See also the Tanya Chua video for her song ( jia xiang di Imaginary Enemy) I love the song and the translation for it is in a video description box on my channel)
Please help me where I am wrong If you speak Chinese.
The story of Daphne and Apollo. Apollo coming back after his victory after slaying Python. He told Cupid that he should be content with toys and not play with arrows. Cupid being angry shot Daphne with a lead arrow, and shot Apollo with a gold arrow. The lead arrow will make a person/god repel someone's love MADLY, while the gold one will make the person shot love someone madly. (a lamestzombie Youtube comment) Daphne had no interest in Apollo but he was in love with her. He pursued her and she ran to the river and her father turned her into a tree to escape Apollo's love advances.
The song seems to be saying that girls start out innocent and loving but become stubborn because guys are too forceful and persistent when they chase them and harass them.

S.H.E - Yue Gui Nv Shen
The very long legend, it is so broad like the world history
Noting this part of great agony
The golden color of Apollo's shine
But it's nothing compare to the courage of Daphne
There is not one type of love
That is above freedom
The wounds of Daphne
Has been transformed in to a Lauraceae tree; Stubbornness
# The scent of Lauraceae tree; the night breeze is in love with the moon light
My love is very different
On my clean face, I never put on heave make ups
I insist on what I like
The scent of Lauraceae tree; the clouds circling the star light
I want to become someone who says what they have to say
The ocean without boundaries; the broad imagination
Compared to everyone else, I'm not average at all
The riverside of the forest; Apollo is chasing
While crying he wears; the Laurel of Daphne
The chained love
Has already lost its warmth
The Wounds of Daphne
The sympathy goes around thousands of years
Love wobbles; love pulls in shore
I sail forward; searching the Laureal
Y'know. I gotta say that the story of Apollo and Daphne is an interesting one. I love a lot of the subject matter S.H.E. chooses for their music ^__^

I don't think the girls are making all the choices of the songs they sing. I am sure they play a role in the choices but others are writing for them. However, the songs they end up singing are unique and sets them apart from the crowd.
