me, love me
Path forward's hard to see, grasping for that fated red seam
Hold me up and let me see what was never meant to be
When the sky's painted grey, you retreat far away
Underneath your lilac veil of hearts
So tell me why again,
Why does the Earth spin and the sun shine bright?
Why do willows weep and why do songbirds cry?
I want to know the things I shouldn't know
So goodbye innocence,
Feels like you just came, but now you've gotta go
Is it still possible to return to that carefree place?
Baby, smile just for me and kiss me
Kiss me, kiss me
Oh, my world is turning upside down, upside down
Darling, darling, darling, darling
I wanna sing just for you, only you
So let me see you now,
Tell you all the things that I've come to learn,
Show you all the places where my heart was burned,
It's not okay but I wouldn't change a thing
So goodbye happiness,
Feels like you just came but now you've gotta go
This feeling I've been clinging to, it's time to let it go
But my wish is still for you to kiss me
So goodbye happiness, lonelieness
So goodbye happiness, love me, loneliness
So goodbye happiness, loneliness

& last but not least a short poem I wrote inspired by the lyrics of Take 5:

"Être comme le ciel"

Spoiler:

Sunrise to sunset, my soul is swept away
Void of all hope and hopelessness, alike
Craving to be something more, graspable just like the sky

Sunset to sunrise, my mind becomes content
With no need for success or failure, alike
The mask is laid upon my face, invisible just like the sky

Sunrise and sunset, soft rays upon my face
I no longer know them, past start and past end
I wish that I had wished to be, full of light just like the sky

The SEL's could probably use a little tweaking, but I'd like your guys' thoughts if you care to share them! (: I know I did a Prisoner of Love one too that was pretty decent. I'm trying to find that one as well.

[CoriKaru]

I did stuff like that too before my harddrive ate it all up. Now I've lost all motivation.

I had an especially good one for "Making Love".

Hurts knowing I've lost it.

My lyrics never had anything to do with the songs either. I just stole the melody.

[Maemi]

I always get teary-eyed because of Prisoner of Love lyrics

[Minttulatte]

^It's not a bad thing. I cry at Prisoner of Love every single time. Especially that Stay with me part always tears me up.

I never wrote any new lyrics to Hikki's song. I did do that for Kuu and Ayu few years ago but I never even thought of doing so with Hikki's amazing songs. I know that I used to write very Hikki inspired lyrics back in 2006 before I started listening to Ayu's music. Those were awesome but because English sucked at the time, these days I have no idea what I was trying to say. -.-

[tenshi no hane]

These are my favorite lines of hers:

"We weren't entrusted with swords to hear them clash. How can we protect anyone under such a contradiction?"

and

"You don't have to try to be accepted by everyone; we have all been given a blade called individuality"

(both from DEEP RIVER)

[amorphose]

^Oooh, those are both really good ones! Deep River is a beautiful song!

Also from Deep River
"We don't have to accept everything as freely as the name's we were given."

[CoriKaru]

Favorites Lyric:

"Sexy Stiletto Pumps, Tight Jeans, No Panties On, Oops! Did I Turn You On?! I only came to Pop My Body."

She's a GOD.
