つり銭出てくる 人生がいいと
両手を合わせ 願えば願うほど
バチにけっつまづき膝をすりむいた
なるべくなら なるべくなら
嘘はない方がいい
嘘は言わない そう 心に決めて
嘘をつき続けて 俺生きている
お前の前にいると
真実 おお 真実
真実だけが 頭を垂れる
こんな臆病者だからこそ
本当の事が欲しい
ああ 夢 夢 夢で
今日も日が暮れる

くやしいだろうけどね
信じきった夜 あいつの悲しみが
わかってくるのは なぜだろう
金、カネ カネと追いかけたら
一夜にして 幸せが すりぬけた
追いかけてばかり いるうちに
頭もはげてきた
恨む心も 願う心も
お前の前にいると
真実 おお 真実
真実だけが 頭を垂れる
こんな臆病者だからこそ
本当の事が欲しい

The song "RUN" by Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi talks about the idea of chasing after something that seems always out of reach and the importance of truth in one's life. The first verse talks about the concept that if you put something in, something else will come out - in this case, a 100 yen coin into a donation box results in change coming out. The idea is that if you put good things out into the world, good things will come back to you. However, the more you try to ask for these things, the harder it becomes to actually achieve them, as though you're fighting against fate itself. The singer mentions in the next few lines about how lying is not a good idea and something to be avoided, and yet he feels as though he's been lying his whole life. He also talks about how being weak and afraid only makes him crave the truth more, even though it may be painful.
The chorus repeats the phrase "RunRaRaRunRunRun" multiple times, perhaps representing the idea of constantly running towards a goal that's impossible to reach. The second verse talks about the pursuit of money and how chasing it relentlessly only leads to fleeting happiness, as it can disappear just as easily as it came. The singer also mentions how this chasing has aged him prematurely, as though it's taken a toll on both his body and soul. The song ends with the chorus repeating the same phrase, emphasizing the idea of constantly running towards something but never quite reaching it, and how the truth is the only thing that seems to make sense amidst all this chaos.
