Apocalyptic songs??

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

Some ayu songs have really strong meaning, sometimes that much that they give me shivers...

specially "Duty" and "I am..."



Duty

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.

I saw the end of an era
with my own eyes.
But I didn't want to know
that it's my turn next.

If, after simplifying it
a bit more, you think that "it"
merely connects and arranges memories,
then wouldn't everyone
already have "it?"
I want you to realize that.

I saw the end of an era
with my own eyes.
And in truth, I actually
do know that it's my turn next.

You'll find me, won't you?
I'm betting that
you'll find me.

I saw the end of an era
with my own eyes.
But I didn't want to know
that it's my turn next.

I am...

Listen closely, because I'll keep screaming until you understand:
I've been here, here, here forever.

What is at the end of these half-tiresome
days that are chased by time?

Is it funny to you that I'm rushing
through life? Go ahead and laugh.

I want you to stare into my eyes and say my name.
I want you to hold my hand and tell me it'll be ok.
Help me; if you don't, I don't think I can make it.
If this is a lie, then at least keep the lie going to the end.

I entrust my body to the flow of time.
Where will I wash ashore?

Despite my faults, will I be forgiven?
Please tell me.

Please understand, that's not what I'm saying.
Please notice, this isn't what I want.
Please let me go, I don't want to go there.
I've been searching for just one word.

I want you to stare into my eyes and say my name.
I want you to hold my hand and tell me it'll be ok.
Help me; if you don't, I don't think I can make it.

Ayu got that connection to music, that with her lyrics she can express all her thoughts in a 100%. I'm sure she got an spiritual connection as well.




Do you think the lyrics of this 2 songs are press to us to change our living in this World? to make our lives "meanful"?

After all the problems that we are having as human beings, global warming, politics, poverty, etc. Do you think that people like Ayumi Hamasaki are in this World to save it??
