Dogs Lyrics English Translation by Hitsujibungaku | Moeka Shiotsuka
The lyrics ask a piercing question, ‘Why am I even alive?’ The words describe a city without sunlight and the blurred lights of buildings. The vocalist screams her frustrations, questioning the purpose of life and the nature of justice.
Yatto kizuitaI’ve finally realized.
Fukou no jirai o fuminuitaI’ve stepped on a landmine of misfortune.
Okay sorenara akuma to socchi e hohoenderuOkay, in that case, I’m over here smiling with the devil.
Matomo janai no wa hyaku mo shouchiI’m fully aware that I’m not normal.
Yareteru furi shiteruI’m just pretending I’ve got it together.
Barete nee barete neeThey don’t see it, they don’t see it.
Daitai itsumo ame ga furu to fuan ni nan dakaraI mean, I always get anxious when it rains anyway,
Damatte itara ii no niso I should just keep my mouth shut.
Setsujitsu na shikou ga shimitsuiteru karaBecause this desperate way of thinking is stained into me,
SakundaI screamed.
Taiyou no nai kono machi de biru no akari ga me ni nijindaIn this city without a sun, the building lights blurred in my eyes.
Nee doushite ikiterun darouHey, I wonder, why am I even alive?
Socchi doudaiHow’s it going over there?
Toukyou wa sora kibande iruThe sky in Tokyo is turning yellow.
Douse inu nara sono kiba de inochi kuitsubuseIf you’re going to be a dog anyway, then tear life apart with those fangs.
Namanurui kakugo ja saki wa nai neThere’s no future with such a lukewarm resolve.
Yan no ka nigeru ka jibun de kimenaAre you going to fight or run? Decide for yourself.
Yokei na chinou nante nai hou ga yokattaIt would’ve been better not to have this useless intelligence,
Nante itte haiteruI say as I throw it all up.
Shoumonai jinsei ni mo riyuu gaEven a worthless life needs a reason,
Nanka hoshiku nattakarais what I suddenly felt I wanted.
SakundaSo I screamed.
Taiyou no nai kono machi de biru no akari ga me ni nijindaIn this city without a sun, the building lights blurred in my eyes.
Nee doushite ikite yuku koto erandaHey, why did I choose to keep on living?
Kuchibiru kamichigitte nameta chi no aji sae me o samashitaI bit my lip until it broke, and even the taste of blood woke me up.
Seigi tte naniWhat even is justice?
Shirokujichuu sensou bakkaIt’s nothing but war, twenty-four seven.
Jissai dokka kibou ga an noIs there actually any hope somewhere?
Genjou teitai seikatsu o zokkouContinuing this life of stagnation.
UsseeShut up.
Wakatta furi sunnaDon’t you dare pretend like you understand.
