Family
Kygo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(My family)

I know water that's thicker than love
That's deeper than love with my friends
People come and some people go, and
Some people ride 'til the end

When I am blind in my mind
I swear they be my rescue, my lifeline
I don't know what I'd do if I, if I'd survive
My brothers and my sisters, in my life
Yeah

I know some people, they would die for me
We run together, they're my family
When I get up, they gon' be high with me
I'll say forever my family

My family
I'll say forever my family
My family
I'll say forever my family

Stolen dreams took our, our childish days
Still ain't nothin' changed, now we're grown
We're still young, still got our mindless ways
And our timeless phase, kickin' songs

When I am blind in my mind
I swear they be my rescue, my lifeline
I don't know what I'd do if I, if I'd survive
My brothers and my sisters, in my life
Yeah

I know some people, they would die for me (die for me)
We run together, they're my family
When I get up, they gon' be high with me (gon' be high with me, yeah)
I'll say forever my family

Family (yeah)
I'll say forever my family
My family
I'll say forever my family

I know some people, they would die for me (die for me)
We run together, they're my family




When I get up, they gon' be high with me (gon' be high with me, yeah)
I'll say forever my family

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Kygo's song "Family" convey a deep sense of love, loyalty, and connection with close friends who have become like family. The song captures the idea that sometimes the bonds we form with friends are stronger than blood relations. The line "I know water that's thicker than love" suggests that the friendship and support shared with these individuals is even more profound and meaningful than the love experienced within traditional family relationships.


The lyrics also touch on the transient nature of relationships, acknowledging that people may come and go in our lives, but true friends ride with us until the end. In times of need and vulnerability, they become our rescue and lifeline. They are the ones who help us survive and make us feel like we're not alone. These friends are described as brothers and sisters, emphasizing the depth and closeness of the bond.


The second verse brings a nostalgic element, reflecting on stolen dreams and the loss of innocence that comes with growing up. Despite the passage of time, the friends still maintain their youthful spirit and carefree ways. They continue to create and enjoy music together, highlighting the enduring nature of their connection.


Overall, "Family" celebrates the idea of chosen family and the unwavering support and love that can be found in those friendships. It explores the notion that blood is not always the strongest bond, and that the people we choose to surround ourselves with can become our greatest source of strength and inspiration.

Família (part. Kygo)
Eu sei que a água é mais espessa que o sangue
Isso é mais profundo do que o amor com meus amigos
As pessoas vêm e algumas pessoas vão
E algumas pessoas vão até o fim

Quando estou cego na minha mente
Eu juro que eles seriam meu resgate, minha salvação
Eu não sei o que faria, se eu sobrevivesse
Meus irmãos e minhas irmãs na minha vida, sim

Conheço algumas pessoas, elas morreriam por mim
Nós fugimos juntos, eles são minha família
Quando eu me levantar, eles irão às alturas comigo
Eu ficarei pra sempre, minha família

Família
Eu ficarei pra sempre, minha família
Família
Eu ficarei pra sempre, minha família

Nossos sonhos roubados levaram nossas, nossas infâncias
Não mudou nada ainda, agora estamos crescidos
Ainda somos jovens, ainda temos nossos modos irracionais
Em uma fase atemporal, chutando pedras

Quando estou cego, na minha mente
Eu juro que eles seriam meu resgate, minha salvação
Eu não sei o que faria, se eu sobrevivesse
Meus irmãos e minhas irmãs na minha vida, sim

Eu conheço algumas pessoas, elas morreriam por mim (morreriam por mim)
Nós fugimos juntos, eles são minha família
Quando eu me levantar, eles irão às alturas comigo (vão às alturas comigo, sim)
Eu ficarei pra sempre, minha família

Família
Eu ficarei pra sempre, minha família
Família
Eu ficarei pra sempre, minha família

Eu conheço algumas pessoas, elas morreriam por mim (morreriam por mim)
Nós corremos juntos, eles são minha família
Quando eu me levantar, eles irão às alturas comigo (vão às alturas comigo, sim)
Eu ficarei pra sempre, minha família

Avicii gave so many talents to this world
He introduced sandro cavazza
He gave rory karmer
He inspired kygo
He gave chance to many struggling artists he set thier careers too
He made so many hits with those who were struggling to find platform rather than using popular artists
He found real talented people like aloe blacc,zac brown band,dan tymityminski and many others

@sert1far716

So trueee!

@maksymiliannowakowski6256

Kygo never fails to release music at the right time.... I was in between leaving this really good job for a company that’s hard to get into for a medical job. I was torn between what to do because I didn’t have a full backup plan yet, but the people who supported me the most were my family 💚 Thank you Kygo for this song
