48
F.A.M. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's like we're living in a casket, held against the walls in a house of cards
We're leading them in first place, we fucked it so much it's a work of art

They're saying it was asked for
What?
Not a fucking clue behind the man in charge
We're just a cancer, turning our backs on those up in arms
Are we a fucking joke?

So sick of the sound of you making our bed
Too busy falling asleep to know we're better off dead
Is that the price to pay? Is that you paying your debt?
Third times the charm, it's what you really want, now there's a call for your head

Are we getting too comfortable?

Stop the clocks, Dream of the upside
Sit and watch, they're tying the noose you let hang on your neck
Look at the mess you've made
Time well spent, 52 to 48

You must be addicted to pointing the blame
When you're playing the victims in your own game
Did you give your all? What are you standing for?
Three years on now still we say

Who's fucking will was this?
They gave you warning, your vote, your call
Are we getting too comfortable?

Stop the clocks, Dream of the upside
Sit and watch, they're tying the noose you let hang on your neck
Look at the mess you made
Time well spent, 52 to 48





Are we getting too comfortable?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of F.A.M.'s song "48" are a commentary on the current state of affairs in society where people are seemingly content to just go with the flow without questioning the decisions being made by those in power. The opening lines describe the situation as one where we are living in a casket, held against the walls in a house of cards. This is a metaphor for the fragile state of affairs where everything seems to be precariously held together and one wrong move could bring everything tumbling down.


The song then goes on to talk about how we have messed things up so much that it has become a work of art. This is a reflection on how we have become so accustomed to the chaos and dysfunction around us that it has become almost normal. The lyrics also highlight the fact that those in power are not accountable to anyone and are making decisions without any concern for the people they are supposed to be serving.


Throughout the song, there is a sense of frustration and hopelessness, and the repeated refrain of "are we getting too comfortable?" serves as a call to action, urging people to wake up and take responsibility for their own lives and the world around them, rather than just blindly accepting the status quo.

Whose choice was it to make our situation this way? We were given warnings and the opportunity to vote, but now we are wondering if we have become too complacent in our position
