Glitch In The Matrix
Praying for a Glitch: A Heartfelt Journey Through Sibling Love
Lyrics
Oh my mother she told me to keep you in my sight
Guidance from the speaker's mother to keep someone in focus.
She said you're the older one, you're the role model
Acknowledgment of the person as an older sibling and a role model.
Keep him by your side
Encouragement to keep the person close and supported.
Oh my brother you say that your fine but you cry at night
Contrast between the brother's outward appearance and internal struggles.
They laughed in the playground at your hand me downs
Mention of past bullying, particularly related to hand-me-downs.
Oh I wished you'd fight
Expression of desire for the brother to stand up for himself.
But if you don't want to
Respect for the brother's choice not to fight.
I'll do it for you
Commitment from the speaker to fight on behalf of the brother.
I'm gonna pray for a glitch in the matrix
Expressing hope for a sudden change in circumstances.
To wake up one day and see that we've switched places
Desire for a switch in roles with the brother.
And whatever you're facing i'll face it
Commitment to face any challenges the brother is experiencing.
I'll do it for you, do it for you
Reiteration of the speaker's willingness to act on behalf of the brother.
I heard the news was so out of the blue
Surprise at unexpected bad news concerning the brother.
That you weren't doing so good
Expressing concern for the brother's well-being.
No you don't deserve this, but we're learning
Acknowledging the unfairness of the brother's situation and the unpredictability of life.
That life doesn't do as it should
Recognition that life doesn't always go as planned.
It's so unexpected
Emphasis on the unexpected nature of the brother's difficulties.
Promise I'll keep you protected
Promise to protect the brother despite life's uncertainties.
I'm gonna pray for a glitch in the matrix
Reiteration of the hope for a change in circumstances.
To wake up one day and see that we've switched places
Continued desire for a role reversal with the brother.
And whatever you're facing i'll face it
Renewed commitment to face challenges alongside the brother.
I'll do it for you, do it for you
Reiteration of the speaker's readiness to act on behalf of the brother.
Take some deep breaths and steady the breathing
Advice to the brother to calm down and regulate breathing.
Cause I'll be the air in your lungs if you need me
Declaration of being a supportive presence for the brother.
I'll be fighting while your asleep dreaming
Commitment to continue fighting for the brother even in his sleep.
I'll do it for you, do it for you
Reiteration of the speaker's dedication to act on behalf of the brother.
I don't think he can face it
Repeated acknowledgment of the speaker's perceived strength and willingness to swap places.
I'm bigger I can take it
-If only we could just switch places
-I don't think he can face it
-I'm bigger I can take it
-If only we could just switch places
-I don't think he can face it
-I'm bigger I can take it
-If only we could just switch places
-I don't think he can face it
-I'm bigger I can take it
-If only we could just switch places
-I'm gonna pray for a glitch in the matrix
Reiteration of hope for a change in circumstances.
To wake up one day and see that we've switched places
Continued desire for a role reversal with the brother.
And whatever you're facing i'll face it
Renewed commitment to face challenges alongside the brother.
I'll do it for you
Final reaffirmation of the speaker's readiness to act on behalf of the brother.
I'll do it for you
Concluding commitment to support and act on behalf of the brother.
