The Fool's Journey: A Tale of Love and Self-Discovery

Seven's song 'Inside Love' delves into the complex emotions of love, self-awareness, and the internal struggles that come with them. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person grappling with their own pride and the divine intentions they feel trapped within. The reference to 'the cry of the new born baby' symbolizes innocence and the pure potential of new beginnings, suggesting that within this innocence lies the promise of a greater, almost spiritual fulfillment ('the Kingdom comes').

The recurring phrase 'Inside love, what the fool on the hill believes' is a powerful metaphor. The 'fool on the hill' is a reference to someone who is often misunderstood or seen as naive by society, yet possesses a deeper, perhaps wiser understanding of love. The singer identifies with this 'fool,' acknowledging their own naivety and the internal conflict between temptation and the desire to justify inexplicable thoughts. This duality is further emphasized by the imagery of 'gates of heaven'—a place of ultimate peace and understanding—that the singer has glimpsed but let slip away, indicating a lost opportunity or a moment of clarity that was not fully grasped.

The song also touches on the theme of reflection and realization. The line 'Staring at your photograph, the one you gave to me' suggests a moment of introspection where the singer finally sees the truth about themselves and their feelings. The repeated admission 'and the fool is me' underscores a profound self-awareness and acceptance of their own flaws and mistakes. This journey of self-discovery, wrapped in the context of love, makes 'Inside Love' a deeply emotional and relatable song.
