"and the stains coming from my blood tell me go back home" (I thought it said THINK instead of SING.I still choose to believe that, because I like it better) Well I'm not EXACTLY sure what this means.I guess it just means that he is going to keep working until he rids himself of his past, and won't think anymore. When it talks about "working the straw", it could mean that he wants to work and just keep working to try and help him forget about his past, just sort of start a new life. "Opera" meaning the drama, the problem, the hell. This is again talking about trying to run away from the problem. It could just be again talking about trying to forget about it and not worry about it. If it says "mind your own", well I guess that could make sense too. Well.if it says "find a home", then I think that's referring to running nning away from his problems, physically or mentally, just trying to get away from it all. Mind your own? Hmm well I looked up the lyrics on a different sight and it said FIND A HOME not MIND YOUR OWN.

"and the feeling coming from my bones says mind your own "

This line is pretty much talking about how he is angry and wants to take revenge on the person who is most to blame for this, whoever is trying to make his life hell. It could be a rumor or some kind of gossip going around, that people have exaggerated and made into a big thing, when it shouldn't be. Everyone knows about it and they keep reminding him, when all he wants to do is forget about it. This is basically talking about his frustration. He keeps telling himself to leave it alone and forget about it, but he can't because it's just so vivid in his mind.įrom the queen of england to the hounds of hell" He's trying to relax, and make himself forget about it. He wants to try and fight them off, he wants them to leave him alone, but they don't.

This line refers to people who keep talking about "it", something that he did or something that happened. General CommentI think that this song is about something lingering in his mind, something that he did and regrets, something that people won't stop talking about, and he just wants to forget it, but people won't let him.Ī seven nation army couldn't hold me back
