I always cry when listening to Flame
I read a lot of his songs' lyrics carefully and now I do understand everything he was trying to say to us - LIVE FOR YOUR DREAM, REACH FOR IT AND NEVER EVER STOP TRYING, BECAUSE ONLY THE DREAMS KEEP US ALIVE, there is no yesterday...this is what Hideto-sama taught me I hope he taught you too!
miss "Little Pink Riding Hood" had questions about hide's alcohol addiction ~
I have a few versions :
*maybe hide wanted to forget his school days, because I believe it was really hard for him back then....
*maybe somebody broke his heart and it was very painful to live with that p.s. some of his lyrics even tell such stories.
*maybe hide was tired of facing walls all over again in his path of life, alcohol is some kind of relief, please agree
*maybe hide wanted different life than one he had back then?
*maybe he simply found it exciting being drunk all the time (?!)
and so on...he really might of had one of these reasons to lush alcohol like water
Anyways, many generations forth are to find hide all over again, and he'll teach them how to live through his lyrics, his music, his personality....
God, I'm missing him so much
hide - My hero
