Lyrics
Love
Expressing the theme of love.
What is love?
Raising a question about the nature of love.
Do you know?
Asking if the listener understands love.
Or have you just memorized this year's love?
Suggesting whether love is truly understood or just a societal concept.
Or one they preach is from above?
Questioning if love is divine or merely preached by others.
Hey my brother, don't know what to do?
Addressing a brotherly figure who seems lost or uncertain.
Well I say, hey my brother, what've you done for you?
Encouraging the brother to reflect on self-care and personal actions.
And I say, hey my brother, you spend your time on me
Highlighting the importance of spending time on oneself.
And I say, hey my brother
Continuing the advice to the brother.
I know now that there are two of us here
Acknowledging the presence of internal conflicts - courage and fear.
One courage, one fear
Describing the ongoing internal struggle for the speaker's heart.
And how they fight for my heart
Highlighting the conflict between courage and fear.
They fight for my heart
Repeating the internal struggle for emphasis.
It gets me down, down, down, sometimes right to the ground
Expressing moments of emotional low and vulnerability.
To the point where I almost relent
Describing a point where surrender seems almost inevitable.
But then I glean their love
Finding strength and inspiration from the love around.
It's a rotten hull
Describing love as flawed or imperfect.
So I leave them to die with their dead and recall all for which I've bled
Choosing to let go of negative influences and focus on personal growth.
Hey my brother, don't know what to do?
Repeating the earlier expression of uncertainty in the brotherly figure.
Well I say, hey my brother, what've you done for you?
Reiterating the importance of self-care and personal actions.
And I say, hey my brother, you spend your time on me
Emphasizing the value of time spent on oneself.
And I say, hey my brother, it's killing you can't you see?
Pointing out that neglecting oneself can be harmful.
And you say, hey my brother, there is no I in Team
Quoting a common saying about teamwork and selflessness.
But I say, hey my brother, there is one in Alive
Challenging the notion by emphasizing the importance of individual existence.
And I say, hey my brother, so are you doing it right?
Prompting self-reflection on whether one is living life correctly.
And I say, hey my brother, hey my brother
Repeating the call to the brother, suggesting mutual understanding.
Hey my brother, don't know what to do?
Repeating the expression of uncertainty in the brotherly figure.
Well I say, hey my brother, what've you done for you?
Reiterating the importance of self-care and personal actions.
And I say, hey my brother, you spend your time on me
Emphasizing the value of time spent on oneself.
And I say, hey my brother, it's killing you can't you see?
Pointing out that neglecting oneself can be harmful.
And you say, hey my brother, there is no I in Team
Quoting a common saying about teamwork and selflessness.
But I say, hey my brother, I found one in Alive
Challenging the notion by emphasizing the importance of individual existence.
And I say, hey my brother, so are you doing it right?
Prompting self-reflection on whether one is living life correctly.
And I say, hey my brother
Repeating the call to the brother, suggesting mutual understanding.
