family and friends Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He said things I couldn't remember
Four days into December
For the ghosts to enjoy
He said that I'd never be able
To put my heart on the table for
Somebody to eat
He said to me, "You can't escape
Or chase the boredom away"
While the chorus started
Dancing in a round
He said I had nothing to say
Asked me, "Are you frozen?
Are you even human?
Are you even real?"
[Chorus]
I'll be singing pleasure and pain
Try everything I can
Run inside all the names
Is that what you meant?
Let me forever lie in bed
Blessed by family and friends
Starting life at the end
Is it even real?
[Verse 2]
If I ever cradle my belly
Stepping into the fantasy
Will I wanna go back
In time
To the infinite center (Center)
In the womb of my mother?
Is the chorus so loud?
[Bridge]
They said to me, "You can't escape
One life into your name
Chase a path you won't take
Dancing in a round" (Dancing in a round)
[Chorus]
I'll be singing pleasure and pain
Try everything I can
Gods on chariots say
"Is it what you want?"
Let me forever lie in bed
Blessed by family and friends
Starting life at the end
Maybe it's okay
[Outro]
Maybe it's okay
Maybe it's okay
Is it what you want?
Is it what you want?
Is it what you want?
family and friends Q&A
When did Oklou release family and friends?
Oklou released family and friends on Wed Sep 18 2024.
What did Oklou say about "family and friends"?
‘family and friends’ feels like a battle almost. where I’d be searching for answers to unstated questions, escaping from something intangible, invisible. A memory? Maybe I like the idea that I’d be running away from something, and I’m looking for good reasons to run. Maybe I just like that.
