Triple 7
Nocturnal Desires and Longing: Triple 7 by Japanese Breakfast Unveiled
Lyrics
Don't you know I've always been this way?
Expressing a consistent self, possibly suggesting a known and unchanging identity.
I look to you through the work week
Seeking solace or connection with someone during the work week.
And I love a man in uniform
Expressing admiration for a man in uniform, possibly symbolizing stability or authority.
'Cause he loves me like a slot machine
Comparing the love received to the unpredictability of a slot machine.
From the valley of loose women
Referring to a place associated with promiscuity or freedom.
In the cruel light of morning
Reflecting on experiences in the harsh reality of morning light.
Call out my name like something
Desiring to be called out with intensity, akin to a distant echo.
From the bottom of a well
Imagining the call echoing from the depths, possibly symbolizing a deep connection.
Oh, how I want, how I need
Expressing intense want and need.
How I cling to your sleeves 'til they're like lacerated sails
Describing a clinging relationship that becomes damaged and torn like sails.
But in the night, I am someone else
Hinting at a transformation or shift in identity during the night.
Don't you know it's always been the same?
Emphasizing the persistence of a certain situation or pattern.
A pure woman's hard to find, to come by these days
Noting the rarity of a virtuous woman in contemporary times.
And I know the looks of urge and scorn
Acknowledging familiarity with both desire and disdainful looks.
And I know the role I'm meant to play
Recognizing a predefined role as the "other woman" in a relationship.
The role of the other woman
Accepting the role with a sense of resignation or inevitability.
Who will spend her life longing
Anticipating a life filled with longing due to the chosen role.
Call out my name like something
Reiterating the desire for a passionate and profound call.
From the bottom of a well
Reinforcing the depth of the desired connection, perhaps with a hint of isolation.
Oh, how I want, how I need
Expressing intense want and need (repeated from line 10).
How I cling to your sleeves 'til they're all fucked beyond repairs
Describing a continued clinging that has led to irreparable damage.
But in the night, I am someone else
Suggesting a transformation into a different persona during the night.
Yes, in the night, I am someone else
Confirming the altered identity during the night.
Oh, in the night, I am someone else
Reiterating the transformation into a different self during the night.
