Birthday
The Carbonfools Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This world they show on CNN
Just does not work for me
Terrorists and global crisis
Dead fish in the sea

Fake solutions air pollution
They privatised the space
Atombombs grow
Police should know
Politicians face

I pray the lord to save them all;
They had no time to pray
I pray the lord to save them all
'Cause I don't care today...
...You know why?

'Cause it's my birthday
And I'm funky
I'm gonna rock the shit out of this party
I'm gonna drink,
Then I throw up
I'm gonna stare into your pretty pretty eyes
I'm gonna dance so silly silly
Wawe my chilly willy
Shock your shaker honey
Hold me tight
I'm gonna dance like never before
Split my blood on the floor
Shoot my mind off
And hold me tight

The message of the radio
Scares me out the space
Reptilians they eat your friends
You better run away

Fake solutions air pollution
They privatised the space
Atombombs grow
Police should know
Politicians face





'Cause it's my birthday...

Overall Meaning

The Carbonfools's song "Birthday" is a contrast between the chaotic state of the world and the singer's carefree, celebratory birthday spirit. The first verse describes the problems of the world through the lens of media, including terrorism, global crisis, and pollution. The lyrics convey a sense of frustration and exasperation with the state of the world, with the singer feeling overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of the issues at hand. The second verse takes a more fantastical turn, with references to reptilians and an almost conspiratorial tone. The use of the phrase "fake solutions" highlights a sense of distrust in the institutions that are meant to be solving these complex problems.


Throughout the song, the singer repeats the refrain, "It's my birthday / and I'm funky," as a way to escape from the harsh realities of the world. Celebrating their birthday symbolizes a moment of respite from the stress and pressures of the outside world. The lyrics suggest a desire to let go and have fun in the face of uncertainty and chaos.


In "Birthday," The Carbonfools provide a commentary on the state of the world while presenting a way to escape from the harsh realities of life. The lyrics represent a dichotomy between the dystopian world outside and the joyful celebration happening within.
