The project began with the new millennium in Bremen, Germany, with a computer, a bunch of samples, a lot of creativity and a desire to learn how to create music. Four years later the project was good enough to go public and soon attracted the attention of DJ Phönix, who had been the singer of a regionally successful band named "Sonstiges". Soon he appeared as the lead voice on most of the tracks and in 2005 the album "Illusion" was published as the first official album in the project's discography. Three years later the album "Sui Caedere" followed, shifting the musical focus from mostly soft electronic music to harsher industrial sounds. Together with "Sui Caedere" an album entitled "Specials 2.0" has been released that features songs from the past that never made it onto an album, beta versions of some released songs and some that might be part of the next album which is planned for release in 2009. Aside producing the next album four-O-four is working on producing a liveshow which will hopefully go on stage in 2009 as well.
Listen closely and dive into the world behind the "love, peace and harmony" mentality of the morning shows. This is about the real life. Miss Hélium hit the nail on the head: “Dark, industrial, the sound of the true vision about this fucking world…”.
Far Away
four-O-four Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't give a fuck, bout' the motherfuckin' distance
When you're far away, it brings me harm
I just want you right in my arms
Yeah I just want you right off my mind
Play it back, heart attack, then I rewind
Cause' there ain't no thing like the present, maybe just the past
I hopped in the foreign just to burn all the gas
I'm just living life
And if a slimy-ass-n****a give my girl shit
I might end his life
Cause' I don't mean to be rude
I just love how you move
I just want you close, show me what you do
Yeah what you do for me
Iced out in Louie-V
Boca Raton with chamomile tea
Cause' my girl knows just what I need
Girl, I love how you do it
I'm next up, still gotta prove it
And I iced out my whole crew, bitch
Yeah I'm talking bout' big Cubans
And I see that you gotta new man
That wasn't part of the plan
Head to Melrose when I land
Ohh
And I know that you're tired of waiting
But we're young, all the fuck we got is patience
The way that we were was faded
Faded
Girl why you talking down on me? (Talking down, down)
Everything you do is cause' of me (Ohh)
How you love me girl so casually?
Casually
Ohh
Guess the love we had was fake (Fake)
Gotta drain out the noise that they make (Make)
Drivin' round in the wraith
Why you gotta be on my case
So far away, baby girl hope you listen
I don't give a fuck, bout' the motherfuckin' distance
When you're far away, it brings me harm
I just want you right in my arms
Yeah I just want you right off my mind
Play it back, heart attack, then I rewind
Cause' there ain't no thing like the present, maybe just the past
I hopped in the foreign just to burn all the gas
The lyrics of Four-O-Four's song "Far Away" address the struggles of being apart from a loved one. The singer expresses his desire to have his lover close to him, despite the challenges of distance. The song starts with the singer telling his lover that he hopes she is listening and confesses that the distance between them does not bother him, indicating his tenacity in preserving their love.
The singer goes on to explain how being far away from his lover harms him, and he longs to have her right in his arms. He plays with the metaphor of rewinding and replaying memories in his head when he says, "Play it back, heart attack, then I rewind." The lyrics suggest that the present is not as important as revisiting the past as he says, "Cause' there ain't no thing like the present, maybe just the past."
Furthermore, the singer raps about the luxurious lifestyle that he and his lover share, signified by Louis-V and chamomile tea while driving around in a foreign car. He acknowledges his possessiveness about his girlfriend when he says, "I might end his life" if someone causes her harm. The lyrics altogether speak about the desire to have a partner close, enjoy lavish things, and the willingness to fight for and protect their love.

