Consisting of Brian James, Mik McKeogh, Dar Grant and Greg McCarthy, the band formed in 2008.
A shared love of epic, distorted guitars, blistering harmonius pop, art rock and electronica led to the band spending the best part of two years holed up in a disused office space in deepest North County Dublin, writing, rehearsing and at times venturing out to play as special guests for Franz Ferdinand, Passion Pit, The Maccabees, Local Natives amongst other.
More recently they have just recorded and finished their debut album with acclaimed producer Stephen Street (Blur, The Smiths) which will be released on June 4th (Model Citizen via PIAS).
Current single ‘All Those Friendly People’ out now
These are Funeral Suits. Take them and break them. Let them into your world.

Funeral Suits Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Machine I am
Losing
My patience
I brought you in

Taste my skin
Crawling
Under you

Your heart's so thin

Suddenly I
(You're hot, you're hot)
(You're hot, you're hot)
Shout it out
(You're hot, you're hot)
(You're hot, you're hot)

Suddenly I
(You're hot, you're hot)
(You're hot, you're hot)
Shout it out
(You're hot, you're hot)
(You're hot, you're hot)

Machine I am
Losing
My patience
I brought you in

Taste my skin
Crawling
Under you
Your heart's so thin

Suddenly I
(You're hot, you're hot)
(You're hot, you're hot)
Shout it out
(You're hot, you're hot)
(You're hot, you're hot)

Suddenly I
(You're hot, you're hot)
(You're hot, you're hot)
Shout it out

(You're hot, you're hot)
(You're hot, you're hot)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Machines Too" by Funeral Suits seem to be about a person who feels like they are losing their identity to technology or a machine. The repeated phrase "machine I am" hints at this sense of merging with technology. The singer is losing their patience, perhaps with the constant demands of modern life or the way we are expected to always be connected.

The lines "taste my skin / crawling under you / your heart's so thin" suggest a relationship between the singer and the machine, perhaps a deep connection or dependence on technology. The words "your heart's so thin" could be interpreted as a commentary on the emotional emptiness of technology or the superficiality of our online lives.

The repeated phrase "suddenly I shout it out" could be a cry for help or a sudden realization of how much the singer has lost themselves in this technological world. Overall, the lyrics seem to be a warning against letting technology consume us completely, perhaps a plea to reconnect with our humanity.
