I think my problem with Itoshii Hito, is I read the lyrics after watching the video. The lyrics are blatantly a love story, but I didn't get that at all from listening to it. Do remember, I love the MYV Pops version better. It's the first one I heard, and I love how it actually ends and doesn't just fade. The ending really makes a difference with how I perceive it.
It's so weird, but when I listened to it, I envisioned this little girl. She was lost and alone in this random place, but she was more curious about it than being scared. She realized no one noticed her, and started yelling at people to get their attention. Still nothing. She got desparate and started running, trying to grab at people and walk into them. However, her body would go right through them.
She was stunned, she didn't know what to do, where to go, what to think. Here she was in this strange place... a place she didn't even really exist. It was too overwhelming, so she ran. She ran and ran until her little feet couldn't carry her anymore. Finally away from all the people, she crashed down to the ground, curled up, and cried. The sun was starting to set, and the air was getting cold. Even through the devastation, she felt herself start to relax and drift into a fitful sleep.
A strong yet gentle hand rested on her shoulder, easing her awake. She eagerly took the hand, loving the warmth and content flowing from it. Helping her up, they walked hand in hand towards the gorgeous sunset illuminating the sky.
After listening to the song and seeing that play out behind my eyes, I cried. In many ways I see that little girl as myself... I so badly long for a guardian angel to come and lead me into the sunset... hell even a sunrise XD; Reading the lyrics afterwards and seeing how completely different they were, it just... It hurt.
I guess you could say that the lyrics are from the Guardian Angel's point of view... telling me not to cry, but it stills seems like quite the stretch to get there.
OH WELL.
Mia, I completely understand what you mean. I have issues saying what I'm thinking and feeling as well. I think that's why I use so many metaphors. Somehow it just makes things easier to describe a situation similar to mine as opposed to directly describing mine.
MARIE! I GOT YOUR POSTCARD =D!
