Lyrics
Brother, Brother
Expressing a connection or familiarity with a sibling.
I've been tryin' to follow through
Attempting to follow through on something.
Don't know why you sent that message
Uncertain about the purpose or content of a received message.
Don't know what I understood
Confusion or lack of clarity about the message's meaning.
Sister, sister
Addressing a female sibling, expressing hope she heard a message.
Hope you heard now too
Desire for the sister to understand the message.
Never got to say I'm sorry
Regret for not apologizing and acknowledging mistakes.
For never seeing past my ruse
Acknowledging a failure to see beyond a deceptive facade.
Tell me, gonna let us figure it out
Seeking resolution and understanding in the relationship.
We're getting older like they told us, slow it down
Acknowledging the aging process and the need to slow down.
I've been thinking 'bout how close we are
Reflecting on the closeness of the relationship.
Let's get closer 'fore it's over slow it down
Expressing a desire to strengthen the bond before it's too late.
It's the return more money to burn
Returning with more resources but facing consequences.
Ghost ride in the left lane, messing up babies perm
Engaging in risky behavior that affects others.
But no destination usually ain't my concern
Not concerned about the lack of a clear goal in life.
Except now the scenery is looking different ya heard
Noticing a change in surroundings or perspective.
I need to decrease my speed, that's what they say
Recognizing the need to slow down according to advice.
I need to hit this release, eject away
Desire to release and escape from current circumstances.
My father sort of agrees but he loves to play
Father agrees with the need to slow down but enjoys playing.
My mother hopes to get home before time escapes
Mother wishes to return home before time slips away.
Brother, brother
Repetition of the brother addressing the sibling.
I've been tryin' to follow through
Reiteration of the attempt to follow through on something.
Don't know why you sent that message
Reiteration of uncertainty about a received message.
Don't know what I understood
Reiteration of confusion or lack of clarity about the message.
Sister, sister
Repetition of addressing the female sibling.
Hope you heard now too
Reiteration of the desire for the sister to understand the message.
Never got to say I'm sorry
Reiteration of regret for not apologizing and acknowledging mistakes.
For never seeing past my ruse
Reiteration of acknowledging a failure to see beyond a deceptive facade.
Tell me, gonna let us figure it out
Reiteration of seeking resolution and understanding in the relationship.
We're getting older like they told us, slow it down
Reiteration of acknowledging the aging process and the need to slow down.
I've been thinking 'bout how close we are (ha)
Reiteration of reflecting on the closeness of the relationship.
Let's get closer 'fore it's over slow it down
Reiteration of expressing a desire to strengthen the bond before it's too late.
It's the return more money to burn
Repetition of returning with more resources but facing consequences.
Ghost ride in the left lane, like I'll never return
Repetition of engaging in risky behavior that affects others.
But no destination usually ain't my concern
Repetition of not being concerned about the lack of a clear goal in life.
Except now the scenery is looking different ya heard
Repetition of noticing a change in surroundings or perspective.
I need to decrease my speed, that's what they say
Repetition of recognizing the need to slow down according to advice.
I need to hit this release, eject away
Repetition of desire to release and escape from current circumstances.
My father sort of agrees so he moved away
Father agrees and takes action by moving away.
My mother held us all down on the day to day
Mother maintains stability in daily life.
