Swim
7xvn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If this is living then im over it
I can not sleep no not like this
The guilt I feel is just way too real
So throw me off the cliff ill heal
Im am so sick I can't even find
The strength stand ill just soar and hope I land
Survival ain't the plan
But god forbid love has its hand tonight

IF I DIE RIGHT NOW
DOES IT MEAN ONE THING
DIDN'T IT CHANGE ONE LIFE
DOES ONE CHILD BREATHE
IF I DIE RIGHT NOW
DOES IT MEAN ONE THING
DIDN'T IT CHANGE ONE LIFE
DOES ONE CHILD BREATHE

There's nothing I can say
And there's nothing I can do
No amount of money I can pay
Just to be with you
I can not understand
Why you did what you did
With blood covered hands
I reach for the heavens
There's nothing I can say
And there's nothing I can do
No amount of money I can pay
Just to be with you
I can not understand
Why you did what you did
With blood covered hands
I reach for the heavens

IF I DIE RIGHT NOW
DOES IT MEAN ONE THING
DIDN'T IT CHANGE ONE LIFE
DOES ONE CHILD BREATHE
IF I DIE RIGHT NOW
DOES IT MEAN ONE THING
DIDN'T IT CHANGE ONE LIFE
DOES ONE CHILD BREATHE

With blood covered hands
I reach for the heavens
With blood covered hands
I beg for forgiveness
With blood covered hands
I reach for the heavens
With blood covered hands
I beg for forgiveness
With blood covered hands
I reach for the heavens
With blood covered hands
I beg for forgiveness
With blood covered hands
I reach for the heavens
And you reach back
And you reach back

WITH BLOOD COVERED HANDS
I REACH FOR THE HEAVENS
WITH BLOOD COVERED HANDS
I BEG FOR FORGIVENESS
WITH BLOOD COVERED HANDS
I REACH FOR THE HEAVENS
WITH BLOOD COVERED HANDS
I BEG FOR FORGIVENESS
WITH BLOOD COVERED HANDS
I REACH FOR THE HEAVENS
WITH BLOOD COVERED HANDS
I BEG FOR FORGIVENESS
WITH BLOOD COVERED HANDS
I REACH FOR THE HEAVENS




WITH BLOOD COVERED HANDS
I BEG FOR FORGIVENESS

Overall Meaning

The song "Swim" by 7xvn explores the deep emotions of guilt and redemption. The opening lines "If this is living then I'm over it / I cannot sleep no, not like this / The guilt I feel is just way too real / So throw me off the cliff, I'll heal" give insight into the artist's state of mind. He is clearly overpowered by guilt, unable to sleep and feels that there is no point in living with this burden. However, he still believes in redemption and hopes that throwing himself off the cliff will heal him, making him a better person.


The artist continues to reflect on the impact of his life in the lines "If I die right now / Does it mean one thing? / Didn't it change one life? / Does one child breathe?" He is questioning his significance in the world and whether his actions, even those that have caused harm, have any impact. However, he seems to be optimistic that his life could change someone's, giving him hope that it is never too late to do the right thing.


In the last part of the song, the artist reaches out for forgiveness with the lines "With blood-covered hands, I reach for the heavens / With blood-covered hands, I beg for forgiveness." He pleads for redemption and the opportunity to be forgiven for his past actions.
