Ayu's most touching lyrics ★
 

Has a thread like this ever been posted before? I'd like to start it (again)... that's ok, right? Maybe it'll be interesting...

I guess everyone agrees that Miss Ayumi is a great songwriter, so I'd like to discuss here about your fav lyrics and most touching lines from them.
Say why do you like that lyric, a specific line or so, if you wanna post it, just don't post the whole lyric (or use the spoiler).

As much as i can remember, I really liked Angel's Song lyric XDD

Escaping into nights, I told myself
That I was not at all alone
But after all, it revealed
Nothing but my loneliness day by day

On my way home from the bustle of the city
Though it was no different from any other day
I thought I would repeat such pattern of life
And tears welled up suddenly

Somehow, I found myself in it, and it became at the moment my fav Ayu's lyric, despite the song is so happy.

Of course, ASFXX. It's sad, kinda depressing, and i liked it.

The sun will be rising soon, I've gotta go
I can't stay forever in the same place

Endless Sorrow has a beautiful lyric...really touching.

If you were all alone
And found yourself unable to see
If, even then, you still
Would try to move forward

monochrome is my fav Ayu's song, and i like its lyric, nothing really special but still nice.

What I wanted to be
Was me being with you
What I wanted to have
Was your heartily smiling face

RAINBOW reminds me of my life, i guess that's the reason why i like it so much.

I was forgiven by forgiving many things
Including my childhood so long ago
I was healed, though I intended to heal
I've just noticed, in the way
That I was saved by love
Though I tried to keep love away

winding road - the first time i read it, i really was speechless XD Somehow it makes me cry.


The footprints I left behind
Are distorted and muddy
But I don't regret them at all
I'm proud of them from the bottom of my heart

Yes, this is the road I chose

That's all for now :)

Endless sorrow is one of the most touching IMO, but she has so many.

The last two passages of M too are extremely beautiful

Everything in Memorial address (take 2 version)

A Song for XX:

"I was born alone. I'll go on living alone. I thought that surely that kind of life was appropriate."

Makes me cry every time.

ASFXX

I had no place to live. I couldn't find one.
I don't know if I could have any hope for the future.

hiksss....

Not exactly touching but.. i love the lyrics for these songs :

- SEASONS
- evolution
- UNITE!
- Moments
- walking proud
- ASFXX
- RAINBOW

Extracted from Moments
If my life is transient like a flower
I'll be in full bloom by your side
And after watching your smile
I'll fall alone, quietly

Extracted from walking proud
The sky I looked up at was beautiful
I thought of you
I wished I could walk with firm steps
Facing forward like you

Wow... basically a lot of her songs have touching lyrics... but I guess I could categorize them!

Life:
Life
walking proud
winding road
Secret

Love:
SEASONS
LOVE ~Destiny~ ( I LOVE THIS ONE SO MUCH!)
HANABI
HANABI ~episode II~
CAROLS
JEWEL
Together When...
MY ALL
Days (this got me the first time...)

MOMENTS
Life
ASFXX
Memorial Address
Dearest
Together when
Endless Sorrow
Independent
(miss) understood

I loved just about all of ASFXX, but one part I thought was particularly good:

You will someday be betrayed by your trust in people
I thought it was the same as being rejected

I just really like it, very good philosophy I'd say.

I really love teddy bear so much, lyrics wise it's the whole song set up that gets me. Waiting exitedly for the present then:

Next to my pillow there was a big teddy bear
Instead of you

And ofcourse (I'm cutting this down A LOT):

Memorial Address
Endless Sorrow
ever free
fated
M
Hapy Ending - Not too keen on the song tbh, but I love the lyrics, especially the last part

These I don't find particularly touching, just great:

I am...
SEASONS
Pride
My Name's WOMEN

To name a few ^_^

i'll only name a few because she has so many

POWDER SNOW
I want to be left alone.
I want to escape to a place where no one knows me.
That I'm wrong about that, that it's my fault,
is all my heart has. I don't need tomorrow.

