The Fallen State was raised in the Autumn of 2013... when five young men with a mutual love for powerful, anthemic and beautifully executed rock, found themselves in a room together. For these guys togetherness isn't just a dream but a reality… they have that extra, indescribable ‘musical magic’ tattooed across their songs… the artistic ink of five individuals harmonised into something greater than the parts.
Individually, they’ve graced stages with the likes of Alter Bridge, Heaven’s Basement and Clutch… they live for the live show, with their stylish take on the musical legacy of both sides of the Atlantic.
Musically, The Fallen State combine the exuberant, smooth and soulful voice of frontman Ben Stenning with a harmonic wall of warm, contemporary rock guitars. Add the artfully emotive phrasing of lead six-stringer Jon Price - not to mention a grooving, ruthless rhythm section - and there can only be one outcome… infectious, body-rocking songs that'll leave crowds hungry for more.
Four Letter Word
The Fallen State Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'm asking
For a minute to change my ways
You don't like it
Don't time it
I'll give you everything that you need
You're a nightmare its fine
Cos i'm biting my tongue
But in time I'll despise it
So just give it to me straight
Tell me what you want
Instead of just fighting
Tell me where its gone
Can we just stop those
Four Letter Words
They tear us apart
Tell me what you want
Said i just had enough
In the rough
Out of touch
This aint love
You're inviting to the sight
And you pull every wandering gaze
There's no denying
I like it when you tell me im all you need
But realise that we're fine
And its time that you learned
That in spite of our witless ways
Give it to me straight
Tell me what you want
Instead of just fighting
Tell me where its gone
Can we just stop those
Four Letter Words
They tear us apart
Tell me what you want
Said i just had enough
I am so lost when
You said enough its not about me
When all you want
Is one last word
I find it hard to take
Never the last to break
Tell me what you want
Instead of just fighting
Tell me where its gone
Can we just stop those
Four Letter Words
They tear us apart
Tell me what you want
Said i just had enough
In the rough
Out of touch
This aint love
The song Four Letter Word by The Fallen State talks about the ups and downs in a relationship. The singer expresses how the partner's behavior is getting under his skin and asks for a chance to change his ways. He desires to give everything his partner needs but also admits that he is biting his tongue and holding back his feelings, which he knows will eventually turn into resentment. He requests for honesty to be straightforward about the problem instead of just fighting over it. The recurring line "Four Letter Words" implies that they are using hurtful words that are causing damage to their relationship.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the need for communication and understanding in a relationship. The singer is asking his partner to tell him what she wants instead of fighting and tearing them apart. He addresses the discomfort in their relationship and how it doesn't feel like love anymore. The bridge suggests that the partner is unwilling to take responsibility for her role in the relationship, and it's hard for the singer to deal with it.
Overall, the song captures the feelings of confusion and frustration that arise in a failing relationship. It highlights the importance of communication and the dire consequences of not listening to each other's needs.

You're under my skin
You have a strong hold on me
And I'm asking
I am requesting
For a minute to change my ways
I need a moment to modify my behavior
You don't like it
You are unhappy about it
Don't time it
Don't make it take too long
I'll give you everything that you need
I will provide you with everything you require
You're a nightmare its fine
You are a difficult problem and that is acceptable
Cos i'm biting my tongue
Because I am refraining from speaking my mind
But in time I'll despise it
Eventually, I will come to hate it
So just give it to me straight
Please be blunt with me
Tell me what you want
Communicate your desires
Instead of just fighting
Rather than arguing without an objective
Tell me where it's gone
Tell me where we went wrong
Can we just stop those Four Letter Words
Can we refrain from using curse words
They tear us apart
They divide us
Said i just had enough
I have reached my limit
In the rough
Difficulty or struggle
Out of touch
Disconnected or lacking understanding
This aint love
This is not love
You're inviting to the sight
You are appealing to the eye
And you pull every wandering gaze
You attract the attention of anyone who sees you
There's no denying
It cannot be disputed
I like it when you tell me I'm all you need
I enjoy hearing that you depend on me
But realize that we're fine
But understand that we are good
And it's time that you learned
It is time for you to understand
That in spite of our witless ways
Despite our foolishness
I am so lost when
I become bewildered
You said enough it's not about me
When you said that it is not concerning me
When all you want
When your sole desire is
Is one last word
Is to say one final thing
I find it hard to take
I find it difficult to accept
Never the last to break
I am never the one to give up or quit
