TW... says she will start a search for you in another lifetime.

Close to you says more or less they will meet up in another lifetime for sure.

(haha my Jpn sucks)

Can't you see the difference? One is on a journey to seek, while the other is more or less, we will see each other next time~ Which matches with their respective songs.

You forgot that most of this is translated, so the meaning is lost in the translation. Most of the time it's simplified, but the message might be similar but subtle differences can alter the message alot.

On the theme of rebirth, she hinted it in Part of Me. There are many themes that she continues over and over, I'm just glad it's not about sex, drugs, and sex. Haha
Of course I can see the difference. The fact that the last lines didn't match up didn't escape me O_o. Admittedly I was relying more on the translation of the lyrics by masa than by the lines themselves--but I trust masa knows what he's saying and what he's translating since.. he speaks Japanese.

I guess it's a matter of what you consider lyric lifting or not. To me these are similar lyrics. Sorry that it doesn't match up with the others in here.
