レゾンデートルの花 (Raison D'etre no Hana)

==Lyrics==
Japanese 	Romaji 	English
他人と背を比べたって己のサイズはわかんない 	hito to se o kurabeta tte onore no saizu wa wakannai 	It doesn’t matter if I compare my height with others—I don’t know my own size.
されど幸せってやつは相対的につくられる 	saredo shiawase tte yatsu wa soutaiteki ni tsukurareru 	Even so, I know that happiness is constructed in a relative fashion.
 	 	
周りのペースに合わせて 	mawari no peesu ni awasete 	I work on matching the pace of those around me
決して遅れないように 	kesshite okurenai you ni 	And absolutely never falling behind.
されど追い越さぬように 	saredo oikosanu you ni 	Even so, I work on never overtaking them.
群れの中で生きてゆく 	mure no naka de ikite yuku 	That’s how I go on living in a crowd.
 	 	
辿り着く場所も知らぬまま決められたコースを進んで 	tadoritsuku basho mo shiranu mama kimerareta kōsu o susunde 	Advancing along the route laid out for me and ignorant of even my destination,
躓いて転んだとしても誰も手を差し伸べない 	tsumazuite koronda to shite mo dare mo te o sashinobenai 	I can’t see anyone offering me a helping hand even if I were to stumble and fall.
 	 	
そこにあるはずの愛情は風にさらわれて舞い散った 	soko ni aru hazu no aijou wa kaze ni sarawarete maichitta 	The love that should be there was blown in the wind and scattered.
導き出した答えは「正直者が馬鹿を見る」 	michibikidashita kotae wa “shoujikimono ga baka o miru” 	The conclusion I’ve drawn from that is that “honesty doesn’t pay.”
歩き疲れて下を向いて 	arukitsukarete shita o muite 	Tired from walking, I looked at the pavement.
見つけた小さな花だって 	mitsuketa chiisana hana datte 	Even the little flower I found there
生き抜くために闘って 	ikinuku tame ni tatakatte 	Struggles to survive,
そこに咲く意味を求め 	soko ni saku imi o motome 	Seeking out the reason why it blooms there.
 	 	
周りの空気に合わせて 	mawari no kuuki ni awasete 	I work on matching the vibes of those around me
決して嫌われぬように 	kesshite kirawarenu you ni 	And absolutely never being hated.
されど近過ぎぬように 	saredo chikasuginu you ni 	Even so, I work on never getting too close to them.
檻の中で生きてゆく 	ori no naka de ikite yuku 	That’s how I go on living in a cage.
 	 	
ねえ、鏡の向こうに映る顔は誰だっけ？ 	nee, kagami no mukou ni utsuru kao wa dare dakke? 	Hey, whose face is that on the other side of the mirror?
名前は何ていったっけ？ 	namae wa nante ittakke? 	Just what was their name again?
昔から知ってるはずなのに 	mukashi kara shitteru hazu nano ni 	I think I should’ve known it for a long time, yet...
 	 	
無機物に囲まれた街で上手に生きてゆく秘訣は 	mukibutsu ni kakomareta machi de jouzu ni ikite yuku hiketsu wa	The secret to living well in a town fenced in by inorganic substances
自分の意思を押し殺して何も考えないこと 	jibun no ishi o oshikoroshite nani mo kangaenai koto 	Is to quash your own will and fill your head with emptiness.
 	 	
抜け殻みたいな人間を携帯電話が操って 	nukegara mitai na ningen o keitai denwa ga ayatsutte 	Cell phones puppet humans around like hollow husks,
言われたとおりに淡々と右向け右で前ならえ 	iwareta toori ni tantan to migi muke migi de mae narae 	And if you follow what they say, you should blandly face right and mimic what you see.
壊れたらすぐに交換を 	kowaretara sugu ni koukan o 	When I break down, I’ll quickly be replaced.
消耗品だと割り切って 	shoumouhin da to warikitte 	I’ve concluded that I’m a consumable good,
思い出はすぐに初期化して　悲しみさえもサヨナラ 	omoide wa sugu ni shoki kashite kanashimi sae mo sayonara 	And my memories are quickly initialized. Farewell to even my sadness.
 	 	
 	 	
 	 	
そこにあるはずの愛情は有効期限が過ぎ去った 	soko ni aru hazu no aijou wa yuukou kigen ga sugisatta 	The expiration date has passed on the love that should’ve been there.
無償の愛など幻想だ 	mushou no ai nado gensou da 	Free agape is just a fantasy.
タダより高いものはない 	tada yori takai mono wa nai 	Nothing costs as much as what is given to us.
 	 	
無限ループする日常を抜け出す出口もなくなって 	mugen ruupu suru nichijou o nukedasu deguchi mo nakunatte 	I’m even losing the exit to slip out of these infinitely looping days,
終わらない夢と現実の狭間 	owaranai yume to genjitsu no hazama 	So I continue to wander, the gap between
彷徨い続ける 	samayoitsuzukeru 	Dreams and reality neverending,
 	 	
ここにいる意味を求め 	koko ni iru imi o motome 	Seeking out the reason why I am here.
