Most Poetic Lyrics?

[Larien]

My English class has an assignment to write a paper about the poetic merit of our favorite song lyrics. Of course, I wanted to choose an Ayu song, but I have no idea how to go about choosing! I'll be working with the English translations for meaning, and only looking at the Japanese for rhyme, cadence, etc.
So what are your suggestions? Please help!

hmm ASFXX the album is full of really good lyrics like Hana

i really love M because of this line

Beginnings come at random,
but endings always have a reason.

Endless sorrow
Moments

[ownsarai]

I agree with pommy~
Hana and Moments are great. RAINBOW is also good.

[aloopy]

First thing that comes in my mind is part of Me

it's pretty poetic

[AyUta]

Yes, M would be a good candidate

[prussian blue]

i can only think of moments

the lyrics in chorus is absolutely beautiful!

[kendelle]

Endless Sorrow
A Song for XX
M
RAINBOW
SEASONS

To a lesser extent, kanariya and Beautiful Day also have quite nice lyrics with good rhyming

[DA1SUK1DAY01691]

SEASONS
M
-RAINBOW-
-Daybreak-
Dolls
Who...
Memorial Address
Curtain Call*
fairyland
-Moments-

My top 10, in no particular order. I think RAINBOW, Daybreak, and Moments will be very interesting to analyze and breathe life into.

Curtain Call may be hard, since repetitive stanzas may not provide you much, but that is the whole basis of the flow. If you can, that'll probably be a great song to do it on.

Connected is a poetic masterpiece.

[shyguygurl]

duty: why:"Everyone is convinced
that that "thing" they're searching
for is in the future.
But how many people have realized
that "it" is actually in the past?
I can't even guess."

Moments: why: "If my life is transient like a flower
I'll be in full bloom by your side
And after watching your smile
I'll fall alone, quietly"

JEWEL: why: "Breathing calmly, I looked at you
Who had fallen asleep, so exhausted
The sweet, unprotected profile
That no one in the world but me knows"

M ( as stated above)


walking proud: why: "My lips told a lie
For a trivial reason
I suppose it was for no one else
But only to protect me
When I was thoughtless"

my favorites

[Ayunk]

I like the meaning for HAPPY ENDING and walking proud ~

Spoiler:

Walking Proud
The sky I looked up at was beautiful
I thought of you
I wished I could walk with firm steps
Facing forward like you


HAPPY ENDING
I find nothing I want in a place like this
Which I escaped and tumbled into
I rip my feelings off my heart
And stick a smile on the mask
Please take me away from here
Before everything becomes a memory

Well, I know better than anyone else
That a happy ending never suits me

[chloeM]

i like Moments better... her lyrics are just ~~~~ beautiful~

[sparkle glitter]

Curtain call. The lyrics are simple yet poetic.

[Larien]

Agh, there are so many good choices! Honestly? I wish I could write papers analyzing all of them. For now, though, I think I'll go with Moments. Thank you all for the suggestions!
Now I'm curious to look up the lyrics for a lot of these, especially Connected. I love the lyrics of "Pride," but they seemed too straightforward for this project. Ayu writes such lovely lyrics!

[Huaka]

I think Connected and Will are the only poetic-ish like songs.

[prussian blue]

i wa susprised voyage isnt on the list! its a very touching lyrics too!

[TITANIC]

CAROLS is very romantic lyric but the best lyric IMO Endless sorrow

[C+R+E+AYUMI]

RAINBOW
part of Me
memorial address
Moments
End Roll
SEASONS
GREEN

they're all good for your intent..but many many others. Ayu offers you a huge choice...

[rakeru]

i second Endless Sorrow:
What if you're alone
and suddenly become blind,
and what if despite that
you kept walking forward?

Come here, take my hand

If you've only got
one wing...

[YuriChan]

Dolls
Over
HEAVEN
fairyland
Liar
M

(Err... I can't think of anything else! XDDD)
