What's with "UNITE!"?

I have NEVER EVER understood this song, lyrics dont make sense to me and all I can think of is ayumi naked on the beach lol.

Does anyone have ANY insight on UNITE?
I used to feel this way about NEVER EVER, until i listened to it at night and watched concerts... it has this jail theme to it. But I still am not so sure about it, either.

I understand evolution.. endless sorrow, and M and all those other I am... titles.

But UNITE! gets me frustrated.

Anyone know anything?

I'm going to try not to go astray anymore...

There is something I want to tell you.
I could spend the fun times with anyone,
but when I'm sad, yeah,
no one else can take your place.

Even just in your dreams,
even in troubled times,
I don't want you to forget me.

Freedom in the right hand, Love in the left
We'll walk on, embracing both, and stumbling from time to time.

The coming of another, same morning is depressing.
Suddenly, the square sky seems very empty.

There have been days
when suddenly I shed
tears at daybreak.
I told you while crying:

People are short-lived, but they are strong.

I have you, who will protect me.
Freedom in the right hand, Love in the left
We'll walk on, embracing both, and stumbling from time to time.
wow wow wow

It's basically saying that she'd rather have this person around than anyone else, especially in times when she's depressed. They may not be perfect, but she feels like she can be herself around him (or her... can't tell if it's a friend or a lover really...)

Are there any specific lyrics you're confused about?

This specific part explains the title of the song. If both of those are united then you have the most oimportant thing. I think that's what she wanted to mean.
