Four
Kotki Dwa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And follow with the following,
Kindly dis-engage the head for madamoiselle,
Madamoiselle seems to have a lot to say,
There's nothing on monsieurs display,
For all intents and purposes it's going well,
Going well here,
As for my arrival I can no longer decide,
Oh it's such an easy method of survival,
Be a sport and fetch the parasols inside,
It's the perfect place to hide,
And I very nearly find myself sitting down here.
The lyrics of Kotki Dwa's song "Four" can be interpreted as a series of disconnected thoughts or images. The opening lines "Four will have the following, and follow with the following" suggest a list of things, perhaps items or events, that are about to happen. The subsequent line "Kindly dis-engage the head for madamoiselle" can be interpreted as a request for someone to stop talking or thinking too much. The following two lines "Madamoiselle seems to have a lot to say, There's nothing on monsieurs display" suggest that there is a contrast between the two characters, one being vocal and the other being silent.
The next line "For all intents and purposes, it's going well" is a statement that contradicts the previous lines, suggesting that despite the differences between the characters, things are going smoothly. The repetition of the phrase "going well here" reinforces this sentiment. The following lines "As for my arrival, I can no longer decide, Oh, it's such an easy ride, Oh, it's such an easy method of survival" suggest a sense of indecision or uncertainty. The final lines "Be a sport and fetch the parasols inside, It's the perfect place to hide, And I very nearly find myself sitting down here" suggest a desire to retreat or escape from something.
