Family
Jordan Rakei Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can see the cold world
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?
Not yet truly gone

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

Family

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.
