| Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young – 4+20 Lyrics | 6 years ago |
| 4+20 is an autobiographical song about Stephen Stills’ life. His Father is a “man who lived in strife.” Stephen was tired of growing up poor so he “worked like a devil to be more” like all of us do. Then, he finds a “different kind of poverty” when he finds himself alone. About his lover, he wonders has he “driven her away?” Maybe he’s too intense for his lovely woman! The loneliness drives him to torment with “devils in my head.” Finally, he gives up and embraces “the many colored beast” which is a description of his depression, despair, and demons in his mind. They overpower him making his existence unbearable, and he wishes his “life would simply cease.” | |
