Jordan Rakei Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every time I'm warm
Though it's heating up here
I should let it snow
Wrap my hands around you
I want it all for sure
That you had to disappear?
Family
You're still part of me
Family
And now I know your heart's in tears
Family
I've been my proudest fear
Family
Just don't let time be wasted here
I have seen the angels
Put me down to sleep
And when all had settled down
They were there to see
Now it seems I'm stable
Though you disagree
That our lives were torn apart
By a selfish greed
Family
You're still part of mе
Family
And now I know your heart's in tears
Family
I've been my proudеst fear
Family
Just don't let time be wasted here

Jordan Rakei's song "Family" is a poignant piece that delves into the theme of familial relationships and how they can be strained due to various factors such as greed, misunderstandings, and distance. The lyrics evoke a sense of heartache and nostalgia as the singer recalls the time he spent with someone he considers part of his family. He talks about how the world can be harsh and cold, but how warmth can be found in the embrace of loved ones. He wonders if he should let the coldness of the world snow upon him, indicating a possible feeling of defeat or isolation.
The chorus emphasizes the importance of family in the singer's life, despite the turbulence they may have experienced. He acknowledges that his sense of self is linked to the people he calls family. He notes that his proudest fear is that he may be losing them, yet he urges them not to let time go to waste. The last repetition of the chorus seems to have more urgency as if he is urging his family to hold on to each other tightly.
Overall, the song reflects the complex nature of familial ties and how they shape an individual's sense of identity.
