Unraveling the Enigma of 'Seven' by And One

The song 'Seven' by And One delves into the haunting and complex aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, particularly focusing on the mysterious collapse of World Trade Center Building 7. The lyrics are laden with references to the event, such as 'Last plane missed the goal' and 'Grey smoke hit the ground,' which evoke the chaos and destruction of that fateful day. The repeated mention of 'WTC mystery' underscores the lingering questions and conspiracy theories surrounding the collapse of Building 7, which fell without being directly hit by a plane.

The song also touches on the broader societal and emotional impact of the attacks. Phrases like 'Sad man company' and 'Rich man company' suggest a critique of both the emotional toll on individuals and the financial interests that may have been at play. The line 'The stars are shining just for money' implies a cynical view of how media and perhaps even the government have capitalized on the tragedy. This is further emphasized by 'And now your TV tells a story,' pointing to the role of media in shaping public perception and possibly manipulating the narrative for profit or control.

The recurring line 'We are the next seven' serves as a chilling reminder of the potential for future tragedies and the ongoing vulnerability felt by society. It suggests a sense of inevitability and perhaps a call to remain vigilant. The song's dark, industrial sound complements its heavy themes, creating an atmosphere of unease and reflection. And One, known for their synthpop and industrial music, often tackles themes of societal issues and personal angst, making 'Seven' a poignant addition to their discography.
