Seventeen a song by MARINA on Foxsoundi
About Seventeen
"Seventeen" is a commentary on class and the struggle for individuality. In the song, Marina describes being the object of a rich boy's desire, despite being from a lower class background. The lyrics describe how she is not willing to conform to his expectations and how her individuality and outspokenness make him feel weak and embarrassed. The chorus then switches to an enigmatic event that happened on the day she turned seventeen, where a king rose and a queen fell, leaving the listeners to guess the meaning behind the metaphor. .