Can I cry as much as I want to? Until my tears wither away.
The white snow flows and muffles my tears.
Please help me.

Depend on you
You fly on and on. If you're tired
You can rest your wings, so
I'll be here.

HANABI ~episode II~
I remember everything even now
Your voice calling my name, your casual habits
I want to forget, and I don't want to forget

Because of You
My love grew when we couldn't meet
My heart ached because my voice didn't reach you
I found I couldn't go back to the times
When I had not known you

full untitled ~for her~ and memorial adress

About you
You shut the door of your heart with a violent noise
And lost the key to open it
A long time ago
So please tell me
Exactly what you feel

I always adore Ayu's lyrics!

My favorites:

Memorial Address
Dearest
teddy bear
evolution (This song always makes me realise you lucky I should to be to live right here and right now so that I was able to meet all my friends :D)

So many of her songs are just so beautifully written that I couldn't possibly name all the touching ones... but...

Moments
What you adored looked beautiful to you
And became even brighter because you couldn't reach it

The broken pieces of your dream
Pierce my heart
Leaving the pain
That I should never forget

A Song for XX
I was born alone. I'll go on living alone.
I thought that surely that kind of life is appropriate.

Memorial address ~take 2
I wish I could have heard from you
That I had certainly been loved by you
Only once, even if it had been a lie

HANABI
I'm looking up at the stained sky
so my tears don't well up and fall.

There's never a day that I have
to remember you because
I never for a moment forgot you.

untitled ~for her~
Supposing everyone goes on the endless road
Over that cloud to the sky
Sooner or later
Be sure to wait for me

And then, we will talk away
With our countless memories

^ I remember listening to this when I found out my grandma had died. I cried, and feel like crying almost every time I hear this song. But I love it.

POWDER SNOW
Can I cry as much as I want to? Until my tears wither away.
Can I shout loudly? Until my voice withers away.

Days
My heart becomes so warm
Just because you are around me
I have only one wish
Please let me keep on loving you

The full lyrics of all these songs are so amazing.

Other songs: Because of You, Dearest, teddy bear (so sad~), TO BE, part of Me, MY ALL, Endless sorrow, RAINBOW, fated, Together When..., End roll

I think the lyrics, that I can relate most to are from Voyage:

We travel this road to find happiness.
Everyone is a traveler, carrying his own never-healing wounds.
See? You look good with a smile on your face.

there are way too many...and for me, what I think are her most touching lyrics at a particular time depends on how I am feeling at that time...

a while ago, it was walking proud.

right now...it would be something like rainbow, or jewel.

Her most touching lyrics aren't always sad either.

But ASFXX ALWAYS gets me. It's just gorgeous.

ALL of A Song for XX especially these parts:
I was born alone. I'll go on living alone.
I thought that surely that kind of life is appropriate.

You will someday be betrayed by your trust in people
I thought it was the same as being rejected

I had no place to live. I couldn't find one.
I don't know if I could have any hope for the future.
And the way that last bit is mirrored in And Then :
Didn't I tell you
I can't stay in the same place forever?
Let’s leave this town together
Before the sun comes up
and this little bit...
While we say we’re born imperfect
So that we can become perfect some day, la la la…

Pride, Life, Powder Snow, dearest, memorial address, teddy bear, walking proud. If I am in the right mood all of these can make me cry! Except And Then, that makes me feel ready to face the world

A Song for XX
I had no place to live. I couldn't find one.
I don't know if I could have any hope for the future.

I am...
Please understand, that's not what I'm saying.
Please notice, this isn't what I want.
Please let me go, I don't want to go there.
I've been searching for just one word.

HAPPY ENDING
Well, I know better than anyone else
That a happy ending never suits me

End of the World
When you see someone worse off than you
you feel a little relieved.
When you see someone happier than you
you quickly become impatient.

But sometimes you
realize just how pitiful you are
and you crash into reality.

A Song For xx has one of the most beautiful lyrics ever
others are Endless sorrow and HANABI

mmm i like End Of The World now :3 it's so good...
