| | Four Winds Lyrics Artist(Band):Bright Eyes
There's people always dying trying to keep them alive There's bodies decomposing in containers tonight In an abandoned building where The squatters made a mural of a Mexican girl With fifteen cans of spray paint in a chemical swirl She's standing in the ashes at the end of the world Four Winds blowing through her hair But when Great Satan's gone... the Whore of Babylon... She just can't sustain the pressure where it's placed She caves The Bible's blind. The Torah's deaf. The Qu'ran is mute. If you burned them all together you’d get close to the truth Still they’re pouring over Sanskrit under Ivy League moons While shadows lengthen in the sun Cast on a school and meditation built to soften the times And hold us at the center while the spiral unwinds It's knocking over fences, crossing property lines Four Winds cry until it comes It's the Sum of Man slouching towards Bethlehem A heart just can't contain all of that empty space It breaks. It breaks. It breaks. Well I went back by rented Cadillac and company jet Like a newly orphaned refugee retracing my steps All the way to Cassadaga to commune with the dead They said, "You'd better look alive" And now it’s off to old Dakota where a genocide sleeps In the Black Hills, the Badlands, the calloused East I buried my ballast. I made my peace. Her Four Winds leveling the pines But when Great Satan's gone, the Whore of Babylon She just can't remain with all that outer space She breaks. She breaks. She caves. She caves.

Review about Four Winds your class your caste your country sect the name of your tribe | Reviewer: mhm | 1/8/09 "hey i'm christian and this isn't satanic" who cares... you know it probably is... cuz when its all said and done deep down we know relgion makes no sense and maybe thats wat oberst is saying and maybe not... regardless this song is meaningful and deep and it basically explains what a teenager goes through believe it or not GREAT | Reviewer: Chris | 4/22/08 This song is not satanic. This song just reflects Conor Oberst's dislike of organized religion and that doesn't mean there is no god, but maybe powerful organizations shouldn't have the authority to rule over a belief. Besides, its a great fucking song. great song | Reviewer: ryan | 4/8/08 I didnt like Bright Eyes when I first heard them...I had an ex a few yrs.ago who used to make me listen to them,now 2 years later im really starting to like them,and this song....amazing genious songwriting,I cant listen to anything else since I discovered it last night...so im not a die hard fan but this song is crazy >.< Conor Oberst!!! | Reviewer: Hannah | 2/24/08 Dear god, I love you Conor Oberst!!!!! This was my first Bright Eyes song, and it's what got me hooked on the amazingness that is Conor. Listen to "The Calendar Hung Itself" another great song. Oh yeah and "hmm | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/12/2007" needs to die. >:( Awesome | Reviewer: High Fidelity | 12/11/07 This was the song that got me into Bright Eyes music. Given that it is a little more country than i'd like, i still think it's amazing. There are so many historical and biblical refences in this song if you dig deep. Like most Bright Eyes fans i believe Conor is amazing and i just hope that he doesn't decide to give up any time soon. Yeats | Reviewer: Emily | 12/9/07 No, this is not Satanic in the slightest. Is anyone familiar with Yeat's poem, "The Second Comming"? this is just Oberst's take on it. Anyone who reads this should also read that poem. Four Winds | Reviewer: Tom | 10/23/07 Yeah, I'm a christian and I deffinitely don't think its satanic. I don't agree with everything he's saying in the song but, its so well said that it has to be one of the best written songs ever. of course most bright eyes songs are amazing. Stop preaching and enjoy | Reviewer: dirk | 10/23/07 a lot of people seem to think that they have song lyrics pinned for exactly what they mean. All the big words and articulate explanations don't mean shit, you don't know exactly what he or she is trying to say and you shouldn't speak for the artist. Just find your own meaning in a song and enjoy that, you don't have to preach about what the song "really means". Four winds | Reviewer: Tom | 10/23/07 Yeah, its deffinitely not Satanic. I'm a christian and I would have to say I don't beleive in what he's saying in this song but its so well said that I can't help listening to it at least 3 times a day, haha. amazing | Reviewer: Danielle | 10/2/07 i love this song. it is not satanic by any means. it speaks about the four winds of the world in correlation with religion and how everyone is trying ot decode the true meaning of "god". "if you burn them all together you get close to the truth" means in simple terms, that if you take everything man has created for religion and translate for themselves you might get a fraction of what it really means. it also discusses the end of the world and mankind how everything will be related with nature... casa dega is mentioned in one of the last lines and this is in fact a spiritual camp located in florida where they do not study structure religion, but a looser version so you can have your own opinions and ideals. this song is in no way satanic. and for those who believe that because they are ignorant should not be listening to it anyways.
