Seven
Arion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Be still my bleeding heart
For we have come so far
And life's about to change
While home it was so near
The road became our trail of tears
Where hope will die and fade away
Is there anything that's permanent
Why everything that's beautiful must end
I'd give anything
if everything came back again
But now I have to face reality
And though
All the years and all the tears were worth the pain
I rule the ruins of what we had
For sevendays heaven will cry your name
Once written in the stars
This tale was only ours, but now
We've reached The End of our tragedy
A funeral of dreams
A future tearing at the seams
It's time to say our last goodbye
All there's left to do is to take a bow
But when I leave I want my scars to show
I'd give anything if everything came back again
But now I have to face reality
And though
All the years and all the tears were worth the pain
I rule the ruins of what we had
For sevendays heaven will cry your name
Is there anything that's permanent
Why everything that's beautiful must end
I'd give anything if everything came back again
But now I have to face reality
And though
All the years and all the tears were worth the pain
I rule the ruins of what we had
For sevendays heaven will cry your name




I rule the ruins of what we had
For sevendays heaven will cry your name

Overall Meaning

The song Seven by Arion is a heart-wrenching reflection on the pain of losing something or someone that you hold dear. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who is struggling to come to terms with the end of a relationship or perhaps the end of an era in their life. The first verse encourages the singer to try and remain calm in the face of the pain that is coming. They advise themselves to remember how far they have come and to prepare for the change that is about to happen. However, the second verse speaks to the profound sense of loss that the singer is experiencing. They describe how their journey has become a "trail of tears" and how hope has faded away. They wonder if anything in life is truly permanent and express a deep longing for things to go back to the way they were.


The chorus highlights the central conflict of the song. The singer acknowledges that everything beautiful must come to an end, but they still long for things to return to the way they were. They assert that they would give anything to have everything come back again but realize that they must face reality. The bridge of the song is one of the most emotional moments, with the singer acknowledging that even though there were years of pain and tears, they wouldn't change a thing because it was all worth it. The final verse reflects on the funeral of dreams and the future that is tearing at the seams. However, despite the pain, the singer wants their scars to show and to be a testament to what they had lost. Even though everything beautiful must come to an end, the singer takes solace in the fact that heaven will cry their name for seven days.
