Rex uses this to portray how his emotions get the best of him, especially when he’s alone.
By using situations he has encountered himself, Alex uses a lot of emotion in the writing and performance of this song. He also makes a good point about coping and caring about those who don’t care about you.
4 Seasons
Rex Orange County Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The people who don't care for me
When I don't care about them either
And who am I to judge
The friends that I once thought I knew
They're all off doing what they wanna do
I'm falling to pieces
Even though I'm a walking emotion
And I can't go a day without you
I saw myself as less and you saw high above me
But I hope that you can learn to love me
4 seasons, they've flied by
And I cry usually in the evening
Before I calm myself and start sleeping
And I'ma sleep in, 'cause each weekend is like a Monday to me
She stay behind the bar at work
So I'm getting Redbull for free
And I'm so bored of being awkward
I hit my head against a door
Oh, now she made me much less awkward
I'm not so awkward anymore
And I'm flying back to LA
And I can't wait for her to see
And I'm not fucking with first class
But I'd sure like a sleeper seat, so
I'll find a spot that's just for me and see if I can cope
Without an ounce of pain, without an ounce of pain
Now that you're around I pray you don't go
And we don't even need to mention all the things that matter
Or anything you're stressing 'bout
Just tell why your day was good
And love me after hours
Now that you're around I pray you don't go
'Cause since you made me social, I'm no longer eating solo
I said, "Thank you", and, "Thanks bro", with the wet shirt in the front row
Sweatshirt, that's young me, playin' Erykah, afro
Way back, back when I would have worn a snapback
But fuck that, fuck that
And I hate myself for what I'm 'bout to say
But I feel as if it's time to get away
I'll find a spot that's just for me and see if I can cope without
An ounce of pain, without an ounce of pain
Said, the likelihood just frightens me and it's easier to hide
But I can't ignore it endlessly, eventually things die
But if only he'd remember my name
One final time
I said the likelihood just frightens me and it's easier to hide
But I can't ignore it endlessly, eventually things die
But if only he'd remember my name
One final time
I said the likelihood just frightens me and it's easier to hide
I can't ignore it endlessly, eventually things die
But if only he'd remember my name
One final time
All the things that matter
Or anything you're stressing 'bout
Just tell why your day was good
And love me after hours
Now that you're around I pray you don't go
'Cause since you made me social, I'm no longer eating solo
Said the likelihood just frightens me and it's easier to hide
But I can't ignore it endlessly, eventually things die
But if only he'd remember my name
One final time
In Rex Orange County's song "4 Seasons," the singer reflects on his frustrations with friends and relationships while he is away from home. He questions his own role in these interpersonal issues and expresses his own emotional turmoil. Despite his confident exterior, the singer reveals that he feels "falling to pieces" when he is alone. He reflects on the passing of time, and how each season seems to fly by, even as he struggles to cope with his life on the road.
The second verse describes an encounter with a new love interest, who the singer hopes will "learn to love" him. He admits to feeling awkward and social anxiety, but with her, he feels more confident. He reveals that he is traveling back to Los Angeles, and he is excited for his new love interest to see him. The third verse suggests that the singer may be experiencing a sense of burnout or disillusionment with his life in the music industry, as he considers taking a break from performing or hiding from the spotlight.

Who am I to judge
I have no place to judge others
The people who don't care for me
Those who don't care about me
When I don't care about them either
I don't have any interest in them
The friends that I once thought I knew
I used to think these people were my friends
They're all off doing what they wanna do
But now they're doing their own thing
I'm falling to pieces
I'm coming apart
When I'm on my own
When I'm by myself
Even though I'm a walking emotion
Even though I'm constantly emotional
And I can't go a day without you
I can't function without you
I saw myself as less and you saw high above me
I had low self-esteem, but you saw me as better than that
But I hope that you can learn to love me
I hope you'll grow to love me
4 seasons, they've flied by
Four seasons have passed
And I cry usually in the evening
I often cry at night
Before I calm myself and start sleeping
Before I calm down and fall asleep
And I'ma sleep in, 'cause each weekend is like a Monday to me
I'll sleep in because weekends feel like workdays to me
She stay behind the bar at work
She works behind the bar
So I'm getting Redbull for free
So I'm getting Redbull without paying for it
And I'm so bored of being awkward
I'm tired of being uncomfortable in social situations
I hit my head against a door
I hit my head on a door
Oh, now she made me much less awkward
She helped me become less uncomfortable
I'm not so awkward anymore
I'm more comfortable now
And I'm flying back to LA
I'm flying back to Los Angeles
And I can't wait for her to see
I can't wait for her to see me
And I'm not fucking with first class
I'm not traveling first class
But I'd sure like a sleeper seat, so
But I'd really like a comfortable seat
I'll find a spot that's just for me and see if I can cope
I'll find a place to be by myself and see if I can manage
Without an ounce of pain, without an ounce of pain
Without feeling any pain
Now that you're around I pray you don't go
Now that you're here, I hope you won't leave
And we don't even need to mention all the things that matter
We don't have to talk about important things
Or anything you're stressing 'bout
Or anything that's bothering you
Just tell why your day was good
Just tell me about the good parts of your day
And love me after hours
And spend time with me after work
'Cause since you made me social, I'm no longer eating solo
Because you helped me feel more comfortable in social situations, I'm not eating alone anymore
I said, "Thank you", and, "Thanks bro", with the wet shirt in the front row
I thanked people in the front row of a concert, even though my shirt was wet with sweat
Sweatshirt, that's young me, playin' Erykah, afro
I used to wear sweatshirts, listen to Erykah Badu, and have an afro
Way back, back when I would have worn a snapback
A long time ago, I would have worn a snapback hat
But fuck that, fuck that
But I don't care about that anymore
And I hate myself for what I'm 'bout to say
I don't like what I'm about to say
But I feel as if it's time to get away
But I feel like I need to leave for a while
Said, the likelihood just frightens me and it's easier to hide
I'm scared of the possibility and it's easier to avoid it
But I can't ignore it endlessly, eventually things die
But I can't avoid it forever, eventually things come to an end
But if only he'd remember my name
If only he would remember who I am
One final time
Just once more
