Is not like they intend for us to understand what a personal topic certain song is. "Ibara no Namida" for example for me sounds like a personal song. Since L'arc is not all Tetsu or all Hyde well they take turns to do songs for each of them and it turns out wonderful. But in a Sense is more formal maybe because of the Kioon - sony thing and what someone already said about Vamprose being an indie label.

Very true D:

Quote:But with Vamps the lyrics are not that "deep" in meaning. (I like them but I think most lack substance like L'arc lyrics have). It's hard to explain.. I just feel it that way . They are more Easy going fun lyrics (I mean Vamps not Hyde pre-vamps).

O NO U DIDN'T - I don't know, I find them just as deep as HYDE solo and L'Arc. I think what a lot of people in the fanbase tend to think is that "deep" refers to only "romantic" or "sad." The difference between EVANESCENT and VAMPIRE DEPRESSION being a prime example. Many praise the former for being high in emotion and a very deep song, but not the latter for the same reason. To me, VAMPIRE DEPRESSION is very deep, but not deep in the same meaning as EVANESCENT, because that is supposed to be melancholy whilst VAMPIRE DEPRESSION is supposed to be more angry and frustrated, which is an emotion that prevails in both HYDE solo and L'Arc. MASQUERADE being an example as compared to SHINING OVER YOU, and also Revelation as compared to My Dear.

Basically, what I'm trying to say is that like all humans, HYDE is a person of many emotions. So the fun and easy going lyrics are just one of those many "deep" emotions just as much as EVANESCENT, SWEET DREAMS, My Dear, and every other song praised for its emotion as well as the more angry songs like VAMPIRE DEPRESSION, REDRUM, MASQUERADE, etc. Granted, I certainly don't find LOVE ADDICT or SEX BLOOD ROCK N' ROLL very deep myself, but someone might. Songs like HUNTING on the other hand are a completely different story, since they are show songs that could just as easily do good without lyrics. And like I've said in other places, that song is just a remixed version of the HELLO live intro that was played from 2004-2006 with lyrics added... well, what you might call lyrics anyway =P

But yeah, I think you get the point, lawl.
