Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Seven Nation Army" by the White Stripes tell a story of an individual who is embarking on a journey to fight against their enemies. Despite the fact that seven armies are standing in their way, the singer insists that they will not be held back. The repetition of the melody throughout the song, composed of a simple electric guitar riff and bass drum, creates a feeling of determination and urgency. The singer is willing to stand up to the challenge and fight for what they believe in, no matter the odds against them.


The lyrics also have an element of mystery and vagueness, which allows the listener to interpret the meaning in their own way. The line "Behind a cigarette, and the message coming through" leaves room for speculation, with some suggesting that it refers to hidden messages being sent through cigarette smoke. The song's chorus of "oh, oh, oh" is an anthem to rally behind, as the singer expresses their unwavering defiance against their enemies.
