Brother: A Tale of Bonded Resilience
Lyrics
Brother, will you let me in?
Expression of a plea or request for admission or inclusion.
Brother, will you lend a hand?
Seeking assistance or support from the brother.
Lately I been living in
Describing a recent experience of dwelling in a metaphorical place of darkness or difficulty.
The shadowlands
Referring to a challenging or troubled period in life.
And I know that we been out of touch
Acknowledging a lack of recent communication and connection.
Maybe we don't talk as much
Suggesting a decrease in the frequency of conversations.
Brother, I been living rough
Revealing a tough or harsh existence recently.
And I'm so messed up
Expressing a state of emotional and psychological distress.
Brother, please remind me what it means to be alive
Requesting a reminder of the essence and significance of living.
Brother, stand beside me when the tide begins to rise
Asking for support and companionship during challenging times.
Brother, will you help me find the strength to carry on --- ?
Seeking assistance in finding the strength to persevere.
Tell me that you never stopped singing our song ---
Desiring reassurance that the shared history and connection are still cherished.
Remember feeling half-crazed?
Recalling a time of feeling partially insane or overwhelmed.
Teenage tearaways
Reflecting on the rebellious and adventurous nature of teenage years.
Wild in our glory days
Nostalgic reference to the exuberance and excitement of past days.
Oh, the trouble that we raised
Acknowledging the mischief and challenges faced during youth.
You 'n I, we were thick as thieves
Describing a close bond or camaraderie with the brother.
Trying so hard to break free
Recalling efforts to break free from constraints or norms.
Hanging on to our belief
Clutching to shared beliefs and values during difficult times.
By the skin of our teeth
Surviving challenges narrowly or with minimal margin.
Brother, please remind me what it means to be alive
Reiteration of the plea for a reminder of the meaning of life.
Brother, stand beside me when the tide begins to rise
Request for support during times of adversity.
Brother, will you help me find the strength to carry on --- ?
Seeking strength and encouragement to persevere.
Tell me that you never stopped singing our song ---
Expressing a desire for confirmation that the shared history is not forgotten.
And when all our brighter days finally all fade away
Anticipating the fading of brighter days and acknowledging the inevitable end of the journey.
At the end of the road, when it's time to come home - I'll be there
Commitment to being present for the brother when it's time to return home.
'cause I remember our song, and all that it was built on
Recollection of the essence of a shared song and its foundational elements.
I remember our song
Reaffirmation of the remembrance of a significant shared song.
So if ever we meet again
Speculation about a potential future meeting in a symbolic or dreamlike setting.
On the fields of Elysium
Referencing a mythical or idyllic location where a meeting might occur.
In a dream of Hyperion
Connecting the meeting to a dream involving Hyperion, a mythical figure associated with light.
Where we linger on
Envisioning a lingering connection or reunion in a dreamlike state.
Everything's gon' work out fine
Expressing optimism that things will eventually improve.
When I meet you down the line
Anticipating a positive reunion when paths cross again.
Like brothers, you 'n I 'till the end of time
Affirming a lasting brotherly bond until the end of time.
Like brothers, you 'n I 'till the end of time
Reiteration of the enduring and timeless nature of the brotherly connection.
