Seven

Natalie Jane's song 'Seven' delves into the complexities and uncertainties of a past relationship. The lyrics reflect a sense of disillusionment and introspection as the narrator questions the authenticity of the love they once shared. The opening lines, 'You and I, What a lie, Wasted time, On a feeling,' set the tone for the song, indicating that the relationship may have been built on false pretenses and fleeting emotions. The narrator expresses regret for not seeing the signs earlier, suggesting that they were blinded by the thrill of the moment.

The recurring question, 'Was it ever really love?' highlights the narrator's doubt about the true nature of their relationship. The lyrics reveal that both parties quickly moved on to other people after their breakup, specifically with individuals they had previously assured each other not to worry about. This behavior raises further doubts about the depth and sincerity of their connection. The mention of 'seven months was just a fling' underscores the fleeting and possibly superficial nature of their time together, leading the narrator to a state of confusion and self-reflection.

The song also touches on themes of identity and self-worth. The line 'Remember when you said you wanted me to go blonde' suggests that the narrator may have felt pressured to change themselves to fit their partner's ideal. This realization, coupled with the partner's quick transition to someone else, adds to the narrator's sense of betrayal and questioning of the relationship's validity. Through 'Seven,' Natalie Jane captures the emotional turmoil of realizing that a seemingly significant relationship may have been nothing more than a temporary illusion.
