A blog by ''Metal Hammer'' describes "Four Rusted Horses" as "Sounding like Seasick Steve, the track opens with an Americana-inspired acoustic guitar and foot-stomp. [[Marilyn Manson|Manson]]'s voice soon joins the ensemble – along with synth strings – reminiscent of '[[Coma White]]'. The track keeps you anticipating a massive chorus as the chorus bridge teases you with what we all love – huge searing soaring Manson screams and ma-hoo-sive guitars. The track builds from the bottom up, with layers being added and added, only to be stripped down again. Fucking, tease. Manson has always been good at autobiographical catharsis by spinning an extended metaphor (dare we say 'concept') It's less clear here what that might be, but the lyrics "Everyone will come to my funeral to make sure I'm dead" hint at a faux-persecution complex (though Manson's history of complex narrative, allegory and irony it'll be nearly impossible to tell until he tells us). Sadly the massive money-shot climax never happens and the track just fades into amp feedback and disappears. Sonically this is another step forward for Manson, but musically the song lacks the peaks we crave."<ref>[http://www.metalhammer.co.uk/uncategorized/marilyn-manson-high-end-of-low-album-track-by-track/ Marilyn Manson 'High End Of Low' Album Track-By-Track]. ''Metal Hammer''. April 7, 2009.</ref> Reviewing for The Quietus, John Robb highlighted the song's "stripped down bluesy" acoustics, "pounding back beat" and "gutter poetry." Robb urged that "This is the one for the mobile phones to flicker in the night air," and went on to explain how the song reminded him of material from The Doors.<ref>[http://thequietus.com/articles/01639-marilyn-manson-high-end-of-low-album-review Marilyn Manson's High End Of Low Reviewed Track-By-Track].

In his review for Allmusic, Phil Freeman, who was unsatisfied by the album, criticized the song's lyrics "Everyone will come to my funeral to make sure that I stay dead" for feeling "like [Manson]'s trying to convince himself as much as the audience."<ref>[http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:wcfoxzy0ldde The High End of Low].

=== SomewheretoHide lyrics ===
+
 
+
    They say that you never get in
+
    And they say that you hate where you've been
+
    And they say that there's something to hide
+
    There's a little person growing inside
+
 
+
    And when you're alone in your bedroom
+
    Thinking of where to go
+
    I'll let you know that you're already there
+
 
+
    Sing your vanilla phone wire?
+
    And you're never the reason to ask why
+
    And you say that you're silent at times
+
    And you wonder when or how you'll get by
+
 
+
    And when you're alone in your bedroom
+
    Thinking of where to go
+
    I'll let you know that you're already there
+
 
+
    Anyday now
+
    Anyday now
+
    Anyday now
+
    Anyday
+
 
+
    ... slithered inside
+
    And you see that there's nothing for you to hide
+
    And you wonder oh where have you gone
+
    All the love that's been lost in your lifetime alone
+
 
+
    And when you're alone in your bedroom
+
    Thinking of where to go
+
    I'll let you know that you're already there
+
 
+
    Anyday now
+
    Anyday now
+
    Anyday now
+
    We'll make it in time
+
 
+
    There's a hole inside my heart, wow
+

== Trivia ==
+
* The main riff was recycled from a youtube video uploaded by [[Twiggy]] for the [[Goon Moon]] song "somewheretohide".
+
* The song contains a reference to a tinted window. Tinted Windows is the name of a supergroup joined by James Iha, who was rumored to be involved with Marilyn Manson early in the process of what would become ''The High End of Low''. This is, however, highly unlikely as the group also included members of Hanson, Cheap Trick, and Fountains of Wayne.
+
* The song has recently been used in the TV ad for the video game ''F.E.A.R. 3'' (stylized as ''F.3.A.R.'').
+
* The phrase "four rusting horses" is likely a reference to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse found in Revelation 6:1-8 and similarly in Zechariah 6:1-8.
