Seven Nation Army
Marc Marée Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm gonna fight 'em off
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 talking to myself at night
Because I can't forget
Back and forth through my mind
Behind a cigarette
And the message coming from my eyes
Says leave it alone
Don't want to hear about it
Every single one's got a story to tell
Everyone knows about it
From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell
And if I catch it coming back my way
I'm gonna serve it to 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
I'm going to Wichita
Far from this opera for evermore
I'm gonna work the straw
Make the sweat 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




And the stains coming from my blood
Tell me go back home

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Marc Marée's song Seven Nation Army are both cryptic and thought-provoking. The song starts off with these words, "I'm gonna fight 'em off A seven nation army couldn't hold me back." This statement seems to suggest that the singer is up against some formidable force, perhaps a group of enemies, but their resolve is unshakeable. They go on to talk about feeling pursued and having to constantly watch their back, with a message coming from their eyes telling others to leave them alone.


The next part of the song talks about everyone having a story to tell, from the Queen of England to the hounds of hell, but the singer doesn't want to hear about it. They seem to have their own journey and obstacles to overcome. They promise to serve anything coming back their way and insist that they will find a home. The song ends with the singer bleeding, feeling like they've given everything they have, and ready to start anew by going to Wichita.


The lyrics of Seven Nation Army leave a lot of room for interpretation, but the overall message seems to be one of resilience, determination, and self-discovery. The singer is confronting their demons and trying to make sense of the world around them. The song's repetitive guitar riff and drumbeat help to drive the message home, adding to the song's intensity and power.


Line by Line Meaning

I'm gonna fight 'em off
I will resist and overcome them


A seven nation army couldn't hold me back
I am unstoppable even against a formidable force


They're gonna rip it off
They will try to take it away from me


Taking their time right behind my back
They are waiting for the right moment to strike


And I'm talking to myself at night
I am consumed by my thoughts and can't sleep


Because I can't forget
It is something I cannot let go of


Back and forth through my mind
It is constantly on replay in my head


Behind a cigarette
I try to distract myself with smoking


And the message coming from my eyes
My eyes communicate to others to leave me alone


Says leave it alone
I do not want anyone to interfere


Don't want to hear about it
I do not want to discuss it or be reminded of it


Every single one's got a story to tell
Everyone has their own struggle and pain


Everyone knows about it
It is a widely known fact or issue


From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell
It affects all walks of life, from royalty to the lowest of the low


And if I catch it coming back my way
If it resurfaces in my life


I'm gonna serve it to you
I will not hesitate to confront and deal with it


And that ain't what you want to hear,
You may not be ready to face it


But that's what I'll do
But I will do what it takes to move forward and heal


And the feeling coming from my bones
My intuition is telling me to change my situation


Says find a home
I need to find a place where I belong


I'm going to Wichita
I am leaving my current environment


Far from this opera for evermore
I am done with the theatrics and drama


I'm gonna work the straw
I will engage in manual labor


Make the sweat drip out of every pore
I will work hard and tirelessly


And I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding
I am in pain and suffering


Right before the lord
At the end of my life


All the words are gonna bleed from me and I will think
I will have no more regrets or unsaid words


No more
I will have complete closure


And the stains coming from my blood
My wounds will heal and I will move on


Tell me go back home
I have found my home and my place in life
