about

Family Cookout is about: someone expressing their pent-up frustrations towards a parent that mistreated them. The narrator or protagonist, reflects on the negative impact this person had on their life, molding them into someone they never wanted to be. The lyrics highlight the hurtful actions and lack of empathy from this person, expressing a desire for justice and retribution. The metaphor of burning the house down symbolizes a desire to escape and leave behind the painful memories associated with that home. The song emphasizes the narrator's refusal to be shaped by the past and their determination to assert their own identity.

lyrics

I've got something to say to you
Its been on my mind
Ever since I left your miserable home to make the climb
I will never be what you thought you molded me to be
All the hate and friction
I can see right through you just like fucking glass time does not heal wounds from the fucking past
I cannot see why you would be this fucking cruel to three kids who did nothing to you than be born by fucking ignorance
All these memories formed in that house
Now I have to live with them fuck that now
Give me courage give me the matchbook
Because like it or not we're all gonna cook
Watch us go in up in flame
Have you, have you no shame?
No matter, we'll all burn the same
You know you have yourself to blame
I've got something to say to you
Its been on my mind
Ever since I left your miserable home to make the climb
I will never be what you thought you molded me to be
All the hate and friction
I can see right through you just like fucking glass time does not heal wounds from the fucking past

KAI is my solo project. I go by the same name (Kai Ian). I write the guitar, bass and drums by myself using MIDI. I record the vocals myself as well in my DIY "sound treated" closet. The music is low-tuned to double drop C for a raw and aggressive sound. The music is cathartic release, while containing mostly true details of abuse. ... more
