about

“Skin on Fire” is the most positive and catchy song ever written by 4 Guys From The Future. There is a compelling 80’s-inspired chorus and it also features the return of the rock saxophone!!

At the same time, ”Skin on Fire” is a classic 4 Guys From The Future song, rich in detail, and with an undercurrent of melancholy and loss of illusions. Nothing is as it seems.

Bjarke Porsmose, the lead singer, sings: ”I'm her biggest consumer // In the darkest night”

The song is about being a slave to women and their incredible beauty. About being a slave of love and eroticism. About when the other and the obsession takes takes over and you do not know what is up and down.

- is about Eros and the romantic idea of being a ’slave of love’. Love is for me a deceitful concept, one I really don’t get. The song is simply about being subjected women and their incredible beauties and arcane struggles. Regarding some of the women I have met, I quickly felt myself as a slave to their physical beauty and the desire, while simultaneously being subjected to their labyrinthine interest in me which eventually turned out not to be as I had thought. Now I have written Skin On Fire about two of the women I have been the most captivated by – and from whom I therefore have learned most about myself. The song is inspired by the emotional presence of my infantile youth in the 1980ies, which characterizes the music. - Bjarke Porsmose (leadsinger and composer)

lyrics

Her skin is like fire
Her breath is like sleep
Her home is my illusion
Where it's safe for me

Her eyes make me tumble
When she sees through me
and her love is no delusion
But a hearts treasury

...and I have nowhere to stay and nothing to live for
if not the beauty of hers is all around of my world

I'm a slave to this woman
lust will never dry out
I'm her biggest consumer
In the darkest night

I love her somehow
her life blows through me
There's no pain in motion
no treachery

...and if there's nothing to change, if nothing's gonna change for us
In the nowhere of worlds the end is in need of her touch

Like arts are religions
Her alive is a dream
There are no true conclusions
When she's here with me

Her love is like an ocean
And the sky is all I see
Don't go anywhere
Without me
