I'm sure that there are some people who feel like those lyrics [to the Parade Theme of Paprika] contain some non sequiturs, shall we say? But really, the words just fall into place. When you're writing a song, you know it's a bad one when the words won't fit like that. No matter how esoteric the lyrics are, if you can organize the sounds so that part of the song makes you happy, and another part makes you sad; then that's what I would consider to be a successful song. A good song. Another thing is to be able to convey the exact imagery or impression that you had in mind to whomever is listening. That's something that I've experienced relatively often.
