Evil
The Four Skins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Snapping spines and wringing necks
Now I'll knife you in the back
Kick your bones until they crack
[Chorus]
Evil, evil, evil, evil
Evil, evil, evil, evil
Jump up and down upon your head
Kick you around 'til your dead
Fill your body full of lead
See the roads turn to red
[Chorus]
I don't like trendy cunts who pose
Now i´ll punch you in the nose
Stick my Marten in your crotch
Don't like you, you're too much
[Chorus: x 2]
The Four Skins's song "Evil" is a clear example of a violent and aggressive punk rock song with explicit lyrics describing gruesome acts of violence. The lyrics express the singer's enjoyment of hurting and killing people, as he mentions breaking arms and legs, snapping spines, wringing necks, knifing someone in the back, kicking bones until they crack, and filling someone's body with lead. The chorus repeats the word "evil" several times, emphasizing the dark and malevolent nature of the song's message. The second verse adds to the brutality with the singer threatening to jump on someone's head, kick them until they're dead, and turn the roads red with their blood. The third verse takes a more personal tone as the singer expresses contempt for "trendy cunts who pose," and threatens to punch someone in the nose and stick his Marten (a type of boot) in their crotch.
Despite the explicit and violent nature of the lyrics, it's important to remember that The Four Skins and other punk rock bands of the era were often using hyperbolic language and exaggeration to make a statement or express their frustration with society. The aggressive and confrontational attitude of punk rock was meant to shake people out of complacency and challenge societal norms. However, it's also important to recognize the potential harm that lyrics like these can cause by glorifying violence and aggression.
