Brother
Finding Liberation: Electric Cinema's Powerful Message in 'Brother'
Lyrics
You came home from a long day
You return home after a tiring day.
Got not much to say
You don't have much to communicate.
Now your eyes look so tired
Your eyes show fatigue from carrying the burdens of the day.
Cause you carried your weight
You've borne the weight of your responsibilities.
You know I would be lying
The speaker acknowledges that they might not be entirely truthful.
On a day like this
The speaker refers to a specific day where dishonesty seems likely.
Cause your mind keeps on lying and you hide inside
Your mind is filled with falsehoods, and you hide from the truth within yourself.
Now brother you just keep on walking
Encouragement for the brother to keep moving forward.
Cause don’t want to hurt no more
Advising the brother not to endure further pain.
I see it when your wings stop flying
The speaker notices when the brother loses motivation or hope.
You fall down and you hit the floor
Describing a moment of defeat when the brother falls and hits the floor.
Now brother you just keep on walking
Reiteration of the encouragement to keep moving forward despite difficulties.
Cause don’t want to hurt no more
Reemphasizing the idea of avoiding additional emotional pain.
You just got to stop pretending
Direct advice to stop pretending and be authentic.
To be someone you where before
Highlighting the need to let go of the past self and embrace authenticity.
