The following is a direct quote from an email from stu himself...
As for Seven Veils, it's a reference to a biblical tale of Salome, daughter of Herodias, who dances for her step-father, a dance involving the removal of seven
veils, revealing her, pretty much naked, body. Herod, her step father, is so pleased by her dance that he promises her anything she desires. After consulting
with her mother, she asks for John The Baptist's head on a plate, a man who Herod had imprisoned, but who was not to be killed, as he was greatly revered as a prophet. As he had made such an oath in front of all of his guests, Herod is forced to behead John The Baptist, and Salome's mother gets her wish. I guess the song itself is a metaphor for the games and politics involved in the bedroom.
