Seventh Heaven
Moon Halo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One by one they all fall down
Two by two they form a crowd
Three by three they live in harmony
That sounds good to me

Four by four they go to war
Five by five try to stay alive
Six by six they still play their dirty tricks
Just to get their fix

Seventh Heaven... Seventh Heaven
Seventh Heaven... Seventh Heaven

Eight by eight they all spread hate
Nine by nine they tow the line
Ten by ten they do it all over again
And again and again...

Seventh Heaven... Seventh Heaven
Seventh Heaven... Seventh Heaven

Seventh Heaven... Seventh Heaven
Seventh Heaven... Seventh Heaven


One by one they all fall down

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Moon Halo's song Seventh Heaven address the idea of group dynamics and societal norms, highlighting the varying degrees of harmony and conflict that arise when people come together. The first verse describes the peaceful coexistence that can be achieved when people live in harmony, coming together in groups of three. However, as the numbers increase, so does the potential for strife and discord, with groups of four by four going to war and groups of eight by eight spreading hate.


The repetition of "Seventh Heaven" throughout the song serves to emphasize the beauty and tranquility that can exist in groups of seven, while also contrasting it with the chaos and violence that can arise in larger groups. The final lines of the song, "One by one they all fall down," suggest that even the most idealistic visions of harmony and order are ultimately fleeting, with all groups eventually dissolving.


Overall, the lyrics to "Seventh Heaven" offer a commentary on the complexities of human relationships and the challenges of finding and maintaining balance in group dynamics.
