I wondered about this, too, once in awhile. But most every one of ayu's songs has either an imagery tie in with the title or a thematic tie to the title.

poker face - She says, "It's easy to cry anytime, but I want to smile." Does this mean she can smile? Not necessarily. So she goes with no expression. A "poker face." (And the word is actually used in Japanese... pookaafeesu.)

YOU - Obvious

Trust - Trusting in oneself, the difference between trusting the future to fate and grasping fate oneself... These are themes in this one.

Depend on you - Talks about support, depending on someone. Even uses Japanese terminology similar to "depend" in the song.

For My Dear - Obviously a song written to someone held dear to her heart.

WHATEVER - Not sure about this one, but I'm sure there's a relationship somewhere there.

Others, like evolution were very intentional titles. ayu said in her first ever countdown live, before debuting the song evolution, that the word "evolution" has the same meaning as "shinkasuru" which means "to progress" or "to change for the better." M was a prayer to the Holy Virgin Mother Maria. Connected described a connection between (1) the composer of the lyrics and (2) her fans. Even said, "connected" in Japanese. Hanabi uses the image of a firework as the image of love. Fireworks only bloom for a moment and then fade. According to Masa and my own relatives, this is a pretty Japanese sentiment. Like a flower blooming and withering. So, it's like the story of her love in this case.

Plenty of meanings, not enough time. Hope this helps.
