seeing you with other girls

Natalie Jane's song 'seeing you with other girls' delves into the raw and painful emotions of heartbreak and the struggle of moving on after a significant relationship ends. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of betrayal and the lingering pain that comes from seeing an ex-partner with someone new. The song opens with the protagonist reflecting on the promises made by their former lover, who claimed they were the first and would be the last person they loved. This sets the stage for the deep sense of betrayal and naivety felt by the protagonist, who now grapples with the harsh reality of their ex moving on.

The chorus, with its repetitive and haunting 'Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh,' emphasizes the burning pain of seeing the ex-partner with another girl. The protagonist wishes that their ex could feel the same hurt, highlighting the one-sided nature of their suffering. This emotional turmoil is further amplified by the memories of shared experiences, such as their favorite restaurant, which now serve as painful reminders of what once was. The protagonist's struggle is not just with the loss of the relationship but also with the realization that they have become just a memory to someone who once meant everything to them.

The song also touches on the theme of self-worth and the difficulty of letting go. The line 'You used to tell me that I was your color in grey' signifies how the protagonist was once seen as a source of joy and vibrancy in their ex's life. However, now they find themselves crying in the kitchen, reminiscing about the past while their ex seems to have moved on effortlessly. This stark contrast between the protagonist's ongoing pain and their ex's apparent indifference underscores the deep emotional impact of the breakup. Natalie Jane's poignant lyrics and emotive delivery make 'seeing you with other girls' a powerful exploration of heartbreak, memory, and the painful process of moving on.
