The lyrics of Mai Matsuda's song "Twister" showcase a sense of urgency and a desire for a change. The opening lines "Hey, did you hear? In the end, we'll become ashes" suggest the fragility of life and the inevitability of death. The singer of the song then questions the point of worrying too much about life, as it will all come to an end anyway.
The following lines talk about the various experiences in life that often cause stress and anxiety, such as competing in contests, dealing with strict bosses, and trying to fit into society's expectations. The phrase "teatari shidai sa" suggests the feeling of being forced into a certain role or lifestyle. The singer then questions whether such experiences are worth it and if the stress they cause is necessary.
The chorus of the song encourages the listener to stand up and face their problems, to not run away or hesitate. The line "Dou ni mo kou ni mo mama naranai, nara okore yo" suggests that going with the flow or not taking control of one's life will only lead to frustration and regret.
Overall, "Twister" is a song about embracing change and taking control of one's life. It encourages listeners to no longer hold back and live life to the fullest.

Regardless of how good Subarashiki's songs that she sang, I'm surprised Matsuda actually had very few fans outside Japan.

I'm a huge fan of Shadow Hearts myself =D if you like games with atmosphere, I recommend Odin Sphere. it may not have the unique kind that you'd get in the aforementioned games, but it's still just a very dramatic presentation.
