That's actually a good point! I listened to a lot of Hikki songs without reading the translation, until recently, but before I didn't
know what the song was about. It just felt or sounded beautiful.
Hikki's a good lyricist, but if it were someone else singing an empty song, I wouldn't know, and I'd like it nonetheless (till maybe reading the lyrics and convincing myself I know better.)
But I guess maybe because I understand English I sometimes like to feel that I should listen to something with substance.
Empty nice-sounding songs have their place, too! Like you said, you can just enjoy the music.
(And what you said was well-written, are you sureee English isn't your first language? Haha, I kid.)
