House of Lords Lyrics

Seven
Mark Baker - James Christian - Jimi Bell

She was wild, she was free
And her name was seven
And the bliss
She was fixin' was
Closing in on me

We were high
High as a wounded bird
We would fly
Until it hurt

She'd go downtown
For the pleasure
To capture the color of dreams
But in the dark eyes of forever
I knew we'd cry, cry, cry

Seven was heaven in my eyes
Just like a girl
She made my world go round and round and round

There were nights
When the lights
Looked like waves from heaven
But the shapes
Of the city moved
Like an angry sea

We would ride
Into the wild blue
We were trying
Tryin' to find the truth

We were blinded
By the pleasure
And all the color of dreams

But in the dark eyes of forever
I knew we'd cry, cry, cry

Seven was heaven in my eyes
Just like a girl
She made my world go round and round

Seven was heaven in my eyes
And like a drug we fell in love
And watched the world go round and round

She'd go downtown
For the pleasure
To capture the color of dreams
But in the dark eyes of forever
I knew we'd cry, cry, cry

Seven was heaven in my eyes
Just like a girl
She made my world go round and round

Seven was heaven in my eyes




And like a drug we fell in love
And watched the world go round and round

Overall Meaning

The House of Lords song "Seven" tells the story of a wild and free woman, named Seven, who captivates the attention of the singer. The singer describes the way that he and Seven would find pleasure by engaging in reckless behavior and flying high. However, despite the temporary feeling of freedom they experience, there is the underlying thought that these actions will lead to sadness in the end. When the pair is in the city at night, the neon lights take on a beautiful shape, but the city itself is dark and angry, mirroring the emotions of the couple. Ultimately, the singer knows that there will be pain associated with Seven, even though he is enamored with her.


Throughout the song, the lyrics use powerful, descriptive imagery to detail the reckless behavior of the couple. The phrase "capturing the color of dreams" is particularly evocative, and paints a vivid picture of Seven's desire to experience life to the fullest. The song echoes the themes expressed in many rock ballads of the era, including the idea that living recklessly and indulging in pleasure can lead to both happiness and despair.

You are one of the best Gina. I love your voice, it's so clear and strong yet, so feminine. So much details and not just fillers. You're a great teacher.

MarPat

Spot on! This is for 7th lord in the 2nd house. We met online but we had our first date at the restaurant where we both ended up working before we got married. I have been married for 21 years. Excellent work, Gina, as usual. Thank you for your channel. I was only able to study under Sanjay Rath for a brief period and was not able to finish my studies with him due to my work and destiny. Your channel is extremely nourishing for me. My work is very hard, because my my karma runs deep, and this channel is uplifting. A deep gratitude to you. 🙏🏽

I'm certain your Destiny will provide you with a teacher who is a much better fit...I have seen this scenario with many students who only studied with 'Guru Ji' for a brief period of time. Best of luck.

Thank you for this amazingly accurate video, Gina 🙏🏼
My 7th house is ruled by Mars (8H) and Ketu (6H), and in 7th house I have Moon-Saturn (vish). Is this position considered paap kartari yoga?
Relationships have really taught me so much, I’ve gone through many different types and ups and downs.
Ultimately, spirituality and surrendering to God have indeed been the most profound remedy 🙂
