Family

Mother Mother's song "Family" is a powerful ode to the unbreakable bonds and fierce loyalty that define familial relationships. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a family that is deeply interconnected, sharing not just blood but also emotional and psychological ties. The opening lines, "They got my blood up in their veins / I get a cut, they feel my pain," emphasize the profound empathy and shared experiences that come with being part of a family. This connection is further highlighted by the lines, "They got my heart, they got my soul / They know the stuff nobody knows," suggesting that family members understand each other in ways that outsiders never could.

The song also delves into the unique dynamics and quirks that make each family special. The lyrics describe a family that is unapologetically themselves, even if it means being seen as a "strange breed" by others. Whether they are "cussing like sailors" at dinner or "dancing on tables" at a party, the family members are portrayed as a tight-knit group that stands out from the crowd. This sense of unity is encapsulated in the repeated refrain, "They might be crazy, but they is my family," which underscores the idea that family members accept and love each other despite—or perhaps because of—their eccentricities.

The song's chorus, "You can’t get to them unless you get through me / You fuck with them you fuck with me," serves as a declaration of unwavering loyalty and protection. It conveys the message that family members will always stand up for each other, no matter the circumstances. The closing lines, "We are all walking each other home," offer a poignant reminder that, despite the chaos and craziness, family is ultimately about supporting and guiding each other through life's journey. This sentiment resonates deeply, making "Family" a heartfelt tribute to the enduring strength and love that bind families together.
