Older Brother
Unspoken Bonds: Reflections of Lost Innocence
Lyrics
We both sat, on our beds, in my room
We both sat on our beds in my room.
And we talked about what was coming soon
We discussed what was coming soon.
All the pink powder won't cover up what we did
All the pink powder won't cover up our past mistakes.
Doing wrong when, we were just kids
We made wrong choices when we were just kids.
And I think that you're the older brother
It seems that you're the older brother I never had.
That I never had
Expressing a longing for a fraternal bond.
I wish I could reach out and touch you
Wishing to connect with you emotionally.
Don't worry, I'm not sad
Assuring that the speaker is not saddened by the situation.
I know you're just where you want to be
Understanding that you're where you want to be.
And everyone's a hundred grand
Everyone has their own challenges, hinted at with "a hundred grand."
Save some space for me
Requesting to save some space for the speaker in your life.
And say hello to your dad
Sending regards to your dad.
I will look after your sister I swear
Promising to care for your sister, especially in lonely times.
I'll write her when she's lonely, and send it off in the air
Committing to writing to her and sending emotional support.
I will keep her safe, until I'm dead
Pledging to keep her safe even after death.
She'll always have a place to rest her head
Ensuring she always has a place to find solace.
You don't have to worry about it now
Reassuring that there's no need to worry about her well-being now.
You don't have to live with that frown
Encouraging you not to carry a burden of sadness.
I will hold your memory close to my chest
Promising to cherish your memory close to the heart.
Though I wish you hadn't said it was best
Expressing a wish that the decision to part ways wasn't considered the best.
Could you have stayed just one more night
Pondering if staying just one more night was possible.
For all of us to say goodbye
Expressing a desire for a proper goodbye from everyone.
But all of your troubles are now gone
Acknowledging that all the troubles you faced are now gone.
And you still feel so damn warm
Despite your absence, feeling the warmth of your memory.
Ooh, ooh
Repeating vocalizations, possibly expressing emotions or contemplation.
Ooh, ooh
-Ooh, ooh
-Ooh
