So you can't say "these lyrics are cheap and meaningless" because perhaps we have missed something. Maybe it's just me, but I find a lot of her lyrics really odd, but not in a bad way. I feel most of her songs have many meanings, and are really open to debate and discussion of what they really mean based on the translations (masa, wataru) I have read.
If this doesn't make sense or lacks organization then I apologize, I'm just writing what I feel based on what I've read in this thread. I hope you all get what I'm saying though.

I totally agree with you. And I think you make a lot of sense. Well put. =) It's really how I feel too, one of the things I find/found unique about ayu, how she sung when I first heard her songs gave me some impression of what the song was about (along with the arrangement and all that), and when I checked the lyrics.... They were almost always like the impression/feelings I had from listening. I really love ayu's ability to do that, I haven't ever heard any other singer that does is equally well.
