Kanji:

足掻いて、購い、生きる理由探してんだ

眩しい光は、そう…昨日には無いから

宛も無く疾走(はし)る迷い犬達(ストレイドッグス)

空白を埋めるよう、求めていたんだ

一行の文章-sentence-を

無い物強請るけど、それじゃ何も手に入らないや

どうして…何時も溢れ落ちていくのか

汚れてしまったこの手を空へと…伸ばすのさ

憧れ、抗い、生きる理由探してんだ

欲した答はもう昨日には無いだろう

新しい頁は迷う果ての自分自身が

綴ってく存在理由(レゾンデートル)

行間を漂う、嘘と真実の

定義なんて無意味-nonsense-さ

飼い馴らせない本能、目を逸らして逃げていたんじゃ

結局、救われない侭なんだよ

癒せない渇き、抱えているのは…誰なんだい？

仰いで、糾い、生きる理由探してんだ

言葉の砂漠を彷徨っていくんだろう

向かい合う誰もが迷う果ての自分自身さ

絡まっていく悖理(パラドックス)

無い物強請るのは…無いと決めてたから

飼い馴らせないのは…信じてなかったから

痛みを知る

その事が救済の始まりと気付いたよ…手を握れ

足掻いて、購い、生きる理由見つけるんだ

眩しい光は、そう…昨日には無いから

新しい頁を創るのは自分自身さ

明日(あす)へ疾走(はし)る迷い犬達(ストレイドッグス)

English:

Struggling… compensating… we’re searching out our reason for living,

‘Cause that bright light doesn’t lie among yesterday!

We’re stray dogs, running without a destination!

In order to fill that blank space, I’d been searching for just one line-

One line… A -sentence-!

I ask for way too much, but that will never get me anything!

Why does everything always end up falling away?

I’ll reach this tainted hand… up to the sky!

Desire… resistance… I’m searching out my reason for living,

‘Cause the answer I seek doesn’t lie among yesterday!

On that new page, once my wandering comes to an end,

My raison d’être will be composed!

Floating between the lines, the definition of lies and truth

Are so meaningless… they’re -nonsense-!

I’d been running, averting my eyes from an instinct I couldn’t tame—

In the end, there was nothing to save me from it.

Just who is it… bearing this unquenchable thirst?

Looking up… twisting away at it… I’m searching out my reason for living,

I’ll surely go on to wander a desert of words.

All of us standing in opposition are the outcome of our wandering selves:

A paradox becoming further entwined!

I’ve decided to never, ever… ask for too much.

The reason I couldn’t tame it… was because I didn’t believe!

I learned of pain—

I realized that was the beginning of my salvation… so take my hand!

Struggling… compensating… we’ll search out our reason for living!

‘Cause that bright light doesn’t lie among yesterday!

We’re the only ones who can write that new page—

We’re stray dogs, running onward to tomorrow!
