Actually when you couple these lyrics with the melody, it doesn't seem like she's confident at all, you know?
You know how in monochrome she says "because I'm so strong" but is then interrupted, and you can kinda tell that she's not ACTUALLY strong, she's just telling herself that?
I get that feeling from this song too. I had complained in another thread that the chorus & verse melodies seem to be switched - as a result, the song seemed just kinda off or wrong to me, and when I heard the full song it sounded like it was building up to a climax that never really came. The song doesn't end on a tonic, at least the vocal line doesn't ever really come to a "proper" end - the result is that Ayu sounds like she's thinking or hoping or wondering the ENTIRE time, without ever coming to an answer. This song sounds very insecure to me as a result. It sounds like even now she's musing about whether or not she's gone the right way... this to me sounds like the more mature version of "What is forever love," or the romance-related version of "crossroad" (where that one seemed to be more about her career).
Yet another song I liked better as soon as I read the lyrics, haha.
