Seventh Seal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
one nation under God
we stand infection
I feel myself screaming
personality are the reasons for everything
why can't we all just live
not denying ourselves of anything?
why are things so attractive?
religion make no idol before God
democracy
one nation under God
longevity
make no idol before God
eternity are the reasons for everything
the mirror shows what we are what we see is what we become
what will happen when the mirror breaks
can I ever walk in the garden
The lyrics of Seventh Seal's song "eden" discuss themes of tolerance, religion, and self-reflection. The opening lines of "toleration of anything and everyone / one nation under God / we stand infection" suggest a call for acceptance and unity. However, the following line "I feel myself screaming" indicates that the singer is still struggling with something. The lines "personality are the reasons for everything / why can't we all just live / not denying ourselves of anything / why are things so attractive?" suggest that perhaps the singer is grappling with the tensions between individualism and communal harmony. The singer questions why people can't just live without denying themselves of anything, implying that perhaps society pressures us to conform to certain norms that may not align with our individual desires.
The lines "for great is the gap to eden / religion make no idol before God / democracy / one nation under God / longevity / make no idol before God / eternity are the reasons for everything" suggest that the concept of Eden - a paradise that was lost due to humanity's disobedience - still holds significance in contemporary society. The reference to religion and the commandment not to make any idols before God provides a hint that perhaps the singer feels like people are placing too much importance on external things rather than seeking a deeper spiritual connection. The references to democracy and longevity suggest a desire for political stability and the idea of living a long life, but the ultimate focus is still on eternity as the reason for everything.
The closing lines of the song, "the mirror shows what we are what we see is what we become / what will happen when the mirror breaks / can I ever walk in the garden" suggest that the singer is concerned about introspection and self-reflection. The "mirror" serves as a metaphor for how we see ourselves and how we present ourselves to others. The final line about walking in the garden could be interpreted as a desire to return to innocence or to restore a lost paradise.
