From a mad dog to an underdog(*) No matter how many times I'll lunge to bite At best, I'll just get curious about justice When I bark, it's time to scram

(Woof woof woof woof!)

Naturally, a mentality that really only cares about myself Have a habit of being in my own world all the time, I know Like that, I'll reach the peak Don't you dare enter my territory

All about appearances, what are you so conscious about just before taking the risk

Even if you run away screaming alone, see, it doesn't change a thing It won't even reach anyone's line of sight

Don't talk as if you know

If you do it fair and square What? Ya' got any complaints? With a low IQ and a pistol I'll shoot you down

(Woof woof woof woof!)

Try saying what you want to say Try saying what you want to say Like that, I'll reach the peak Don't you dare enter my territory

Get changed into a new shirt, and wear a collar by habit Did you feel like you could be anything? Did you feel like you became anything?

Pretending as if you're a realist Pretending as if you're some critic You're not even a stray dog

Get lost

From a mad dog to an underdog No matter how many times I'll lunge to bite At best, I'll just get curious about justice When I bark, it's time to scram

(Woof woof woof woof!)

Naturally, a mentality that really only cares about myself Have a habit of being in my own world all the time, I know Like that, I'll reach the peak Wagging your tail, you're here to come crawling back, right?

Bark and howl, you underdogs

Bark and howl, you underdogs

Until me and this body rots and decays, let’s make things clear

Now, sing and sing,

The underdogs will

On a Holy Night, standing alone From a platform in the middle of winter, Looking like a thousand fireflies Lights could be seen in the distance

On the night of the star festival, at that railway station, The two of us that stopped and stood there For that Galaxy Station by the pillar of light(*2) Even now, I'm still looking for it(*3)

If I get past the night on the Galactic Railroad(*1), I have a feeling I could meet you again The songs that surround the stars, see, You can hear them on a night like this

Looking like they were made of crystals, I walk looking up at those ginkgo trees The fact that I liked you, Taking pride in that, I keep living on

Heading far, far North, Inside that night train You let me hear about it That one and only God's story, Even now I can still remember it

If I get past the night on the Galactic Railroad, It's be nice if I could meet you again The songs that surround the snow, see, They resound on a night like this

If I get past the night on the Galactic Railroad I have a feeling I could meet you again The songs that surround the stars, see, You can hear them on a night like this

If I get past the night on the Galactic Railroad, It's be nice if I could meet you again The songs that surround the snow, see, They resound on a night like this

*1 (If I get past the night on the Galactic Railroad) - this is actually a reference to Kenji Miyazawa's children's novel, Night on the Galactic Railroad. there are also other references in the song. it's actually a good read, and the song also makes a lot more sense w/ that in mind, considering it has a lot of metaphors abt it

*2 (by the pillar of light) - also another reference to the novel. i assume that this has double meanings? it's depicted as a pillar of light, but a 'tenkirin no hashira' is also a pillar with a wheel attached to it found near graveyards that supposedly let people communicate to the dead. note that the train in the Galaxy Station (from the book) is also implied to transport people to the afterlife.

* (Even now, I'm still looking for it) - the way the lyrics in this part is arranged implies that in the past, both of them looked for it. However, now, only the singer is left searching for it.

Lyrics (kanji, romaji, eng)

眺めていたよ 沢山の笑顔 「辛いこともあったけれど よくここまで頑張ったね」って 手を振って見送るの 凍えたその手で 「いつかまた会おう」なんて そんなこと君は言うけれど

nagameteita yo, takusan no egao “tsurai koto mo atta keredo yoku koko made ganbattane” tte te wo futte miokuru no, kogoeta sono te de “itsuka mata aou” nante sonna koto kimi ga iu keredo

I've been gazing at them, y'know   lots of these smiling faces "There have been tough times, but to reach this point, you did so well", they'd say, Waving hands to say farewells   with those frozen hands "One day, let's meet once again," or something, Those kinds of things, you say them, but 

寂しくなってきた またまたまたまた 何回目だろう いつもいつもこの時が嫌いで

samishikunattekita mata mata mata, nankaime darou itsumo itsumo kono toki ga kirai de

It's become so lonely Again,   again, again   How many times has this been? Always,  always, I hate this moment... 

もう生きたくて死ねなくて 数え切れないよ 壊れてしまいそう 叫ぶよ何度でも「君は変わらないでいて」 きっと「行かないで行かないで」 唱えたとしても みんな前を向いて戦っていくんでしょ？ 弱い私にならないで

mou ikitakute shinenakute, kazoekirenai yo kowareteshimaisou sakebuyo nandodemo “kimi wa kawaranaideite” kitto “ikanaide ikanaide” tonaetatoshitemo minna mae wo muite tatakatteikundesho yowai watashi ni naranaide

Already, the 'I want to live's, 'I don't want to die's, they're countless I feel like I'm about to break No matter how much I scream, "Stay as you are, don't change," Surely, "Please don't go, please don't go," Even if I chant that, Everyone, while looking forward, will continue to fight on, right? Don't become like this weak me 

笑う人 泣いてる人 傷つけ合う人 おかしいね、でもそれが人なんだね

warau hito naiteru hito kidzudzukeau hito okashii ne, demo sore ga hito nandade

People who are laughing, People who are crying, People who hurt each other, It's so strange   but that's what it means to be 'human', huh 

この冷たくて悲しくて不条理な地獄が 私たちのステージで、 この舞台から降りてはいけないから 生きていく意味も死ぬ意味も、 そんなの探さないで 逃げたくならないように 舞台に上がれたら、いつか私も

kono tsumetakute kanashikute fujourina jigoku ga watashitachi no stage de, kono butai kara orite wa ikenai kara ikiteiku imi mo shinu imi mo, sonna no sagasanaide nigetakunaranai you ni butai ni agaretara, itsuka watashi mo

This cold, sad, unreasonable hell, is our stage, Getting off this stage isn't permitted, so... The reason for living, the reason for dying too, Please don't search for something like that, So you won't want to run away If you get on this stage,  one day I too, will... 

何もないけど幸せな人 みんなみんな戦っている たくさんあるけど悲しい人 みんな傷だらけなんだ

nani mo nai kedo shiawase na hito minna minna tatakatteiru takusan aru kedo kanashii hito minna kizudarake nanda

Even though it's useless, happy people, Everyone, everyone keeps fighting on There are tons of them though, sad people, Everyone's so full of wounds... 

溶けてしまうくらい羨ましいんだ 誰もが光輝いて 時に汚れて、だけど綺麗で そんな世界が

toketeshimaukurai urayamashiinda dare mo ga hikari kagayaite toki ni yogorete, dakedo kirei de sonna sekai ga

I'm envious enough to melt, Anyone radiates such light Sometimes it's filthy, but so beautiful, That kind of world... 

もう泣きたくて泣きたくて 数え切れないよ 明日も晴れるように、戦っていくんでしょ？ いつか私を溶かしに来て

mou nakitakute nakitakute, kazoekirenai yo ashita mo hareru you ni, tatakatteikundesho itsuka watashi wo tokashi ni kite
