This is true and I agree. And I think that it also depends on what people see as pessimism.
I personally never thought of "A Song for XX" or "HAPPY ENDING" to be pessimistic (though it may aply to the later). They're sad and desperate, but I don't feel that ayu can't find a way out of it. "A Song for XX", for example, is written in past tense. (As stupid as this may sound...)
I was born alone and would live alone
I thought it was certainly natural for me to live in such a way
Basically this would mean that she has been thinking in such a way, but that she already found a way out of this "darkness" when she wrote the lyrics.
