Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well that's okay, I'm ready to fight crime with you the dark knight (I'll be sleeping past 2:00)
We sometimes fight boom pow bang
But we always make up
(Hey man, I'm sorry)
(It's okay, okay!)
We're not related but here's good news
High five down low to the side let's go!
You're my best friend, my best friend and friends are family
You're my best friend. My best friend and friends are family
You're my family come on everybody and sing (Come on Batman)
No!
You're my best friend, my best friend, and friends are family
Best friends, my friends are the best
Best friends, my friends are the best, my friends are the best
Haha my friends are the best
I've got a utility belt. A sparkly cape
Saw the signal so I'm heading back to the cave
Well I'm all smiles (it's Joker)
Don't be afraid
We'll always bet on black, that's a fact, come on Robin, watch my back
Well, I don't think that you were happy until I met you (I was!)
I know you're playing buddy, we can't lose
'Cause friends are the family you can choose
Hey Robin, gimme the mic, drop the beat, think you can handle that?
Yeah, we're friends but I'm still hardcore
Just as awesome as I was before
In the darkness I am brooding
You're adorably intruding
I don't mind if I'm not irate
Because we both agree I'm great
Tortured soul, dark as gold
But guess who's got that kinda role
Now's his time to be a star
Let Alfred loose on his guitar
You're my best friend, my best friend and friends are family (I think you mean Bat-friend)
You're my best friend my best friend and friends are family
Best friends, my friends are the best
Best friends, my friends are the best
Best friends, my friends are the best
The song 'Friends Are Family' by Oh Hush! is an uplifting ode to the strength and importance of close friendships. The lyrics open with the implication of a close friendship, as the singer wakes up early in the morning and immediately contacts his friend, asking if he is ready to "fight crime" together. Despite their occasional disagreements (which are depicted with cartoonish sound effects in the lyrics), the two friends always manage to make up and stay close.
The chorus serves as an affirmation of the strength of their friendship, as the singer declares that his best friend is also his family. The idea that friends can be chosen as family members suggests that the bond between friends can be just as meaningful and significant as that between blood relatives. The lyrics continue to celebrate the joyful and fun aspects of friendship, including inside jokes like the "high five down low to the side," and the playful competition between the two friends on who is the most "hardcore".
Overall, 'Friends Are Family' is a feel-good song that celebrates the joy and comfort that comes from being surrounded by close friends who are like family.
