Seven Nation Army
Jamar Rogers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A seven nation army couldn′t hold me back
They're gonna rip it off
Taking their time right behind my back
And I'm talkin′ to myself at night
Because I can′t forget
Back and forth through my mind
Behind a cigarette
And the message comin' from my eyes says leave it alone...
Oh, oh oh oh oh...
Oh, oh oh oh oh oh... (Repeat)
Oh, oh oh oh oh oh... oh
Oh Yeah yeah,
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah,
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah...
Don′t wanna hear about it
Every single one's got a story to tell
They all know about it
From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell
If I catch it comin′ back my way
I'm gonna serve it to you,
You you you you you you
And that ain′t what you want to hear
But that's what I'll do
And the feeling coming from my bones says find a home...
(Repeat)
Oh yeah yeah,
Yeah I′m going to Wichita
Far from this opera forevermore
I′m gonna work the straw
Make the sweat drip, drip out of every pore
And I'm bleeding, and I′m bleeding, and I'm bleeding
Right before the Lord
All the words are gonna bleed from me
And I will think no more oh.
And the stains comin′ from my blood tell me "Go back home"...
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh yeah
Yeah. Yeah

I'm gonna fight 'em off
I will resist and not let them overcome me
A seven nation army couldn't hold me back
Even an army consisting of several nations won't be able to stop me
They're gonna rip it off
They aim to take away everything from me
Taking their time right behind my back
These people are patient and waiting for the right moment to strike
And I'm talkin' to myself at night
I have conversations with myself in the dark
Because I can't forget
Because I am unable to erase the memories of the past
Back and forth through my mind
These memories keep coming and going in my head
Behind a cigarette
I conceal my emotions by lighting a cigarette
And the message comin' from my eyes says leave it alone...
My eyes convey the message to let me be and leave me alone
Don't wanna hear about it
I don't want to listen to it
Every single one's got a story to tell
Everyone has their own experiences and tales to share
They all know about it
People are aware of what's going on
From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell
From the most powerful to the weakest entities, all have knowledge of it
If I catch it comin' back my way
If the harm comes back to me
I'm gonna serve it to you, you, you, you, you, you
I will give it back to the ones who caused it without hesitation
And that ain't what you want to hear
But the truth often hurts people, and they don't want to hear it
But that's what I'll do
That's how I will respond
And the feeling coming from my bones says find a home...
A sensation in my bones tells me I need to find a suitable place to live
Yeah, Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Expressing excitement and enthusiasm
I'm going to Wichita
I am planning to go to Wichita
Far from this opera forevermore
I aim to escape from all the dramatic events that occur in my life
I'm gonna work the straw
I will work hard to succeed
Make the sweat drip, drip out of every pore
I will work so hard that it will cause me to sweat profusely
And I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding
I am hurt physically and emotionally
Right before the lord
I am presenting my pain in front of the Lord
All the words are gonna bleed from me
All the emotions I've been holding back will come to the surface
And I will think no more
I won't dwell on my thoughts anymore
And the stains comin' from my blood tell me 'go back home'...
The blood stains indicate that I should go back to my roots and my original home
