3's & 7's Lyrics

Lie, lie to my face
Tell me it ain't nothing
That's what I wanna hear
Take a lie to the grave
That's what an old friend told me
Look what it did for him
Oooh 4x

The truth hurts so bad
Wouldn't you say?
So why tell it?
If ignorance is bliss
Then I'm in heaven now

Run, you'll never escape
You see you'd go nowhere
Soon you will appear
Broke, laid to waste
Turn into sweet nothings
Kiss you goodbye

Ooooh 4x

The truth hurts so bad
Wouldn't you say?
So why tell it?
If ignorance is bliss
Then I'm in heaven now

I keep going over and over again
To never ending places I've never been
No one's catching on, calling my bluff
The devil made me holier than every man
What you do, say it with a smile boy
Making us all forget 3x

Numerology passage:

3 - THE LIFE OF THE PARTY - 3's are idealists. They are very

creative, social, charming, romantic, and easygoing. They start many things, but don't always see them through. They like others to be happy and go to great lengths to achieve it. They are very popular and idealistic. They should learn to see the world from a more realistic point of view.

7 - THE INTELLECTUAL - 7's are the searchers. Always probing for hidden

information, they find it difficult to accept things at face value. Emotions don't sway their decisions. Questioning everything in life, they don't like to be questioned themselves. They're never off to a fast start, and their motto is "slow and steady wins the race" They come across as philosophers and being very knowledgeable, and sometimes as loners. They are technically inclined and make great researchers uncovering information. They like secrets. They live in their own world and should learn what is acceptable and what is not in the world at large.

@hustarn like the enneagram?

I thought this song was about the whole "Josh and Nick" feud that occurred when Josh kicked Nick out of QotSA. Well that's what I think about this song anyway.

It's not about poker. Having a 37 offsuit is not the worst hand. With 3&7os you can still get a straight. 2 & 7 os is the worst.

It's kind of hilarious reading all of this jibber jabber on meaning of this song... bible references, poker references, interpretations of L.A.,. etc...

3's & 7's is a superstition among doctor's and medical personel meaning that deaths come in 3's and 7's over the period of a day.

In this song Homme said If ignorance is bliss then im in heaven. In his other band Them Crooked Vultures he sang ignorance is bliss until you take the bliss away. Just thought that was interesting.

NEW ALBUM!! ive already downloaded a few songs, it sounds TRIPPIN! the drumming in this song is intergalactical. as for the meaning, its about how its always easier to ignore the "reality" of things and how the truth is much harder to handle, so lying is always the easy way out.

Kick ass song. Great new album. I got it about a month before it "technically " came out. Best crime I've ever committed!

is it intentional that the main riff sounds a lot like smells like teen spirit? not saying thats a bad thing--actually when i first listened to this album before i got through the first song it reminded me of nirvana in that it was so raw and new...

I know what you mean, the riff does have kinda the same rhythm/structure.

Not Valid

3s and 7s is a reference to song structure ie.) putting the lyrics on the 3s and 7s. im no musician, but i read that somewhere
