Junior Boys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
one last time
before it gets to cold
just one more round
in that tourist town
with another home for sale
becomes one more year
and you'll forget me soon i fear
through the crooked roads
and the static codes
on the hotel radios
[missing]... broken down again
[missing]... so still around .... from the rain
[missing]... and it won't play
[missing]... till you say you're ok
and the motor starts
it's cold and vicious heart
moves me close to you each day
and when i arrive
my god you'll be surprised
of all the lines that changed
and one more year
becomes one more year
and lights become less clear
so let's meet the road
tonight we'll drive back home
forget the hotel radios
[missing]... broken down again
[missing]... so still around .... from the rain
[missing]... and it won't play
[missing]... till you say you're ok
The lyrics of Junior Boys' song FM suggest the theme of leaving behind a stagnant life and finding a new beginning. The song talks about leaving before it gets too cold, indicating that the change is needed before it becomes too late. The line 'just one more round in that tourist town with another home for sale' hints at the idea of finding a new place to call home. However, the fear of being forgotten is present in the lyrics as well, as the persona thinks that 'one more year becomes one more year, and you'll forget me soon I fear'. This fear of being forgotten is further amplified by the mention of 'the crooked roads and the static codes on the hotel radios', which highlights the perpetual movement in life and how it can be lonely at times.
The song seems to be about a person who is leaving behind their past and everything they know to start anew. As the persona says, 'and the motor starts it's cold and vicious heart, moves me close to you each day', it is evident that they are trying to get closer to someone special by leaving everything behind. The lyrics make it clear that after traveling through crooked roads while listening to static codes on hotel radios, the persona finally arrives and everything has changed. However, even though it may take 'one more year becomes one more year and lights become less clear', the song is an ode to the journey of starting again and moving forward.

Let's leave tonight
Let's go away tonight
one last time
for the final time
before it gets too cold
before the temperature drops too low
just one more round
one more complete revolution
in that tourist town
in a town commonly visited by tourists
with another home for sale
with another property available for purchase
and then, one more year
and after that, another year
becomes one more year
turns into another year
and you'll forget me soon I fear
and you'll forget about me, which I'm worried about
through the crooked roads
driving along winding paths
and the static codes
and the unclear radio frequencies
on the hotel radios
on the radios inside hotels

and the motor starts
and the engine begins to run
it's cold and vicious heart
the engine is cold and unforgiving
moves me close to you each day
brings me closer to you every day
and when I arrive
and when I reach my destination
my god you'll be surprised
you'll be very surprised
of all the lines that changed
about all of the things that have changed
and one more year
and after that, another year
becomes one more year
turns into another year
and lights become less clear
and the view becomes more obscure
so let's meet the road
let's hit the road
tonight we'll drive back home
tonight we'll drive back to our house
forget the hotel radios
don't pay attention to the radios inside hotels
