[Song-names] makes sense or not??

[NintendoHTF1242]

The only song title that doesn't make much sense to me is Free & Easy. vogue, Humming 7/4, and all those other ones were explained by other uses (which was a huge help).

Hmm, I'll try to explain my pov about "Free & Easy" title.

You know how in the beginning of the lyrics there's the line "sometimes I ask myself, how much farther will I have to go? (tokidoki jibun ni toikakeru doko made ikeba tadoritsuku no)" ?

And then, the very last line goes "sometimes I asked myself how much farther would I have to go (tokidoki jibun ni toikaketa doko made ikeba tadoritsuku no to). And also, in the end of the PV she has been executed and her coffin is being carried away.

So IMO, the "Free & Easy" part is actually what happens right after she's "passed away", so now after all the struggling and pain she had in life she's finally "free and easy" when there's nothing of that anymore.

Hope that made sense. I'm not saying that's what she meant though, just my interperation since the song is inspired by the story of Jeanne d'Arc, I've always thought that.

NO SENSE

Mirrorcle World (OMG, what did she mean???!!)
Catcher in the Light
humming 7/4
memorial address (even teh song it's touchy, can't link the title with it)
Alterna

SENSE

Rainy Day
Teddy Bear
rollin'
HANABI episode II
Endless Sorrow

[Andrenekoi]

my name's WOMEN - She is talking like she were all women, not only herself

Load of the SHUGYO - it was explained when NL was released, means like... load of hard training

Catcher in the Light - A play with "Catcher in the Hie"?

In an interview, she said she came up with the song while doing a shoot for the magazine Free & Easy, so I always thought the magazine was the inspiration for the title, although she did say in the same interview that the song is (at least partially) about "freedom".

I believe Memorial Address was written for her father, who she doesn't know is alive or dead.

When I first heard MW (or Mirror) I imagined that the echoing voice was Ayu's other selves talking back from her mirror. The PV I imagined was very different to what she came up with It would have had her talking into the mirror and taking on different personas as she met her "other selves"

[rusuke]

Songs that make sense for me:

Free & Easy w/ PV. I really think it really fits the title and the video...
Endless sorrow
M
(don't)Leave me alone (song)

Doesn't make sense at all
(don't)Leave me alone (PV). I just don't get it.

I figured out the same as you...i imagined Ayu in different eras, in the past in the future, I imagined her life if she didn't become a rich singer..as looking in a Mirror she could have a vision of this.
Instead the PV really doesn't suit the song and honestly is one of my least favourite.
Anyway I continue thinking how much time did she need to invent the world Mirrorcle..no sense and so difficult to use!

[nemesisyume]

Are You Wake Up? is just

[noidea]

Are You Wake Up? is wrong grammar, but it does make sense xD

[asmAyumi1992]

Ah. I don't care. If the songs sounded good to me, I don't care whatever title it is. But I do love Marionette and Mirrorcle World as the title. It sounds very IN me.

[Ayu-me]

Makes sense:
1. Mirrorcle World - The lyrics talk about this 'new era' and how it's viewed. I think Mirror refers to change and Mirrorcle sounds a lot like 'miracle', kind of talking about a world of miracles.
2. (don't) Leave me alone - Same as everyone else. XD
3. Marionette - The lyrics and video are about being a marionette, so...
4. GUILTY - She sings about escaping her past, secrets, hiding, generally feelings of guilt.
5. evolution - The lyrics are about evolution, a constantly changing world that we must treasure.
And by the way, I do think "Will" makes sense;
Kira kira kira kira
Like strong sunshine
Kura kura
Emit a light so dazzlingly

No one knows the tomorrow that is darkness
I hold out my hand with all my might and swear next to you

Hira hira hira hira
Like falling flower petals
Yura yura
May my wavering heart be tall and proud

It's about strength, a will to go on. I don't think it's for futurum, 'I will do something'! XD

Does Not make sense:
1. Endless Sorrow - Isn't this song supposed to be about faith and bonds or something? :S
Can't actually find more question marks for me! XD
A vogue, isn't it some kind of growth, development, faith, dare or something? The song talks about growing into a beautiful flower, so in that case, it fits.
Also, In The Corner, she talks about something not being from the bottom of her heart;
So my smile, tears
And such emotion as anger are
Not necessarily connected with
The bottom of my heart
Maybe she means that it's just from a corner of her heart? In a big space, Corners are small compared to the rest. Or maybe about finding something else in the corner of her heart? Hmm...
My Name's WOMEN fits too in my ears. In both the video and lyrics she stands up for women and protest against the demeaning ways they are viewed, so she kinds of refers to herself as a spokeswoman for Women, I guess.

[vampireknightzero]

Makes sense:

A Song for XX
evolution
SURREAL
appears
Rule
M

Don't make sense:

vogue (still didn't get it..)
monochrome
Moments

monochrome means black and white and ayu sings that she wants to "lose all colours", she wants everything to be black and white, monochrome

[Andrenekoi]

Moments:

"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"

"If I could flutter like a bird
I would fly to you
And offer my wing
To your wounded back"

"If I could flow like the wind
I would reach you
If I could shine like a moon
I would keep shining on you"

she is describing moments to say how much she loves this person^^

[noidea]

Thanks Andrenekoi, i was too lazy to do that one as well xD monochrome was shorter to discribe xD

[waterballoon]

vogue also refers to 'fashion', or more aptly, a 'passing popular phase'. The song basically sings about flowers blooming and withering (as a reference)... so it's like a vogue in that sense. I think.

^ wow, I thought she just stole it from madonna because she thought it sounded nice xD
