Seven Nation Army
Wc2006 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 to "Seven Nation Army" by WC2006 appear to be about a person who is confident in their ability to overcome any obstacle, no matter how many people or obstacles may stand in their way. The first two lines express this confidence, with the singer saying they will fight "all" of their enemies and that even a "seven nation army" couldn't stop them. The next two lines suggest that their enemies are trying to hold them back, but they won't be able to do so for long, as the singer is aware of their opponents' intentions and movements.
The image of the singer talking to themselves at night behind a cigarette suggests an anxious or troubled mind, one that is unsure whether they can follow through on their previous statements. However, the "message coming from [their] eyes" tells them to "leave it alone," as they know they can overcome any obstacle thrown their way.
The next lines suggest that the singer doesn't want to hear stories or complaints from others- they are focused only on their own goals and aspirations. If someone or something gets in their way, they'll "serve it to [them]" with no hesitation. The final lines seem to suggest that the singer will leave their past behind and start anew in a different location, sacrificing everything to pursue their dreams.
Overall, "Seven Nation Army" appears to be a song about self-confidence and determination in the face of adversity. Its driving rhythm and memorable chorus make it an anthem for those who refuse to let anyone or anything stand in their way.