my god i need to make a phone call..
as a 25 y/o this song has played such a huge part of my life as my dad was/is a guitarist and would frequently play this song with his various bands throughout my childhood. since he realized i had perfect pitch and vibrato at 3, he really immersed me with music (and thanks to him have released a couple records from
18 and up)...I'd go to his gigs that were more child-friendly and not at a dive bar lol and he'd invite me to come on stage with him and the band and this would be one of our go-to songs to play together.. really the only portion of my childhood that i can remember clearly and look on with joy and nostalgia. he'd always nail the lead solo and I'd feel so proud. like "look, that's my dad doing that!" he left my sister, my mom and myself because she had untreated BPD and it was the worst day of my fucking life. he left specifically me a note on my dresser that he couldn't "do this anymore" then got with his best friend's very recent ex. I became the head of the house basically because my mom and sister were way more emotionally out of control and while the abuse continued for two years, one day I went for a visit with my dad, called my lawyer, and never came home to my mom and sister.. i still feel such a weight on my heart, especially the moment my sister discovered she would be the only one returning to mom that day... "am i staying too?!" and her smile faded quickly when no one responded. she hadn't had the courage to call her lawyer, she felt obligated to my mother. after all, she and my mom were uber connected even though they fought disturbingly every day. whereas i, myself was a complete daddy's girl, and we connected through our love for music. not to mention it's amplified that there's a split between the family caused by the fact that i have very similar faces, honey blonde hair and bright blue eyes. my mother and sister both had the same colored hair (before mom dyed it blonde during her single mom phase and still bleach it) -- my father would always make remarks about how I was his carbon copy and "the female version of him" and and my sister was always suspected dad has always and still loves me more than herself. it affects her still, as a 28 year old. the fact that her father compared her to someone he "despised and found repulsive" her from childhood to about 18 when she joined the air force.. anyway, i can only imagine what she went through...it hurts my heart.
..
i went through a lot of shit, too. psychological abuse from my step mom bc I never could call her "mom", verbal abuse about my weight at school that has completely ruined my self esteem...but it was when my dad offered me a 75 dollar ipod knockoff so I could listen to music constantly. he said that i "would be the prettiest girl in the whole high school if you lost like 30 lbs, i can tell by your face!" he said we'd be on a weight loss journey together and that first night we both had a big salad for dinner. i knew I was 110% in it to win it. but him? that night was the only night he partook in healthy eating, and i continued dieting... unmonitored..because of my step mom my dad would be with her in their room every night as soon as they got home from work.. later on i discovered that they were both taking painkillers and that's why you never saw them outside of their closed off cave
this lead to me completely isolating, too, and to this day socializing is so uncomfortable...lost 50 lbs and did not stop. At the end I was down 93 lbs. isolation is the perfect breeding ground for eating disorders to form and thrive. it was off to the races.
fast forward many many years of pressure to be perfect in every way, abuse and s/a, eating disorder and inpatient five years into it..and vodka handles daily to simply not feel anything anymore..then detoxes and rehabs.
i am now 2 years sober however our (my dad and I) relationship suffers to this day from what I can only imagine is due to the fact that I'm not where I'm supposed to be. like by his schedule I should be working on my PHD but i've fallen so short in terms of expectations.. I was enrolled in university however I was fainting and falling asleep everywhere because of my anorexia nervosa and decided I'd take a year off to tackle this and get my health back..
I never kicked it.
In fact it came back once I stopped drinking, yaknow, replacing addictions with others. i'm slowly improving but I have got severe PTSD, anxiety / panic disorder, ultra frequent nightmares, depression and my psychiatrist and I are trying to find out if i have bipolar II. just lots of fucking trauma, man. i also have been with my bf and bandmate for 6 years and he's stuck by my side no matter how miserable I was to be around during my alcoholism days. i've left him a few times because I felt like i was making his life worse and not better. and he's always waited for me to return. yeah, daddy and mommy issues. I've left a lot of my story out because this comment wasn't supposed to delve into my life's chronological trajectory but more of a look into why this song is so so important to me. and, of course, for me. i felt positive to write it down and put it out into the universe. if you've read this, bless u and i appreciate the time you took out of your day to read some internet rando's sob story.
i gotta make a call. a few, actually.

This song played while I was racing to go be with my twin sister who took a bottle full of pills. It played in my mp3 player while I was trying to find a good song to listen to while me, my older sister & mom & dad raced to be with my sister. It was a 4 hour drive to get to her, 4 hours of being scared, 4 hours of thinking we're too late, 4 hours of not being next to my twin. Thankfully she lived, but she gave me the first scare of my life I just turned 18 years old & just got out of the foster care system. This song will always be hers from me, she's my twin. My heart. My sister. ♥️
