Seven Nation Army Lyrics
Seven Nation Army
I'm gonna fight 'em off
A seven nation army couldn't hold me back
They're gonna rip em off
Taking their time right behind my back
And I'm talking to myself at night
Because I can't forget
Back and...

The queen of England refers to the Monarch mind control and the hounds of help are the "ELITE". He is without being too blatant about it saying what maybe he and what most MK' d artist go through. Try to break free and live a simple life but most go crazy and are either killed I.e. Tupac, Michael Jackson, Elvis, Kurt Cobain, Marilyn Monroe, etc. Knowledge is POWER.

It's about being sick of the entertainment industry aka the shadows who control it. Messages, mind control, check it mk ultra in which artists are programed like machines. See also true meaning of Eminems I'm not afraid. Educate yourself to the truth though you may then see the world through a new light.

I think... It's actually based on three stages of a specific person's life.
First stage- Fighting willingly, while plots are drawn up against him. He regrets what he's done, and it gets to him. "And a message coming from my eyes says 'leave it alone.'" He's telling a new assailant, challenger, what-have-you, to back off and leave. Then, amazing Guitar bit- Fight.
Second stage- The guilt is getting to him. It's a problem. He hears it everywhere, he sees the results and consequences of his actions, his fighting, and becomes paranoid. He wants out. They know he's leaving, and try to stop him. "And if I catch it coming back my way, I'm gonna serve it to you." Don't mess with me, or I'll mess you up. Just let me leave. "And a feeling coming my bones says 'find a home'" Music- He fights again before he finally gets a chance to get out.
Third Stage- He's gonna go to a simpler life, a farmer in farm land. He's gonna try his hardest, and work his hardest. He does, but he can't seem to be satisfied. It's not working out right. And his very soul yearns for his old life, as a fighter. So, at long last, he returns. He goes back to his old life. "And the stains coming from my blood
Tell me go back home." Returns to his old life, and fights again. -
drugs and paranoia.
message coming from my eyes says leave it alone.
i'm gonna work the straw.
i'm bleeding right before the lord.
i'm thinking it's a song about cocaine and his conscience telling him to stop before it's too late. -
When the UN recognized Israel as a nation in 1948, it was invaded within hours by a "seven nation army" of seven Arab countries -- Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon,Saudi Arabia and Yemen. Any connection with this song?
-
In the video, Jack points to home (Detroit, MI) on the hand map while saying the line, "far from this opera for evermore" indicating he wants to literally get away from the physical place.
-
My note is just on the reference to the seven nations, it could just be a simple reference to the Indian seven nations which was known as a military powerhouse, and his reference that a seven nation army could not hold him back is just a note to one of the most powerful indian alliances in history and the fact that he is from the northern United States this would be a common term.
-
This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway
-
The seven nation army are the armies of the seven arab nations that went to war against israel in the six days war in 1967. Just saying that like israel he won't be held back, by who ever or what ever. What the whole song is about I think only he will ever know that.

7 Nation Army
To me it means
the 7 nations of the world
all the media propaganda
building people up to be who they want them to be
Its kinda like "they" (people with influence)
this song reminds me of
A perfect circle's Counting bodies like sheep......
All the media (sports, tv, Movies, Music,)
pretty much keeps us asleep
good for jack to let them know even though they are
"takeing their time right behind my back"
it dosnt bother him because all he really needs is a place where he feels home and can remeber where he is from
This song says fuck you ill be myself forver
peace
S to the G -
That's how jack white used to say salvation army.
Macayla -
I think it's about being cheated on "theyre gonna rip it off, taking thier time right behind my back" and trying to deal with somone you love cheating on you with someone else.
-
I thought it was about an army.
-
I think this song is about being paranoid and nervous.
