Monday morning
7ORDER
The Bittersweet Symphony of Love and Farewell
7ORDER's song "Monday morning" delves into the emotional turbulence of a relationship that is on the brink of ending. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that is struggling to communicate and connect. The protagonist is confused and hurt, not understanding what they might have done to cause the distance between them and their partner. The repeated plea, "Hey, can you hear me?" underscores the desperation and longing for clarity and connection. The use of both English and Japanese in the lyrics adds a layer of cultural depth, reflecting the band's roots and the universal nature of the emotions being expressed.
The song's structure, with its references to specific days of the week, highlights the passage of time and the changing dynamics of the relationship. Monday morning symbolizes a time of hope and connection, as the partner was calling, but by Friday evening, the connection has faded, leaving the protagonist feeling abandoned. This contrast between the beginning and the end of the week serves as a metaphor for the highs and lows of the relationship. The repeated requests for one more kiss and hug signify a yearning to hold onto the fleeting moments of intimacy and affection.
The chorus, with its nostalgic and melancholic tone, emphasizes the finality of the relationship's end. The phrase "Memory is over sayonara nanda" signifies a farewell to the memories they once shared. Despite the pain, the protagonist continues to express their love through the act of writing and singing, as a way to cope with the loss. The song captures the essence of love's fragility and the heartache of saying goodbye, resonating with anyone who has experienced the bittersweet nature of love and loss.
