What does the line "2 sevens together" mean?
U can go 2 the zoo but U can't feed guerillas
Can't feed guerillas. Left-wing guerillas
Go 2 the zoo but U can't feed guerillas
Who wanna blow up the world.

Is it about forgiving the person he's talking to? shrug ...if so, the number is actually 490 (which actually means till "time indefinite").

Matt 18:21-22: Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

Who is this song to anyway? That might give us an idea. (If it does have to do with forgiveness, then it's cool he performed this recently with Wendy).

this is just a thought, but if u place 2 sevens together(one being drawn backward), u get a mirrored reflection. maybe he was re-evaluating his life, after the untimely death of his mother.

"Still, it's nice 2 know, when bodies wear out, we can get another.
What does that 1 thing have 2 do with the other one?
I don't know, i was just thinking about my mother."

he's definately thinking about the good old days, throughout the whole jam.

""Mirror tiles above the bed. Fishing nets and posters all over the wall.
Sometimes I just wanna sit out on the stoop, and play my guitar, and just watch all the cars roll by"

it seems like a nostalgic release 4 him. but this is just what i think. i've been wrong before wink

7 is the number for God (6 is the number of man). So, I assume, a 7 one be one who accepts/give themselves to God. Guess on my part.

i feel so stupid now -- i looked at the song, and it does seem to be speaking of the year 1977 (afros, mirrored tiles, etc) -- where Prince was at before the world even knew him. cool!

Really? That's so interesting - where is this from? Numerology or something? I'm trying to somehow make two 7's into 490 - shouldn't there be a 10 in there too somewhere? Then again, it'd be just like Prince to screw up a math problem in the middle of such a gorgeous song. wink

The Magic Seven. The limits of mans mind...all people are 7 plus or minus 1 or 2, that is...there are limits to mans mind. Bill Gates is a 7 plus 2 mind.
