27
Fall Out Boy · Folie à Deux [2008]
If 'home is where the heart is'
Then we're all just fucked
I can't remember
I can't remember
And I want it so bad
I'd shoot the sunshine into my veins
I can't remember the good old days
And it's kind of funny
The way we're wearing anchors on our shirts
When being anchored aboard just feels like a curse
My mind is a safe
And if I keep it then we all get rich
My body is an orphanage
'We take everyone in'
Doing lines of dust and sweat
Off last night's stage
Just to feel like you
The milligrams in my head
Burning tobacco in the wind
Chasing the direction
Chasing the direction
Chasing the direction you went
You're a bottled star
The planets align
Just like Mars
You shine in the sky
You shine in the sky
Are all the good times getting gone?
They come and go and come and go and come and go
I've got a lot of friends who are stars
But some are just black holes
My mind is a safe
And if I keep it then we all get rich
My body is an orphanage
'We take everyone in'
Doing lines of dust and sweat
Off last night's stage
Just to feel like you
And it's kind of funny
The way we're wearing anchors on our shirts
When being anchored aboard just feels like a curse
My mind is a safe
And if I keep it then we all get rich
My body is an orphanage
'We take everyone in'
Doing lines of dust and sweat
Off last night's stage
Just to feel like you
If 'home is where the heart is'
Then we're all just fucked
Then we're all just fucked
I can't remember
I can't remember
And I want it so bad
I'd shoot the sunshine into my veins
I can't remember the good old days
And it's kind of funny
The way we're wearing anchors on our shirts
When being anchored aboard just feels like a curse
My mind is a safe
And if I keep it then we all get rich
My body is an orphanage
'We take everyone in'
Doing lines of dust and sweat
Off last night's stage
Just to feel like you
The milligrams in my head
Burning tobacco in the wind
Chasing the direction
Chasing the direction
Chasing the direction you went
You're a bottled star
The planets align
Just like Mars

You shine in the sky
Are all the good times getting gone?
They come and go and come and go and come and go
I've got a lot of friends who are stars
But some are just black holes

And if I keep it then we all get rich
My body is an orphanage
'We take everyone in'

Fall Out Boy's "27" stands as a defining track from their 2008 album, Folie à Deux, capturing the band at the height of their mainstream pop-punk dominance. The recording reflects the darker, more introspective tone that characterized this era of their discography, moving beyond the bright optimism of their earlier work. As part of a catalogue that includes hits like "Sugar, We're Goin' Down," the song showcases the group's ability to blend energetic instrumentation with lyrical depth. The track remains a significant song in their body of work, illustrating the sonic evolution that helped solidify their status as a leading force in modern rock music during the late 2000s.
