Seven
Rosa Antica Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(music by Daniel P. / lyrics by Sir Cage)

Now I've finished the tears
My skin is turning steel
You rape my ears
With lies that can't be real
And struck my nerves
Pucking out the past
But I'm not the same
And I'll show you all my

Serenity
New heaven onto me
I've crossed that line
Gripping back my life
I won't cry again
Wasting all my days
It's a power from beyond
Touch me and I will blow

Maybe this time you'll meet the beast that I keep inside!

I'm not to blame – if mercy starts to fade
I'm not to blame – if I am all I have
I'm not to blame – "7"

For seven seasons we travelled together
That's not a good reason for try it again
Now that my mirror has been broken in half
A distorted vision is what you've become
You stink as a plague but only future will tell
Look at the sky, look it's turning black

There's something you don't remind
In darkness I'm not blind
So stay away
Dirty motherfucker stay away
Take away your face
Take away your game
I care about my own

Hold your rage
Keep it for your world
Keep it for your own




(……)
Seven is my message and now I'll show you the way

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Rosa Antica's song "Seven" delve into themes of resilience, empowerment, and personal growth in the face of adversity. The first verse sets a tone of defiance and strength, as the singer proclaims to have shed tears and reinforced her emotional walls in order to withstand the lies and manipulation of others. She describes her past as something she's purging from her system, allowing her to emerge anew and showcase her "serenity". The subsequent stanza emphasizes the singer's refusal to let negative experiences bring her down or consume her, instead prioritizing her own agency and purpose in life. The repetition of "I'm not to blame" can be seen as a response to others who may try to shift blame onto her, while the final line of the verse, "7", acts as a callback to the song's title while also hinting at a deeper meaning that will be revealed later.


The second half of the song shifts from a personal narrative to a more confrontational and even apocalyptic mood. The singer references "seven seasons" spent traveling with someone, but dismisses that as a reason to continue doing so. She declares a "mirror" has been broken in half, likely referring to a self-realization or change in perspective, which has made her see the other person in a "distorted vision". The language turns more harsh and accusatory, almost gleeful in its imagery of the other person as a "plague". Despite this, the singer notes that only the "future will tell" whether this will prove true or not. The final few lines become more menacing, as the singer warns the other to stay away and removes any power they may have had in her life. The repetition of "Keep it for your own" can be seen as the singer forcing the other to deal with their own emotions and problems, while she focuses on her own growth and resilience.
