Seven Star is a brand of cigarette in Japan. To me, this song almost seems like it's a look into the mind of a drug addict who just lost a lover or something. It has a lot of images that suggest to me some sort of a high.

It's a freezing cold morning on Yamate street
I throw away an empty pack of cigarettes
Again today I indulge in loneliness
In my little room where there's no place to step
"Be unloving of my restless cry
Don't look to the future
You can only have confidence in the present
Recognize the need to call out my name
And touch my body"
I love you, I'm crying all alone
It's pointless to fool around on the street at night
The cheap flourescent light of the ticket counter
Don't even caste your shadow
Or long ago days of distorted uncertainty
That call to mind the season
As if tasting the scent of Seven Stars
The thing that I hope for myself, to easily pass through contradiciton
Until your voice that I love more than anything
Will be taken away
The German car that tears apart the silence
And the patrol car siren
Is an explosion
The real world
Floating
"Be unloving of my restless cry
Don't look to the future
You can only have confidence in the present
Recognize the need to call out my name
And touch my body"
"Be unloving of my restless cry
You can only have confidence in the present
Recognize the need to call out my name
And touch my body"
It's a freezing cold morning on Yamate street
I throw away an empty pack of cigarettes
Again today I indulge in loneliness
In my little room where there's no place to step
