A big fan of Kiss and inspired by artists like Lacuna Coil, Evanescence and Kingdom Come, Stephane's compositions are fascinating mix of hard sounds and emotional turns. Annamaria Cozza will at the same time join Stephane's project and bring all her sensitivity and charisma to the lyrics and the vocals. A couple of months later Gil Reber is captivated by the luring sounds coming out of Stephane's home studio and asks him if the band needs a drum player. The answer is yes and the adventure of November-7 is ready to take off. The first CD 'Mesmerized' released in March 2006 is the result of a meticulous sound research and will soon be followed by a second one.

Two Sides
November-7 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I care once in my life
I dare to get by

I care I dare to get by
Seven miles still to go
I care I dare to survive
For a sparkle

Tell me what would you do
If you were not scared baby
Tell me would you dare to
Be yourself

One time two sides
Entrenched suspicions
One time two sides
To cast the spell

No one's around
The days go down
I know
I dare to be there

I care I dare to get by
Thousand miles still to go
I care I dare to survive
For a sparkle

Tell me what would you do
If you were not scared baby
Tell me would you dare to
Be yourself

One time two sides
Entrenched suspicions

One time two sides
To cast the spell

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Two sides" by November-7 are about overcoming obstacles and facing fears in order to achieve one's goals. The opening line "I care once in my life, I dare to get by" suggests that the singer has not always been motivated or driven, but is now willing to take risks to get ahead. The repetition of "I care" and "I dare" throughout the song highlights this determination, while the image of "seven miles still to go" emphasizes that the journey ahead will be long and challenging.

The chorus of the song frames this struggle as a choice between two sides: "One time two sides, entrenched suspicions / One time two sides, to cast the spell." It is unclear exactly what these two sides represent, but they seem to represent opposing forces that must be balanced or reconciled in some way. The singer is aware that "no one's around" and that "the days go down," but they are still willing to "dare to be there," suggesting that they are willing to take on the challenge alone if necessary.
