Lyric interpretation of "Seven Nation Army" by the White Stripes


Song: Seven Nation Army
Artist: White stripes
Trivia: "Salvation Army" was actually misspoke into "Seven Nation Army"
Source: Random song copied accidentally.

Interpretation:
I'm gonna fight 'em all
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
Behind a cigarette
And the message coming from my eyes
Says leave it alone


The author is fighting off lot of feelings of hatred that are coming at him like the
bullets of war. He does not want to get entangled in it , but as his mind tries
to hold him back with all its strength - he is growing more skeptic about the rumors\
things going around about him.
He is planning and plotting a way out of this pitfall he sees in the far, he is contemplating
ways to put the flame off as his soul wants him to do the same.

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


Author is aware that everyone in this world past\present\future across all sections of society has\had a story, that made them or broke them or remade them into what they are. It is a well known fact and that doesn't make anyone  special because it is not unique to all. He is also being indifferent to his own story, he feels a sense of empathy or self pity for himself from time to time. Which he wants to remove from his well focused mind. He wants to build a box for such feelings and move on.

Snake Eyes (G.I. Joe)



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


He wants to go home away from the toxic drama that is happening around him, he wants to continue his hard work and devote his life to a cause or the one which he is pursuing already. He realizes that the more effort he puts he is being robbed of his health (mostly mental health). He wants to complete his work even if it kills him while he still wrestles to put his self pity behind.
