Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Who's in a bunker?
Who's in a bunker?

Women and children first
And the children first
And the children

I'll laugh until my head comes off
I'll swallow until I burst
Until I burst

Until I
Who's in a bunker?

I have seen too much
I haven't seen enough
You haven't seen it

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Hot Chip's "A Family In Here" are open to interpretation but some theories suggest that the song is a commentary on the impending doom of society. The repetition of "Who's in a bunker?" suggests that someone is hiding from something or preparing for the worst. The phrase "women and children first" may allude to the Titanic disaster, where women and children were given priority to leave the sinking ship. However, the phrase could also imply that society is going through a crisis, and the vulnerable members of society should be protected.


The lines "I'll laugh until my head comes off, I'll swallow until I burst" can be interpreted as a coping mechanism in the face of the impending crisis. The singer is willing to push themselves to the limit to deal with the situation, but even that might not be enough. The repeated phrase "everything all of the time" suggests that modern society allows us access to endless information and material possessions, but we've become complacent in our consumption. The song ends with the haunting line "The first of the children" which could imply that the younger generation will be the first to suffer the consequences of our actions.
