TV Version
Rōmaji= Agaite aganai ikiru riyū sagashitenda Mabushī hikari wa sō Kinō ni wa nai kara Ate mo naku hashiru sutorei doggusu

Kūhaku o umeru yo motomete ita nda ichigyō (ichigyō) Sentensu o! Nai mono nedaru kedo sore ja nanimo te ni hairanai ka Dōshite itsumo kobore ochiteku no ka?

Yogorete shimatta boku no te o sora e to Nobasu no sa

Akogare aragai ikiru riyū sagashitenda Kōshite kotae wa mō Kinō ni wa nai ndarō Atarashī pēji wa mayō katte no jibun jishin ga Tsudzutteku rezondeetoru 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 当てもなく走る迷い犬達(ストレイドッグス)

空白を埋めるよ　求めていたんだ一行（一行） センテンスを！ 無いものねだるけど　それじゃ何も手に入らないか どうしていつも零れ落ちてくのか？

汚れてしまった　僕の手を空へと 伸ばすのさ

憧れ抗い 生きる理由探してんだ こうして答えはもう 昨日には無いんだろう 新しいページは迷う勝手の自分自身が 綴ってく存在理由 (レゾンデートル) 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

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 当てもなく走る迷い犬達(ストレイドッグス)

空白を埋めるよ　求めていたんだ一行（一行） センテンスを！ 無いものねだるけど　それじゃ何も手に入らないか どうしていつも零れ落ちてくのか？

汚れてしまった　僕の手を空へと 伸ばすのさ

憧れ抗い 生きる理由探してんだ こうして答えはもう 昨日には無いんだろう 新しいページは迷う勝手の自分自身が 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 (定義なんて) ナンセンスさ! 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 go wander in a desert of words We are all facing the outcome of our wandering selves Entangled in a paradox

I've decided to not to ask for something that doesn't exist The reason I couldn't tame it was because I didn't believe in it

I learnt of pain and realized that was the beginning of my salvation So take my hand

Struggling, compensating, we’re searching out our reason for living ‘Cause that bright light doesn’t lie among yesterday We are the only ones who can write that new page We're stray dogs, running towards our tomorrow
