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He has an official site at https://www.kygomusic.com/ but at this moment it is about 5 years out of date.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.")
Cut Your Teeth
Kygo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Didn't I warn you good?
Maybe we couldn't help it
Maybe we never should
Didn't I say it slowly?
Didn't I make it clear?
Is it unfair to ask you?
You cut your teeth on the lack of answers, singing
Come back home and it don't feel the same
Well I've bled words onto a page for you
And you never knew my name
Didn't I make it harder?
Didn't I leave you that?
Was it too much to ask you?
Why it is you still care?
You cut your teeth on the lack of answers, singing
Come back home and it don't feel the same
Well I've bled words onto a page for you
And you never knew my name
You cut your teeth on the lack of answers, singing
Come back home and it don't feel the same
Well I've bled words onto a page for you
And you never knew my name
Kygo's song "Cut Your Teeth" seems to be about a relationship that was warned against from the beginning, but couldn't be helped. The singer in the song pleads with their partner, asking if they ever listened to the warnings, and why they are still sticking around despite the difficulties. The partner, it seems, is struggling with feelings of displacement, feeling like they're not completely at home where they are, but also cutting their teeth on the lack of answers to their problems.
The idea of cutting your teeth on something is an interesting one. Often, we associate it with learning and growing, but also with pain and difficulty. This seems to be what the partner is going through in the song - they're struggling to find their place and feel comfortable, but they're also gaining experience and knowledge from their struggles. The singer, meanwhile, is frustrated that their efforts to make the relationship work aren't being recognized or appreciated - they've "bled words onto a page" for their partner, but are never acknowledged or remembered.
Overall, "Cut Your Teeth" is a poignant exploration of a complicated relationship. It highlights the struggles and challenges of trying to find your way in a difficult situation, and the frustration that comes with feeling like your efforts are going unnoticed.
