Seven Veils Lyrics

I see ahead by a hundred moves
And I saw you, but I let you saw me in two
'Cause that's what illusionists do
The way you kissed me when you lost another valentine
The way you kissed me when you lost another valentine
The way you kissed me when you lost another valentine

There's no roses in this garden
No sun melting in the sea
I've been over and over and over and over it
You live for the final dance
Take your seven veils and sail the seven seas

Oh the roar and the whisper
In the focus of your stare
(Did we ever see or did I imagine harmony?)
The sordid rapture of draw and capture
Back to the four walls of your square

There's no roses in this garden
No sun melting in the sea
I've been over and over and over and over it
You live for the final dance
Take your seven veils and sail the seven seas
And don't come back for me

There's no roses in this garden
No sun melting in the sea
Over and over and over and over it
You live for the final dance
Take your seven veils and sail the seven seas

There's no roses in this garden
No sun melting in the sea
Over and over and over and over it
Take this final dance
Take your seven veils and sail the seven seas

What is the Meaning of Seven Veils?

Dive into the depths of a magician's love life, where illusions are not just for the stage! 🎩 "Seven Veils" by Elbow spins a tale of romantic sleight of hand, with our protagonist both enchanted and ensnared by a lover who's as elusive as they are captivating. The repeated plea to "take your seven veils and sail the seven seas" isn't just about globe-trotting—it's an emotional exodus plea from someone tired of being part of an act. No roses? No sunset? Just over it. It seems our lovelorn singer is ready to drop the curtain on this performance, suggesting that sometimes, the most magical act is knowing when to disappear from a tricky relationship.
