“family politics” is the seventh track on XYLØ’s debut album, “unamerican beauty”. In a live stream, XYLØ explained before its release that the song starts off as a ballad, and transforms as it goes. The song is about people who have or are having problems with their families.
[Verse 1]
Every single day that I'm alive
I'm just happy I survived
To tell the tale of you and I
I learned the hard way what is love
A brother joined by blood
Who I don't see anymore
And every time you spoke every single word
Every syllable hurt, was a twist of the knife
I'd give back as good as I got
But I never felt better, only more lost
But I still think
[Chorus]
Everything's gonna be fine
Everything's gonna be fine
Everything's gonna be fine
Everything's gonna be fine
[Verse 2]
Felt like everyone had picked your side
Like I was ostracized
But I spent some time, now I've realized (Realized)
Maybe you felt the same as me
No fruit left on the trees
But seasons changed and so did we
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
[Chorus]
But everything's gonna be fine
Everything's gonna be fine
Everything's gonna be fine
Everything's gonna be fine
[Bridge]
Time takes the sting away but the rest of it stays
So watch what you say to the ones that you love
Time takes the sting away but the rest of it stays
So watch what you say (Say, say, say, say) to the ones that you love
The one that you love (The one that you love), the one that you
The one that you love (The one that you love), the one that you
[Chorus]
Everything's gonna be fine (The one that you love)
Everything's gonna be fine (The one that you)
Everything's gonna be fine (The one that you love)
Everything's gonna be fine (The one that you)
Everything's gonna be fine (The one that you love)
Everything's gonna be fine (The one that you)
Everything's gonna be fine (The one that you love)
Everything's gonna be fine (The one that you)
