An Arrow In The Side Of Final Fantasy Lyrics

No-one has really tried to discuss the central theme of this song...to me, this song is actually a subtle criticism of optimistic, idealistic love with no roots in reality - "An Arrow in the Side of Final Fantasy."

"My love for you needs no water" - when you look at it, it's actually quite an absurd line. Everybody needs water to live; it's stupid to pretend that love can magically provide the essentials of life for you. How can all things shine when smoke and pollution have turned midday to midnight?
