I've been analyzing lyrics since i was 14. Started with Tori Amos, Stevie Nicks, and Joni Mitchell, so... yeah, that's not beginner stuff. Ayu's easier, but only slightly.

Where did I get it? I dunno, it just kinda struck me that that's what she was talking about. I think wataru's translations made unreasonable stretches at times. I like seeing the more literal translations then interpreting them myself. Wataru put pronouns in that weren't there, so alot of passages made no sense on his translations. Plus alot of ayu's lyrics have double meanings, or deliberately obscure meanings so it can apply to whoever is listening. Wataru intruded on ayu's lyrics alot, i think. Anyway, when I looked up masa's translation (which is only proofread so it's more grammatically correct in english, no blanks are filled in) i knew what it meant. It was alot easier to understand.
