Ooohhhh. And the fact that this song is called "Last minute" could imply it's a sequel to "count down" too, which was a rock ballad as well... it really lends some validity to your thinking there! I'm wondering if the whole song is just about how hard it is for her to cope with any loss, since it really does seem to jump from perspective to perspective and from story to story the more I look at it.

One of the coolest things about Ayu's lyrics back in the day was that they were often so specific that they were vague, and listeners could take the real-world things she described and apply them to their own experiences and feelings and thoughts, interpreting those specific things in a very different way... I haven't seen a single interpretation on this thread that I would 100% disagree with. These interpretations are actually fascinating to read.

Man, Ayu hasn't had lyrics as good as the ones on this single in a looooonnng time.
