Four
Forward Russia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Electric car, la la lectric car (x20)

Electric car, it's always
Around the corner you bleed today
Electric car, it's always
Around the corner

Another carnal punctured hide
And it finds you in bed with another victim
Another carnal punctured hide
Finds you in bed with another victim

Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake

A knife edge: a catatonic knife edge
But any interference
Will be met with my heartache

A knife edge: a catatonic knife edge
But any interference
Will be met with my heartache

A knife edge (A knife edge through you)
A catatonic knife edge (I'll see right through you)
But any interference (A knife edge through you)
Will be met with my heartache (I'll see right through you)
A knife edge (A knife edge through you) (I'll see right through you)

Another carnal punctured hide
And it finds you in bed with another victim
Another carnal punctured hide
Finds you in bed with another victim

Another carnal punctured hide
And it finds you in bed with another victim
Another carnal punctured hide
Finds you in bed with another victim

Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake
Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake





Give me a wall!

Overall Meaning

The song "Four" by Forward Russia features a fast-paced, manic style of music and lyrics that are open to interpretation. The repeated use of the phrase "Electric Car" serves to introduce the theme of technology and the advancements that come with it. The line "it's always around the corner you bleed today" suggests a sense of danger or impending harm that technology can bring, perhaps in the form of accidents or dependence. The "car" may also represent a symbol of freedom or escape, but one that comes at a cost.


The second half of the song takes on a more violent tone, with lyrics that describe a "carnal punctured hide" and finding someone "in bed with another victim." These images of violence and betrayal suggest a darker side to the advances that technology brings, particularly in the realm of personal relationships. The repetition of the phrase "pat-a-cake" adds a childlike quality to the lyrics, almost as if the violence is childish or immature in nature.


The chorus of "A knife edge: a catatonic knife edge" further reinforces the sense of danger and violence, with the singer warning that any interference will be met with "heartache." The repeated lines "I'll see right through you" and "give me a wall" suggest a sense of isolation, perhaps due to the singer's inability to fully connect with others or trust those around them.


Overall, the lyrics of "Four" suggest a cautionary tale about the consequences of technological progress and an exploration of themes of violence, betrayal, and isolation.
