Four Chambers
Kerbera Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The air is bitter and cold.
My mind is covered by god knows,
And sometimes I don't even think he does.
Made one mistake,
Went so fast.
There's a reason,
Crushed my knuckles against the wall,
And nobody will ever know.
Four chambers couldn't hold,
So you kick me out along.
Yet still everything lives in you.
Four chambers couldn't hold,
So you kick me out along.
Yet still everything lives in you.
Every part of me.
Colored eyes and shadows
Pay no raise with her shade.
I'm sewing on the inside now,
To get into those eyes again.
Made one mistake,
Went so fast.
There's a reason,
In the bottom of my glass.
Corpses of flies in the windowsill,
And nobody will ever know.
Four chambers couldn't hold,
So you kick me out along.
Yet still everything lives in you.
Four chambers couldn't hold,
The fucked up ones,
But I gave you my all.
Yet still everything lives in you.
Every part of me!
The song "Four Chambers" by Kerbera is a deeply introspective piece about a person who is struggling to come to terms with their mistakes and the consequences of their actions. The first verse sets up a desolate and cold atmosphere by describing the snowy ground and bitter air. The second line, "My mind is covered by god knows," is a metaphor for the character's mental state - they are muddled and confused, and can't make sense of their own thoughts. The line, "And sometimes I don't even think he does," is a commentary on the idea of a higher power - the character wonders if God can even understand the things that they are going through.
The chorus is a repetition of the phrase "Four chambers couldn't hold," which can be interpreted as a reference to the four chambers of the heart. The heart is often symbolic of love and emotion, and in this context, it seems that the character's emotions have become too much for them to bear. They feel as though they have been kicked out of their own heart, and yet all of their memories and experiences live on inside of them. This is evidenced by the line, "Yet still everything lives in you. Every part of me." The character is unable to escape their past mistakes, and they are haunted by the things that they have done.
The second verse continues to develop the theme of past mistakes, with the line "Made one mistake, Went so fast. There's a reason, In the bottom of my glass." The reference to alcohol suggests that the character is using alcohol as a coping mechanism to deal with the guilt and shame of their actions. The line "And nobody will ever know," suggests that the character is keeping their struggles to themselves and feels isolated from those around them. Overall, "Four Chambers" is a deeply personal and introspective song that explores themes of guilt, loneliness, and the struggle to come to terms with one's past mistakes.
