Seven Rings In Hand
Steve Conte Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Make believes reborn
Myths, in mind, re-thought
Question all that's known
Legends blurred and torn

Make believes reborn
Myths, in mind, re-thought
Question all that's known
Legends blurred and torn

No such thing as fate for those who speed
A path out of time, instead of just living it
So many things erased before they begin
Hopes un-dream, instead of what could have been

Fortune fades, like words in the sand
Just like that, it nothing, it all just seems
Nothing, it all just seems
Fortune shines, with seven in hand
Back to fact, make real of all that seems
Make real of all that seems

Seven rings in hand
Speed through nights with feet in sand
Seven rings in hand
Wonders all under command
Seven rings in hand
Wild with just one single hand
Seven rings in hand
Arrowed hearts catch fire now

Make believes reborn
Myths, in mind, re-thought
Question all that's known
Legends blurred and torn

No such thing as an arrow through who dreams
Hopes may burden, but, forever, last to give in
So many things need a push or pull to begin
Un-free to move unless another hand gets in

Be it all the same, it's never the same
Just like that, just nothing, it all just means
(Nothing, it all just means)
If all as is, then it's never as is
Back to fact, make reall of all that seems
(Make real of all that seems)

Seven rings in hand
Speed through nights with feet in sand
Seven rings in hand
Wonders all under command
Seven rings in hand
Wild with just one single hand
Seven rings in hand
Arrowed hearts catch fire now

Memories that dance
Fairytales in trance
Know what to believe
Nothing is up to chance

Make believes reborn
Myths, in mind, re-thought
Question all that's known
Legends blurred and torn

Seven rings in hand
Speed through nights with feet in sand
Seven rings in hand
Wonders all under command
Seven rings in hand
Wild with just one single hand
Seven rings in hand
Arrowed hearts catch fire now

Seven rings in hand
Nights with feet in sand
Seven rings in hand... Seven rings in hand

Make believes reborn
Myths, in mind, re-thought
Question all that's known
Legends blurred and torn

Seven seas in hand
Speed of sound through sands




All our hopes and plans
In one single hand

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Steve Conte's "Seven Rings in Hand" seem to be talking about a number of different themes. At the heart of the song is the idea that our beliefs and legends are constantly being reborn and re-thought. The singer questions what is known and sees how many stories and myths have become blurred and torn over time. This is perhaps a call to be critical of the stories and beliefs we hold dear and to constantly re-examine them, rather than blindly accepting them as true.


The song then moves on to questions of fate and fortune. The singer asserts that there is no such thing as fate for those who speed, and that we should create our own paths out of time, rather than just living out predetermined destinies. The idea of fortune is also explored, with the singer acknowledging that it fades like words in the sand, but also pointing to the possibility of shining fortunes when we have seven rings in hand. The overall message here seems to be one of taking control of our lives and our destinies, rather than waiting for outside forces to determine them.


The final part of the song seems to be touching on themes of memory and the power of stories to shape our beliefs and understanding of the world. The singer talks of memories that dance and fairytales that trance, and urges us to know what to believe, as nothing is up to chance. This could be seen as an admonition to be critical of the stories we are told, as they have the power to shape our beliefs and actions.


Overall, the song seems to be preaching a message of critical inquiry and self-determination. It urges listeners to question what they think they know, to create their own paths, and to be vigilant in examining the stories we tell ourselves and each other.
