Seven Days
Lady Pills Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Seven days and seven ways
To work together to make things better
Things I did and the things you said
And the things we both want to forget

From my window I can see
Clouds are only temporary
And on the ground there's only gray

But we're gonna be okay

You are sick and I am sick
Of the people we used to hang out with
You are bored and I am bored
Of the people we used to be before

But from my window I can see
Clouds are only temporary

And on the ground there's only gray
But we're gonna be okay

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Lady Pills' song "Seven Days" explore the idea of moving on from certain people and situations in order to better one's life. The opening lines, "Seven days and seven ways, To work together to make things better" suggest a deliberate effort to improve one's life. The following lines, "Things I did and the things you said, And the things we both want to forget" suggest a past that hasn't been perfect, but one that both parties want to move on from.

The song overall has a positive message. Even though the current situation may not be ideal, there is always potential for things to get better. As the chorus repeats twice, "From my window I can see, Clouds are only temporary, And on the ground there's only gray, But we're gonna be okay." The repetition emphasizing the idea that although things may seem bleak, there is hope for a brighter future. Additionally, the lines "You are sick and I am sick, Of the people we used to hang out with, You are bored and I am bored, Of the people we used to be before" speak to the idea that sometimes friendships and situations can become stagnant, and it is okay to let them go and move on to new things.

Line by Line Meaning

Seven days and seven ways
There's a whole week to find different approaches

To work together to make things better
We can collaborate to improve our situation

Things I did and the things you said
We've both made mistakes and said hurtful things

And the things we both want to forget
We need to move on from past conflicts

From my window I can see
I have a different perspective on things

Clouds are only temporary
Problems will pass

And on the ground there's only gray
Life may seem dull or depressing

But we're gonna be okay
We'll make it through the tough times

You are sick and I am sick
We're bored and unhappy

Of the people we used to hang out with
We don't enjoy spending time with our former friends

You are bored and I am bored
We crave something new and exciting
