Creatures of a Jade Lagoon by Antichrisis

When growing older one hopefully gains experience — but with experience often comes suspiciousness: I’ve had my share of falling in and out of love, and broken relationships always left me soured and somehow shattered.

So when Ayuma and me met the first time I wondered if falling in love again would be the right thing to do, because for the very first time in my life I had reached the point of complete satisfaction with being on my own: loving someone else can turn into a cumbersome experience, and yours truly simply had enough of being enlisted in the Registered Society of the Broken Hearted.

But the more Ayuma and me got to know each other, the more I realized that Ayuma was well worth for to dare it one more time — and that what “Creatures of a Jade Lagoon” is all about: the wobbliness of realizing that you’ve started to fall in love again despite all doubts and qualms; the uncertainty of being afraid that it might just as well go wrong again but nevertheless longing for the other person and also hoping that unconditional love would not be just an illusion but might turn into something like the magical Jade Lagoon that those two creatures in this song finally found.

And as for Ayuma and me, we definitely have found our Jade Lagoon: “and we danced”.
