Take Three
Club Des Belugas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Playing hard to get
He's reliable as the weather in april
Oh, he's doughty, demanding, flirtatious
And, oh so adorable
You'll never get all in one
So let's take three instead
No, no you will never domesticate me
You look at me
With such sincerity
Telling me that you love me
You so shine and sensitive
And sometime a little be protectable
You never get all in one
So let's take three instead
'cause you will never posses me
No, no you never domesticate me
It's might seem dubious
But threealism
Is what I love
Everyone has to play his part
Oh everything's else is just a bore
Let's go on like this for a little while more
But you never get all in one
So let's take three instead
'cause he will never posses me
No, no you never domesticate me
The lyrics to Club Des Belugas's song "Take Three" explore the complexities of romantic relationships and the desire to not be fully possessed or tamed by a partner. The first verse describes a potential love interest as "loud and wild" yet reliable "as the weather in April" and possessing a flirtatious and adorable quality. Despite these desirable qualities, the singer acknowledges that one can never have everything they want in a partner, hence the suggestion to "take three instead" - to accept and enjoy what is available rather than seeking perfection.
The second verse features the singer describing another potential love interest. This person is described as sincere and sensitive, yet also protectable. Again, the theme of not being fully possessable or domesticated is echoed, as the singer emphasizes that they will not be owned or controlled by either partner. The chorus repeats the suggestion to "take three instead" as a means of embracing imperfection and the reality that no one person can fulfill all of our desires and needs.
Overall, the lyrics of "Take Three" promote a sort of "threealism" - the acceptance of compromise and imperfection in romantic relationships, rather than seeking an unattainable idea of "perfection". The song encourages listeners to enjoy what they have, whether that be one, two, or three partners, rather than fixating on what they may lack or desire in a partner.

You look at me
You stare or gaze at me
With such sincerity

And sometime a little be protectable
Sometimes you need support, care, or defense

But threealism

Is what I love
This is my preferred approach and philosophy
Everyone has to play his part
Each person has a specific role or responsibility in this situation
Oh everything's else is just a bore
Anything beyond these three moments is uninteresting or dull to me
