Kygo started to learn to play the piano at age six through lessons. He decided to have a go at remixes and creating electronic music after discovering Avicii at age 15-16. After receiving over 80 million hits on YouTube and Soundcloud, Kygo was contacted by both Avicii and Chris Martin of Coldplay to create official remixes of one the artists' songs.
His remix of "I See Fire" entered Romania's Top 40 and remained there for 14 weeks, peaking at Number 2 as of June 3rd, 2014.
When creating/remixing music Kygo uses Logic Studio.
His track "It Ain't Me," with Selena Gomez, has exceeded 1 billion plays on Spotify.
He has an official site at https://www.kygomusic.com/ but at this moment it is about 5 years out of date. (In 2020 it refers to his "hotly anticipated album scheduled for 2015.")
Broken Glass
Kygo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But we're stupid, but we're stupid, but we're stupid
We could turn love into a fight
Over nothing, over nothing, over nothing
And the only thing we had in common with each other
Was destroying everything we ever touched
So cheers to us and what we had
Let's keep dancing on the broken glass
And all that's left is smoke and ash
So let's keep dancing on the broken glass
Cheers to us and what we had
Let's keep dancing on the broken glass
'Cause when you're high, you're bound to crash
So let's keep dancing on the broken glass
Let's keep dancing on the broken glass
Cheers to us
Let's keep dancing on the broken glass
We could've done this perfectly
But we're useless, but we're useless, but we're useless
Nobody does a tragedy like you and me
'Cause we're ruthless, 'cause we're ruthless, 'cause we're ruthless
And the only thing we had in common with each other
Was destroying everything we ever touched
So cheers to us and what we had
Let's keep dancing on the broken glass
And all that's left is smoke and ash
So let's keep dancing on the broken glass
Cheers to us and what we had
Let's keep dancing on the broken glass
'Cause when you're high, you're bound to crash
So let's keep dancing on the broken glass
Let's keep dancing on the broken glass
And cheers to us
Let's keep dancing, dancing
Let's keep on dancing, yeah
Let's keep dancing on the broken glass
Kygo's "Broken Glass" is a song about a tumultuous relationship that is filled with chaos, destruction, and emotional pain. The lyrics describe a situation where the couple is so close to having something right, but their own stupidity gets in the way. They have a love that could turn into a fight for no reason, and they find themselves destroying every good thing they touch. The only thing they truly have in common with each other is their ability to ruin everything in their path.
The chorus repeats the toast to what they had and encourages them to dance on the broken glass. This is a metaphor for their relationship. Dancing on broken glass is dangerous and painful, and represents their destructive tendencies. The dancing is also meant to be a coping mechanism, something that helps them forget the pain and the past. The lyrics end on a hopeful note, as though they can keep dancing and keep going despite the damage they have done to each other.
In essence, "Broken Glass" is a song about two people who are addicted to a toxic relationship that they know is not good for them. They recognize that they are their worst enemies and that their love is not going to end well. However, they choose to dance on the broken glass because it makes them feel alive, connected, and happy. The song is a warning about the dangers of getting too caught up in a tumultuous relationship and the importance of recognizing when it's time to let go.
