Yeah Yeah
F.A.B. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Keep your candle's lit
Keep your breath away from it
On the couch you sit
You lost your reasons to
Give a shit
You see it melting, but you can't seem to quit
The planet will recover when we're done with it
Or when it's done with us
They told us it was bad
We said, "yeah yeah yeah"
They told us we should worry
We said, "yeah yeah yeah"
They told us it was bad, "yeah yeah yeah"
We said, "Can it wait? I'm in a hurry"
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You can cup your hand
Use it to protect the flame
You could use it to fan
But if you fail, we're all to blame
You see it dripping, but you can't seem to quit
The planet won't recover
They told us it was bad
We said, "yeah yeah yeah"
They told us we should worry
We said, "yeah yeah yeah"
They told us it was bad, "yeah yeah yeah"
We said, "Can it wait? I'm in a hurry"
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Everyone's in circles
Everything comes back
Everything's a trade
Everyone's a jack
Everything's in circles
Everyone comes back




Everyone's a trade
Everything's a jack

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in F.A.B.'s song "Yeah Yeah" reflect a sense of apathy and indifference towards a pressing issue, likely referring to the degradation of the planet or environmental concerns. The opening lines, "Keep your candle's lit, Keep your breath away from it, On the couch you sit, You lost your reasons to give a shit," depict a person who has lost their motivation or concern for the world around them. They are aware of the negative consequences, represented by the melting candle, but they cannot find the willpower to make a change.


The lyrics also touch upon the idea that the planet will eventually recover from the damage caused by human actions, or when it has reached its own breaking point. This suggests a fatalistic view that humans will ultimately face the consequences of their actions, whether they take proactive measures or not.


In the chorus, the phrase "They told us it was bad, we said, 'yeah yeah yeah'" conveys a dismissive attitude towards warnings and concerns raised by others. It implies a lack of urgency or willingness to address the issue at hand. The line "Can it wait? I'm in a hurry" further emphasizes this disregard for the severity of the situation, indicating a prioritization of personal convenience over collective responsibility.


The latter part of the song introduces the imagery of a candle flame and the responsibility to protect it. Cupping the hand to protect the flame can be seen as a symbol of actively safeguarding and preserving the fragile state of the planet. However, the lyrics also suggest that if this effort fails, the blame falls on everyone collectively, indicating a shared responsibility for the planet's well-being.


The repeated phrase "Everything's in circles, Everyone comes back, Everyone's a trade, Everything's a jack" towards the end of the song could be open to interpretation. It could refer to the repetitive nature of environmental degradation, where destructive patterns and behaviors persist despite the potential consequences. It may also allude to the idea that everything is interconnected and that our actions, whether positive or negative, have a ripple effect on the world around us.


Overall, F.A.B.'s "Yeah Yeah" showcases a sense of apathy and disregard towards pressing environmental concerns, capturing a feeling of indifference and a lack of urgency in addressing these issues. The lyrics present a commentary on the general population's collective responsibility and the consequences of inaction in the face of global challenges.
