All my life I've been confined to this one space
Playing the game by someone else's rules
Every drop of rain holds my sorrow
I want to run through the despair
Run free of all that holds me back.
Standing alone in a crowd of strangers
Unfamiliar faces passing by
The magical jellybeans lead me to a heaven
Far above all that I ever knew
Beyond all the clouds of my prison.
No longer sheltered from the unknown
The storm in my heart has dried
Bright sunlight warms my face
Those faces, no longer strangers to my eye
Smiling, they welcome my spirit.
Freedom is sweet, a field with no end in sight
Winds of chance blowing in every direction
Where I go from here is my choice
No more running from the past
Only towards the destiny my heart seeks.

I knew that I wrote this to a Hamasaki Ayumi song but I couldn't remember which one for the life of me. I could visualise certain scenes from the PV based on the poem (e.g. jellybeans, windmills) but I couldn't remember the exact song. Turns out that it was "Dearest" which I didn't even remember hearing but as soon as I started watching the video I knew that I had found the right one. Anyway, it's a beautiful, slow song. :)
I would say that this poem is based heavily on the PV rather than just the song since it reflects almost exactly what happened in the PV.

ReplyDeleteWhat I like about this one is how it flows smoothly from beginning to end, and at the same time, also tells a complete and consistent, yet concise story.
Dearest, that's the Inu Yasha song as well, isn't it? I'd known it from a MIDI (all guitar arrangement), but only heard the song a long while after. Very nice song though.
Thanks! ^^
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure, possibly? I'm too lazy to Google it, lol.
I was too lazy to find it on my PC. lol
