| 7 Virtues, 7 sins - I think the seven virtues makes more sense in the context of this song, but the whole idea of 7 conveys a religiousness and supernaturalness, whether positive or negative. And if there has been something that has been present in Corgan's work, from start to finish, it's been an almost fixation with religion, with God. For example, in Bullet With Butterfly.. he declares "Jesus was the only son...I still believe that I cannot be saved". And in the Zwan album it seems almost to be a renewal of faith. So overall, it could be both. Even without the reference to seven, we can see that Corgan is intensely aware of his own mortality and its relevance to religious faith/God. More than whether it's a virtue/vice, that is perhaps most important to take into account. | |

| good call mavrikz, you're right on... another instance of this is in a pixies song, "Monkey Gone to Heaven." the symbolic & biblical use of 5, 6, 7 are used there. and no bashing on you or Jesus. :) grace for all. | |

| emann333 is prolly right with the Pixies thing - in the song Frank Black says "man is 5, devil is 6, God is 7". I dont think the 5 bit's in the Bible (Revelation is where all that comes from) but it sorta makes sense. 6 is imperfect, 7 is complete. Like the 7 days of creation, the seven angels of judgement, the seven stars etc. | |
