Seven
Nostradameus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, here I'm standing once again
With nowhere to go, and all my confidence is gone
I feel you're talking about us again
As if I didn't know, but still you hide behind my back
I've no respect left anymore
I thought I could trust you, but now
You've shown me who you are
You told me this, and you told me that
You're so full of shit, so much for honesty, but...

[Pre-chorus]
How do you like what the mirror reflects
How do you feel when you look at yourselves
How do you enjoy the time you have left
And how could you think I would forget?





[Chorus]

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Nostradameus's song Seven seem to be about the feeling of betrayal and losing trust in someone close to the singer. The song starts with the singer feeling lost and without confidence, indicating that something has happened that has affected their sense of self-worth. They seem to be aware that someone has been talking about them behind their back and hiding it from them, causing them to lose whatever respect they had left for that person. The lyrics suggest that the person has been dishonest and deceitful, making false promises and claims, leading to the singer's distrust.


The pre-chorus seems to be an introspective moment, where the singer questions the actions and motivations of those around them. They ask how people can enjoy their lives while being dishonest and immoral, and how they could expect the singer to forget what has happened. The chorus serves as a defiant statement, suggesting that despite the betrayal, the singer is not going to forget what has happened and will not forgive their actions.


The song overall conveys a sense of disappointment and disillusionment with people who are not true to their word and who deceive others. It also highlights the importance of trust and honesty in relationships and how easily they can be broken.
