Seven Days
Azure Ray Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That keep me hovered above the ground
And nights just blend into the morning
Definition is the first to go down
If I were to stay here between us
I might forget where I'm bound
So I can't stay in between us
I guess I'll walk away
And here to read the future
But forced to breathe out the past
And too many conversations
To uncover what was purposefully lost
Ah
Ah
And we all look so desperate
Showing the guidance that we lack
And we used to be so wistful
I guess we feel it's safer holding back
If I were to stay here between us
I might forget where I'm bound
So I can't stay in between us
I guess I'll walk away
In "Seven Days," the singer from Azure Ray is describing a relationship that is falling apart. She feels that there are seven days below them, that keep her hovering above the ground. The seven days likely represent the past, memories and experiences that have built the relationship up to this present moment. The singer is struggling to keep herself grounded and is slipping away from her partner. Nights are just blending into the morning, and she is losing a sense of herself and the relationship. Her definition, of who she is and what she wants, is slipping away.
The singer is torn between staying and leaving. She acknowledges that if she were to stay, she might forget where she's bound. The relationship is no longer fulfilling and may hold her back from finding her true purpose. She can't stay in between them and chooses to walk away. She's seeking clarity and direction in her life.
The song touches on the common experience of being lost in a relationship, feeling like both people are desperate for something they can't find. They used to be wistful, but they're now holding back because they're scared of getting hurt. The singer wants to read the future, but she's forced to breathe out the past. There are too many conversations and too much unspoken hurt.

They're seven days below us
There are seven days that keep me feeling grounded, even though they're technically below us in physical space.
That keep me hovered above the ground
Despite feeling grounded by these days, they also keep me floating above the mundane and ordinary.
And nights just blend into the morning
Time passes by quickly and without distinction, blurring the line between night and day.
Definition is the first to go down
As time passes and things blend together, it becomes difficult to maintain clarity and define things precisely.
If I were to stay here between us
If I were to remain in this ambiguous and undefined space between us...
I might forget where I'm bound
...I might lose sight of my goals or direction.
So I can't stay in between us
Therefore, I must move away from this uncertainty...
I guess I'll walk away
...and choose a definite path for myself, even if it means walking away from this in-between state with you.
And here to read the future
I am here, in the present, trying to predict what may come in the future.
But forced to breathe out the past
Yet, I am also weighed down by memories and experiences from the past that I am trying to release.
And too many conversations
There have been too many discussions or arguments that have caused more harm than good...
To uncover what was purposefully lost
...and it's difficult to retrieve things that were deliberately hidden or lost along the way.
And we all look so desperate
Many of us appear anxious or needy in our search for guidance or direction.
Showing the guidance that we lack
Ironically, our outward displays of confidence or assurance may reveal our true lack of direction or purpose.
And we used to be so wistful
In the past, we were filled with longing and nostalgia for what could be.
I guess we feel it's safer holding back
Now, we may be hesitant to take risks or pursue our dreams, opting to play it safe instead.

Thanks for the song. I am a huge fan of " The Good Wife". It's going to be hard to see the show now that Will has gone, but I will count down the days until he returns.

Between Josh Charles (Will) looking like he was going to cry and this song...the ending of tonight's The Good Wife had me in tears.
