We met in the haze of a digital glow
Swiped right on destiny, putting on quite a show
Your laugh was a melody, my world in a spin
Didn't ask 'bout your history, just wanted you in
Swore blind that our love was bigger than all
Didn't care for your God, didn't care for my call
"Culture's a concept," we'd drunkenly preach
"Love is the language, beyond any reach."

We built us a fortress, just you and just me
Ignoring the whispers of what used to be
Said family was background, a harmless old tale
Our future was shiny, destined to sail...

But then the pink cloud started to fade
The sweet, naive promises we made
And suddenly the shadows started to creep
The roots of our families, buried so deep
Is it the glue that holds us in place?
Or the fault line that cracks with no trace?
The unspoken drama, the hidden design
Damn, this family thing is way more than mine.

Your Sunday roast dinners felt strangely profound
My chaotic gatherings, no silence was found
Small habits, small comments, a look in your eye
A difference in thinking, just passing us by
You talked 'bout traditions, I shrugged and said "Why?"
I craved independence, beneath a free sky
We tried to pretend it was nothing, you see
Just us against gravity, wild and so free.

We built us a fortress, just you and just me
Ignoring the whispers of what used to be
Said family was background, a harmless old tale
Our future was shiny, destined to sail...

But then the pink cloud started to fade
The sweet, naive promises we made
And suddenly the shadows started to creep
The roots of our families, buried so deep
Is it the glue that holds us in place?
Or the fault line that cracks with no trace?
The unspoken drama, the hidden design
Damn, this family thing is way more than mine.

Sometimes it's comfort, a hand in the storm
A shared understanding, keeping us warm
Other times it's barbed wire, a wall in between
The unspoken battles, a difficult scene
We thought we were stronger, a world of our own
But a tree can't forget where its seed has been sown.

'Cause now the pink cloud has completely just faded
The naive promises, severely degraded
And suddenly the shadows are here, wide and deep
The roots of our families, buried so deep
Is it the glue that holds us in place?
Or the fault line that cracks with no trace?
The unspoken drama, the hidden design
Damn, this family thing is way more than mine.

Yeah, way more than mine...
That love and that culture intertwined.
