They've recorded two albums and one EP under the Electric President moniker, all available under the German imprint Morr Music, with a third to be released in early 2010 on Fake Four Inc. They've had songs on television and in various short films. They both came from DIY ideas of making music, and as such record all their music in a tool shed and a bedroom with a handful of recording gear. Apparently, this gives them cred.
They hope to one day be incredibly rich from their music so they can buy an airplane and set it on fire without ever using it. To burn that sucker simply because they can, and to stand by and drink expensive wine and laugh manically until it explodes.
We Will Walk Through Walls
Electric President Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Make a fist and tear 'em down
Wash your face get all the blood
Bare your teeth and make them run
We were made to take you down
Change of heart, go sleep it off
Find the holes and patch them up
Time is out, go change the locks
We will walk through walls
Yeah, we'll walk through walls, I swear
Count the cracks across your face
Squint your eyes pretend they're gone
Change of heart go mow the lawn
These tiny fists can't save the world
We were made to take you down
Change of heart, go sleep it off
When you climb, you're bound to fall
What goes up just goes away
We will walk through walls, my dear
I promise you
We will walk through walls, my dear
I promise you
We will walk through walls, my dear
I promise you
And we will walk through walls, my dear
I promise you
