Even in Japanese, that’s a wordy song title. It translates to "words become swords that pierce the heart." Profound, no? Once again, I didn’t have a gimmick going in, so I wrote the first line — the first stanza, really — and let everything else come afterward.
\nWhen it reached a point where a chorus would come in, I pulled out that clever gimmick of the bilingual chorus. It will, unfortunately, pose quite a challenge when the music gets written.<\/p>\n

\nIn all those spaces between
\nThe first and last words
\nOf the letters you wrote
\nThere was a meaning unsaid
\nThe pictures you drew
\nIn between all the lines
\nI thought my eyes played a mean trick on me
\nBut all your words speak of joy and remorse
\nIn all those undotted I’s,
\nIllegible marks,
\nAnd smears on the page
\nThere was an artwork beneath
\nA shape and a form
\nIn the lines that you drew
\nI thought my eyes saw a whole different light
\nBut all your words speak of doubt and belief
