VII
ksandr and I.M.M.U.R.E. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Woman offers to pull up a seat
Take in one symphony now
We've just begun to battle
Wrap your heel in bones of steel
Turn the leg, a twist of color
Autumn waited hold it to you
Seven Chinese brothers swallowing the ocean
Seven thousand years to sleep away the pain
She'll return, she will return
This mellow, sweet, short-haired boy
Woman offers to pull up a seat
Take in one symphony now
We've just begun to battle
Wrap your heel in bones of steel
Turn the leg, a twist of color
Autumn waited hold it to you
In the colored come another
Seven Chinese brothers swallowing the ocean
Seven thousand years to sleep away the pain
She will return, she'll return
(She'll return, she'll return)
This mellow, sweet, short-haired boy
Woman offers to pull up a chair
Take in one symphony now
I guess we lost that battle
Wrap your heel in bones of steel
Turn the leg, a twist of color
Autumn waded seven seas
Swimming colored come another
Seven Chinese brothers swallowing the ocean
Seven thousand years the commune I did reign
She will return, she'll return, she will return
The lyrics of "VII" by Ksandr and I.M.M.U.R.E. can be interpreted in various ways, as it presents a blend of abstract and surrealistic lines, which could be seen as a representation of the cyclical nature of life and death. At the beginning of the song, we see a woman offering a seat to a boy while they prepare themselves for a battle, signifying the war or struggle that one has to go through in life. The lines "Wrap your heel in bones of steel/Turn the leg, a twist of color" could symbolize the strength and agility required to face challenges.
Furthermore, the mention of "Seven Chinese brothers", who are trying to swallow the ocean, gives the lyrics a mystic quality. This sequence is repeated several times, possibly to emphasize the idea of cyclical patterns within the universe. The use of the word "swimming" towards the end of the song brings to mind the concept of fluidity and adaptability, suggesting that one can only survive in this world if they learn to swim with the tides.
Overall, "VII" is a song that allows for personal interpretations, and the lyrics seem to be designed to spark deep and meaningful thoughts about life and its intricacies.
