Seven Hours
The Fauns Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One summer's day
So lost, i wandered
Seven hours or so
I don't know why i drifted underneath the sun
I walk with darkness all around me
Down to the (shallow bay?)
Tip-toed away
One summer's day
So lost, i wandered
Several hours or so
Into the deep, i drifted up beneath the waves
I walk with dreams' low light surrounding(?)
The wilderness and fish to guide me(?)
Down to the secret place
Once more, i felt alive
I left my fear subside
Half remember dreams of you
I think i'll stay a while
The Fauns's song "Seven Hours" is a beautiful yet haunting song. It speaks about a person who is wandering aimlessly in the wilderness for about seven hours. Their mind is consumed with the darkness that is present all around them, but the glow of the fireflies helps them to navigate in the right direction. The song is quite metaphorical since it's not clear why the singer has decided to undertake this journey, and the destination is ambiguous. It may be interpreted as a journey of self-discovery or an escape from the world's chaos.
The second half of the song takes a slightly different direction as the singer drifts into the deep and gets consumed by the darkness of the ocean. The lyrics suggest that the person's dream had brought them to a secret place where they felt safe, and they decided to stay. This place could be a metaphor for an imaginary destination where the person finds peace and ultimate satisfaction.
Overall, the song drips with imagery, thought-provoking lyrics, and stunning vocals. The singer's journey may resonate with anyone who is looking for purpose, longing for an escape or just doing some introspection.

Tip-toe away
Quietly leave
One summer's day
On a summer day
So lost, i wandered
Confused, I roamed
Seven hours or so
For about 7 hours
I don't know why i drifted underneath the sun
I'm unsure why I aimlessly walked in the heat
I walk with darkness all around me
I walk surrounded by darkness
The fireflies light up to guide my path
Fireflies illuminate the way I go
Down to the (shallow bay?)
Towards the shallow bay?
Into the deep, i drifted up beneath the waves
I floated deep below the waves
I walk with dreams' low light surrounding(?)
I walk with a dim light, as if in a dream
The wilderness and fish to guide me(?)
Wild creatures and fish act as my guides
Down to the secret place
Towards the hidden location
Once more, i felt alive
I felt revived
I left my fear subside
I let my fear fade away
Half remember dreams of you
I almost recall dreaming of you
I think i'll stay a while
I plan to remain here for some time

I had to leave during hexvessel's performance!! I went to the concert only for The Fauns and even with alcest I've stayed indoors for a couple of songs. But it worth the time and the money specially because I met Alison and the rest of the band personaly!!
