Seven Nation Army Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A seven nation army couldn't hold me back
They're gonna rip it off
Taking their time right behind my back
And I'm talking to myself at night
Because I can't forget
Back and forth through my mind
And the message coming from my eyes
Says leave it alone
Don't want to hear about it
Every single one's got a story to tell
Everyone knows about it
From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell
And if I catch it coming back my way
I'm gonna serve it to you
And that ain't what you want to hear
But that's what I'll do
And the feeling coming from my bones
Says find a home
I'm going to Wichita
Far from this opera for evermore
I'm gonna work the straw
Make the sweat drip out of every pore
And I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding
Right before the lord
All the words are gonna bleed from me
And I will sing no more
And the stains coming from my blood
Tell me go back home
The lyrics of Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes speak about the empowering feeling of being able to overcome any obstacle and opposition standing in one's way, no matter how strong or numerous they may be. The singer of the song vows to fight all his detractors and opponents, and nothing can hold him back, not even seven nations working together against him. The lines "they're gonna rip it off, taking their time right behind my back" suggest that his opponents are trying to rip off his achievements, but they cannot outdo him. He talks to himself at night, reflecting on his unwavering determination and his unyielding spirit that keeps him going.
The chorus conveys a sense of indifference towards others' opinions and a strong message to leave him alone, highlighting his self-reliance and independence. He is not interested in hearing about anyone else's story because he knows that every individual has one to tell. No matter how different their experiences may be, everyone knows what it feels like to fight and conquer their challenges. The line "from the Queen of England to the hounds of hell" illustrates how this victory is not limited to a privileged few, but anyone who perseveres can attain it.
The second part of the song depicts the singer's journey to Wichita, where he plans to work hard and make a living. He bleeds and sweats for his work, and his blood and sweat represent his struggles and battles. As he reaches the end of his journey, he feels like he has nothing left to give, and his words will bleed no more. The stains from his blood tell him to go back home, as if he has accomplished everything he set out to do.
