Any J/a/panese here can explain why lyrics are so complicated? How do people even write them?
I mean, these

Have a lot of Kanji that have nothing to do with what is actually sang (like 弦の琴-調べ- 迷宮-楽園-に誘う  - what is the point of such constructs?). So people are supposed to buy CD, read lyrics booklet and only then they will see the actual Kanji (and meaning?)
Also I have no idea what the song itself actually means.

Gazette is incredibly awesome but what the fuck do they sing about? Even in Engrish parts what he sings sounds nothing like "
In the bottom of the dark sea" (more like "dark dead sea").
So, anyone has any insight on lyric composition process?
I can only say that in my native language there are some performers who really have nonsense lyrics that don't mean much.
