Prince - 7 Lyrics
All 7 and we'll watch them fall
They stand in the way of love
And we will smoke them all
With an intellect and a savoir-faire
No one else in the whole universe
Will ever compare
First 7 is the number that some relate to Spiritual light. But since they stand in the way of love, I would guess they are the heretics that claim
religious authority through this front. So lets say the religious right, or those in power that use religion for gain, yet really live for power and
greed. Note they are labeled as intellects an savoir-faire(literally "know how to do"; to respond appropriately to any situation) Those that use
calculated moves.
I am urs now and u are mine
And 2gether we'll love through
All space and time, so don't cry
One day all 7 will die
Speaking to the audience, reassuring them peace will eventually arrive. When the 7 go away.
And I saw an angel come down un2 me
In her hands she holds the very key
Words of compassion, words of peace
And in the distance, an army's marching feet (1 2 3 4 - 1 2 34)
But behold, we will watch them fall
Key for me is faith or belief, others claim it as hidden knowledge. He says it is the truth of love and peace. The army and violence fades
away(distance fall), because of our faith in their demise, they leave our thoughts and worries.
And we lay down on the sand of the sea
And before us animosity will stand and decree
That we speak not of love only blasphemy
And in the distance, 6 others will curse me
But that's alright (that's alright)
4 I will watch them fall (1 2 3 4 5 6 7)
Beach is a huge metaphor, where we will walk with the saints. The voices from hate, who are in power, which is why they can decree, use their false
dogma to stand in the way of love by accusing blasphemy. 6 is the number of darkness, they attack also with curses. Then again he says we will make
it through.
And we will see a plague and a river of blood
And every evil soul will surely die in spite of
Their 7 tears, but do not fear
4 in the distance, 12 souls from now
U and me will still be here - we will still be here
This is out of revelations, the plague and the river of blood. So he is speaking of the end when the wicked are cast out suffering the second death.
Regardless of their false claims, now just tears.
This is important, and why I accept this is connected with religious beliefs. Some call Jesus the fourth prophet. I believe him to be the son of
God, and part of the holy trinity. But some line them up Abraham, Moses, David and Jesus. so Jesus in the distance, and his 12 disciples returning.
At the time of his return, the righteous will still be here, the false believers, and the wicked will not.
There will be a new city with streets of gold
The young so educated they never grow old
And there will be no death 4 with every breath
A voice of many colors sings a song
That's so bold
Sing it while we watch them fall
This is new Jerusalem out of the Bible, it says the streets will be paved with gold. Also eternal life and sharing of knowledge. 'Jesus with every
breath', is all will praise the Lord. The song will be the 'new song' only those in the book of life are taught. This is all straight out of the
Bible.
That's my best guess, but the interpreter is different for all, just use discernment.
