Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where are you now?
Little brother
can i help somehow?
You heart is hard
careless beyond your years
Your eyes are dry
Give me your hand
Together will come your fears
Little brother
I'm here
Little brother
What are sells you?
Little brother
Oh what can i do?
I know you feel
a stranger in a stranger land
i know you think
no one can understand
but i can try
concluds give me you hand
Please let it come
Don't you know, Don't you know feel alright
Put your hand on my shoulder and hang on time
Little brother
Little brother
Little brother
Once you want small
Little brother
I have seen it all
And in my arms
i watched your some come
and if you grooved
i watched your heart goes now
You're not alone
so call me and i will come
Little Brother
I love You
Put your hand on my shoulder and hang on time
Don't you know, Don't you know feel alright
Put your hand on my shoulder and hang on time
The lyrics of "Little Brother" by Blue Pearl are those of a comforting, supportive elder sibling encouraging their younger brother to open up to them. The song speaks of the younger brother's distance and isolation that comes with growing up, but the older sibling reassures them that they are there for them, no matter what. The song's opening line is a plea for the younger brother to reach out, and the chorus repeats the refrain to put their trust and hand in the elder sibling's hands, as they will help them through any difficulties they might have.
The lyrics also touch on the idea of growing up and leaving behind the safety and comfort of childhood. The younger brother seems to be struggling with growing up and making his way in the world, and the older sibling tries to offer wisdom and encouragement. The song acknowledges that the journey can be difficult, but there is always someone there to lend a hand, to reassure that the younger brother is not alone, that there is always hope, and that everything will be okay.
Overall, "Little Brother" is a beautiful ballad of reassuring love that brothers can have for one another, and it highlights the importance of offering support and love for those who might be struggling.
