Whats No way to say, about?
 

The old wound left on me
Begins to ache
I hide my trembling heart again
And pretend to smile

Even in my age now, I'm the same as before
As timid as before
I only learn how to pretend to be strong

Though my heart is filled with feelings to convey
You see, I can't change them into words well
If I had not met you
I wouldn't even have such an embarrassing pain

Little by little, I've come to realize
That my past never heals
And that it's no use
Fearing the future I can't refuse

How much more courage do I need
To say with my head held high
"This is the only important thing to me" ?

(*) Though I have firm feelings
You see, I can't change them into words as usual
Everyone is living this way
With feelings they can't express

Though my heart is filled with feelings to convey
You see, I can't change them into words well
If I had not met you
I wouldn't even have such an embarrassing pain and ...

(*) repeat


I guess I get that she is no longer with someone, and that she has learned to pretend to be happy like everyone else and if she had not ever met this person that might have broke her heart she would not have such a pain.


what is she fearing of the future?

"Though my heart is filled with feelings to convey
You see, I can't change them into words well "

cant change what feelings into words, pain???


"How much more courage do I need
To say with my head held high
"This is the only important thing to me" ? "

whats the only thing important to her?

I think the only thing important to her is supposed to be unknown but... *shrugs*

I always thought the feelings were love or pain. =/ Of course, I'm not a good interpreter. So. *makes quiet exit*

i'm guessing it was an embarrassing break up or something?
she keeps saying "embarrassing pain" and stuff, and usually
when one's embarrassed, you can't support it with confidence.


she's saying she can't turn her feelings into words well.
and i'm guessing "this is the only thing important to me"
is like, her love for him or somethin', that's all i can think of.

I could be wrong, but I heard that this song is about her father...

Like Memorial address... I'm not sure though honestly.

I need to make a thread someday about how the Memorial address album connects to her father. I've heard people say she "found out something", but no one ever elaborates.

i always interpreted it as her trauma from her childhood because of her parents (specifically her dad)

it's all up to your own imagination and interpretation.

I always interpreted it as her loving somebody from afar but unable to confess her feelings. :shrug

I also think that song's about her father.

About "the feelings": If the song's about her father, I think "the feelings" are all the feelings connected with his disappearance. Love, hatred, pain... Everything ayu would like to tell him, but can't find the right words.

"This is the only important thing to me" is rather vague. The question is to what part of the song the lyrics connect to. The first stanza and pre-chorus connect to each other, so it can be assumed that the second stanza and pre-chorus link to each other directly, too?

I think it's about the feelings she needs to put into words to let them reach the person who hurt her and so she'll feel relieved and free from that pain...

I think it might be about her father too
who knows...
well that's what I think

Yeah, I think it's about her dad. I read somewhere (wikipedia?) that Father Christmas on the video had something to do with this dad-thing, but I dunno if that's true. And then there's the part "If I had not met you I wouldn't even have such an embarrassing pain". So that would mean that she has met him, or it's just that she still can remember him when she was very young. But that's just IF the song is about her father.

no way to say is one of my favorite lyrics because it describes me most xD

Well to me, I think she's trying to find her true self. She has so many feelings inside her and because of her past, she feels embarassed? I don't know. Because some lines says I have to let myself know This is what's most important to me and how shes saying even in my age now, I'm still the same, as timid as before makes me think it's about her talking about her expressing herself.
