Seven
Parov Stelar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That they shine like precious threads of pearls
And your house of clay built by the river
Host your faith in serendipity...
And your house of clay built with your strong arms
Host your faith in serendipity...
You know...
So I keep carrying on, so I keep carrying on...
Only hope can be above it all...
Above it all...
You know...you know...
What I've been waiting for, you are, you are, you are...
The lyrics to Parov Stelar's song Seven have a dreamlike quality to them, depicting a scene of a place by the coastline where precious threads of pearls are shining in the light. The second stanza paints a picture of a house made of clay built by the river, with the inhabitant having a strong faith in serendipity. The repetition of the phrase "you know" throughout the song suggests a sense of familiarity between the singer and the person being addressed, with the singer expressing that the object of their waiting has finally arrived. The phrase "only hope can be above it all" suggests that despite any difficulties faced, hope will always carry through and overcome it all.
The song is a fusion of several genres including jazz, swing, and electronic music, indicative of the experimental nature of Parov Stelar's work. The song is part of Parov Stelar's album "The Demon Diaries", released in 2015. It features the vocals of Anduze, an American singer.
