I'm not sure if this has been pointed out yet, and I don't feel like reading 26 pages of comments to see, but, in the bible, Peter asked Jesus "How many times shall I forgive the man that sinned against me? Seven?" and Jesus replied "Not seven, but seventy times seven." I'm not sure if that has anything to do with this song in particular, but it must have some meaning behind it. Maybe a girlfriend who hasn't been faithful and he feels as if he should forgive her, but maybe he has already forgiven her so many times that it would be irrelevant to forgive again. I don't know, it could be anything, it could be nothing. Maybe just a clever name for a song? Brand New is amazing though.

I haven't seen that, and that might be a part of it, but the main message of this song was about Jesse Lacey's issues with John Nolan. Nolan slept with Jesse's GF, and this song was directed at Nolan.

well one of the ways to see it are the reverse of that story. 70 times 7 also refers to punishment. like avenged sevenfold but worse.
