pride lyrics and Lucky lyrics
 
i read someone compare ayu's pride lyrics to britney's lucky lyrics, so i thought i'd post both lyrics to compare...

PRIDE by ayu

"The freedom you have is so dazzling"
Said a girl
"Even if I can't find the meaning of my existence?"
I answered

Supposing man is a creature
Who is always asking for things he doesn't have
Ah, what is it
That we truly want to have?

And then
The girl just struggled and struggled
And when she noticed she was filled with emptiness
She had a new understanding

We always open the window to tomorrow
By dreaming
Ah, though we know
Nothing is certain in this world

Flowers are surely waiting for us
In a place we haven't yet seen
Before we are used to being bored
And our time passes quickly

Even if it's the end of the world
Even if people say with laughter that we are trying in vain
Let's go together
Because nothing is so fearful as giving up



LUCKY by britney spears

This is a story about a girl named Lucky…

Early morning, she wakes up
Knock, knock, knock on the door
It's time for makeup, perfect smile
It's you they're all waiting for
They go…
"Isn't she lovely, this Hollywood girl?"
And they say…

[CHORUS:]
She's so lucky, she's a star
But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart, thinking
If there's nothing missing in my life
Then why do these tears come at night

Lost in an image, in a dream
But there's no one there to wake her up
And the world is spinning, and she keeps on winning
But tell me what happens when it stops?
They go…
"Isn't she lovely, this Hollywood girl?"
And they say…

[Repeat CHORUS]

"Best actress, and the winner is…Lucky!"
"I'm Roger Johnson for Pop News standing outside the arena waiting for Lucky"
"Oh my god…here she comes!"

Isn't she lucky, this Hollywood girl?
She is so lucky, but why does she cry?
If there's nothing missing in her life
Why do tears come at night?


hmm, i don't think pride reminds me at all of lucky... :) so just wanted to know what you guys think... are the pride lyrics like or remind you at all of lucky?

Pride describe ppl trying so hard to get famous (I guess)
while Lucky is telling how a life of a celeb is not much different with ordinary ppl (they both hurt, not always happy as they seen on tv)

I donno... Ayu's lyrics are definately more poetic and convey more hope and strenght while Britney's is more "it sucks to be a star" song.

ohsixthirty 14th December 2005 03:02 PM

don't really see any correlation honestly. they both mention a girl in the beginning, buts thats about it.

I used to love "Lucky" when I was younger. Now I hate Brittany's guts, lol. Anyway I agree with touchedstar above me.

^ I'm with SheFliesHigher and touchedstar on this ... don't seem to find any relationship between the lyrics at all

:yes I agree. Couldn't have said it better myself.

Brittany 14th December 2005 08:14 PM

Ayu is a better writer, singer and everything else in my opinion :D :yes

everlastingRAINBOW 14th December 2005 10:54 PM

They're both just angsty, that's it XD lol

Kikaru 14th December 2005 11:55 PM

they both has similiar themes, but Pride's lyrics are more questioning freedom while Lucky is basically saying how little freedom sucks.

i dont see any related things

I think that PRIDE is about two people (or perhaps more) trying to find a way in the world that is closed them out. So, it is in a sense about people trying to find a place in the world (e.g. becoming a star and gaining notoriety and the adoration of many people) while others are trying to find a place after having become a star.

LUCKY, on the other hand, is about finding such fame and being unhappy with the unforeseen consequences of fame.

no relation in my opinion.
