7 Seconds
Puracane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From our youth
And the smoke takes them away
Missing pieces
You start to feel
Your own price of your weight
Light up the sky with love
Images can we send them together
He's coming home
He's coming home
Please enchant it
He's enchanted
From the air desires are pulled to earth
Seven seconds
And five have gone
He will be in my arms again
He will notice
You're standing here
And will always be this way
Images can we send them to heaven
Light up the sky with love
Images can we send them together
He's coming home
He's coming home
Please enchant it
He's enchanted
From the air desires are pulled to earth
Please enchant it
He's enchanted
From the air desires are pulled to earth
And seven seconds
This somber end
The lyrics to Puracane's "7 Seconds" are open to interpretation, but there seems to be a theme of nostalgia and longing for a loved one. The first stanza touches on the idea of fleeting wishes and how they can disappear just like smoke. The missing pieces could be interpreted as parts of ourselves that we lose or forget over time. The chorus suggests sending images to heaven (perhaps memories or thoughts) and the idea of love lighting up the sky. The loved one is coming home, but there is a sense of enchantment and the pull of desire from the air to the earth. The final line of the song, "and seven seconds, this somber end", may suggest that the moments we cherish with those we love are short-lived and bittersweet because they will eventually come to an end.
Overall, the song seems to explore the theme of impermanence and the idea that we should cherish the moments we have with loved ones while we can. The lyrics are poetic and dreamlike, with a sense of wistfulness and longing.
