Seven Thunders
Dokken Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Demon eyes
And the fate is coming down on you
Fire in her eyes
The love she gives she says is all for you

Come the night
You will pay the price
In the night
No one by your side
In the night
She will come to you
In the night
She take you down

Seven thunders
In her eyes
Seven thunders
And no where you can hide
If you can

Won't stop to look at where she's been
All the same
She's telling lies if you believe its true

Comes the night
You will pay the price
In the night
No one by your side
In the night
She will come to you
In the night
She'll take you down

In the night
You will pay the price
In the night
She will come and take your life
In the night
She will seal your fate
In the night
She'll take you down

Seven thunders
In her eyes
Seven thunders
She threw the dice
Seven Thunders
You pay the price
Seven Thunders
Now she took you in the night
Seven Thunders
She told you lies
Seven Thunders
The love she brings is not for you
Seven Thunders




Seven thunders
In her eyes

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Dokken's song Seven Thunders depict a story of a woman with demon eyes who comes to take down her victims at night. She offers them love, but it's only a facade to lure them into her trap. The lyrics speak of how the victim will pay the price, and no one will be by their side, leaving them vulnerable to the woman's attack. The repeated phrase "seven thunders" is meant to signify the inevitability of the victim's fate, as they cannot escape the woman's grasp. The lyrics suggest that the woman is not to be trusted, as she tells lies to those who believe her, and the love she brings is not genuine.


The metaphor of "seven thunders" adds depth to the lyrics, with "thunder" being a powerful force of nature that symbolizes the woman's strength and control over her victims. It also adds a sense of foreboding, as the number seven is often associated with luck or destiny. The lyrics suggest that the victim has no control over their fate, and the woman is the one who holds all the power. The repetition of the phrase throughout the song drives home the idea that the victim's fate is sealed and there is no escaping it.


Overall, Seven Thunders is a cautionary tale about the dangers of falling for someone who may not have your best interests at heart. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a woman who is not to be trusted, and a victim who becomes ensnared in her trap.
