Frontman Alex Turner’s lyrics are a labyrinth of cultural references and enigmatic romance, putting listeners under a spell of morbid fascination.

Diving deep into the striking yet enigmatic song ‘7’ by the Arctic Monkeys drums up a symphony of youthful exuberance layered with the nuanced trepidation of first encounters.
