Nocturnal
7xvn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes it's hard to
Know where to find love
In a place like this
In a broken world
In a fractured shell
And I aim above but I always miss
Disregard all my random thoughts
I just carry on when I think a lot
I think if you leave you'd be better off
What does it mean to be a man
I swear to god if I hear don't cry one more time
I'm tearing this house apart
What does it mean to be a man
I swear to god if I hear don't cry one more time
I'm tearing this house apart

Sometimes it's hard to
Know where to find love
In a place like this
In a broken world
In a fractured shell
And I aim above but I always miss
Disregard all my random thoughts
I just carry on when I think a lot
I think if you leave you'd be better off
What does it mean to be a man
I swear to god if I hear don't cry one more time
I'm tearing this house apart
What does it mean to be a man
I swear to god if I hear don't cry one more time
I'm tearing this house apart

Where did you go? Drowning
Where did you go? Back to me




Where did you go? Drowning
Where did you go? Back to me

Overall Meaning

The song "Nocturnal" by 7xvn is a musing on the difficulty of finding love and meaning in a broken and fractured world. The lines "Sometimes it's hard to know where to find love in a place like this/In a broken world/In a fractured shell" convey the sense of despair that can come from feeling lost and alone. The singer of the song is searching for meaning and connection, but is struggling to find it. His attempts to rise above his circumstances and connect with something greater are symbolized by his aim "above," but he is always falling short.


The singer's thoughts often turn dark, with lines like "I think if you leave you'd be better off" suggesting a sense of hopelessness and a lack of self-worth. He is trying to grapple with what it means to be a man, seeking to understand his role in a world that seems to be falling apart. The repeated refrain "What does it mean to be a man/I swear to god if I hear don't cry one more time/I'm tearing this house apart" suggests a frustration with traditional masculine expectations that leave little room for vulnerability or emotional expression.


The repeated lines "Where did you go? Drowning/Where did you go? Back to me" hint at a past relationship or connection that has been lost, leaving the singer adrift and searching for meaning. Overall, "Nocturnal" is a poignant reflection on the difficulty of finding love and purpose in a world that can often feel cold and impersonal.
