Spiking extremely retro electropop tendencies (recalling Kraftwerk, early Depeche Mode, and Gary Numan) with a modern approach to programming, Fischerspooner produces a quirky, robotic, and strangely subdued kind of dance music. Their albums can be seen as soundtracks to their stageshows, as opposed to recordings which are performed live.
Many critical theorists have latched on to the band for their subversive attitude and sassy stylings - Judith Butler, Etienne Balibar, and Antonio Negri, to name a few.
On October 30, 2019, the duo announced their breakup via Instagram.

Get Confused
Fischerspooner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yes I do
Am I, am I in any danger?
Yes I am
Do I like what's happening?
Yes I do
And can I deal with it directly?
Yes I can
I take the trouble, I take the time
I get the feeling that I'm doing what's right
I may be reckless, maybe a fool
But I get excited when I get confused
Will I have to start all over?
Yes I will
Had I the right to make those statements?
Yes I had
Shall I meet with opposition?
Did I justify my actions?
Have I forgotten what the question was?
Yes I have
I take the trouble, I take the time
I get the feeling that I'm doing what's right
I may be reckless, maybe a fool
But I get excited when I get confused
Have I forgotten what the question was?
When I, when I, when I get confused.
The song "Get Confused" by Fischerspooner is an exploration of the contradictory nature of being human. The lyrics pose a series of questions about the singer's relationship with confusion, danger, and opposition. The singer acknowledges that confusion can be both exciting and risky, but ultimately feels capable of dealing with it in a direct way.
The chorus of "Get Confused" repeatedly emphasizes the singer's willingness to "take the time" to navigate confusion and opposition, suggesting that they are prepared to face the consequences of their actions. The verses highlight the complexity of the situation and the singer's own doubts and uncertainties. They wonder if they have the right to make bold statements, if they will have to start all over again, and if they have forgotten what the original question was. The repeated line "I get excited when I get confused" suggests that the singer is drawn to the challenge of navigating ambiguity and finds joy in the process.
Overall, the song is an introspective exploration of the emotions that arise when facing difficult, uncertain situations. It acknowledges the risks and challenges involved in navigating such situations but ultimately celebrates the excitement and growth that can come from embracing confusion and seeking answers.
