And it roc… Read Full Bio ↴Seven Circle Sunrise is a hard rock band out of Canton, Ohio.
And it rocks like an unbridled beast that just got stuck in the ass with a hot poker.
“The band’s name has to do with a symbol of sacred geometry called the seed of life. I’m a man of many layers and one of those layers is that I truly believe if a person opens their mind and follows where these seven circles lead them they in turn open themselves up to enlightened; or rather the sun will rise and awaken them.”
This is music with meaning, created from a deeply passionate place and profound experiences that are sometimes heartbreaking but lead to an uplifting resolve.
Seven Circle Sunrise is a band, but the 10 songs on its first album, BEAUTY IN BEING ALONE, are the product of Veno Xavier — singer, guitarist, songwriter and visionary force.
They tell the story of a hard and unsettled youth, marred by tragedy and abuse but also marked by familial devotion, sibling ties and a love of music that put a guitar in Xavier’s hands and led him to vent his feelings through a potent, aggressive and dynamically charged songs that make the “angst” of other bands sound like inconsequential simpering.
Seven Circle Sunrise is not for the faint of heart or those who want a one-time, disposable listen.
Xavier shares, “I’ve realized that many times in my life, if it wasn’t for that guitar a gun would’ve easily taken its place.
That’s what this band is about.
It’s not about sex, drugs, hookers or blow.
If you have had real problems other than breaking up with your girlfriend, than this music is for you.
The one thing I am not is vapid.”

After All
Seven Circle Sunrise Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I refuse to see
Another day's gone by
There's still no remedy
I try to save the night
Don't wanna let go
Don't know what it feels like to be old
Maybe I'm happy after all
I sank into a dream
I wake before I fall
My eyes are on that line
That signals a heartbeat
The one that gave me life
Lies beneath those sheets
I try to save the night
Don't wanna let go
I don't wanna be strong when I'm cold
You're right, I'm wrong
Maybe I'm happy after all
I sank into a dream
I wake before I fall
I remember every little thing that she said
I remember every little thing that she said
You're right, I'm wrong
Maybe I'm happy after all
I sank into a dream
I wake before I fall
You're right, I'm wrong
Maybe I'm happy after all
I sank into a dream
I wake before I fall
I remember, I remember
I wake before I fall
I remember, I remember
I wake before I fall (wake before I fall)
The lyrics of "After All" by Seven Circle Sunrise convey a sense of resignation to the passage of time and an acceptance of one's own mortality. The singer refuses to acknowledge the time of day, suggesting that he or she is unwilling to confront the reality of the moment. Another day has passed, yet there is no remedy for the emptiness or sadness felt. Despite this, the singer tries to "save the night" and hold onto the moment, refusing to let go or feel old.
The chorus suggests a possible shift in perspective for the singer, "You're right, I'm wrong, maybe I'm happy after all." This line hints at a sense of clarity or realization that even though things may not be perfect, maybe there is still happiness to be found in life. The second verse contrasts the fragility of life with the idea of strength, suggesting that sometimes it's okay to not be strong when faced with the cold reality of death. The repeated line "I remember every little thing that she said" adds a nostalgic and somewhat melancholic quality to the song, perhaps alluding to the memory of a loved one who has passed on.
The overall mood of the song is one of acceptance mixed with a touch of sadness. The singer seems to be reflecting on the fleeting nature of life and trying to make peace with it. The dreamlike quality of the lyrics and the soaring melody give the song an ethereal feel, as if the singer is floating above the world, detached from it yet still connected to it.
