Silly Boy
Brother Love Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A foolish mystic wannabe
You know everything and nothing at all
And we're so tired and waiting for your fall
Silly Boy - No-one Else can save you now
Silly Boy - ‘Cause the world is cold and you're getting older
And you can't control anything at all.
You might not make it and it scares you to the core
You can't admit that you're never gonna be a star
Charming man thought you could rule the world
Kiss the lonely Crowd - Bare your soul
The devil comes to call
Now the devil wants it all
Silly Boy - No-one Else can save you now
Silly Boy - ‘Cause the world is cold and you're getting older
Silly Boy - You've lost it all - You're so afraid to Fall
Pretty Musical Interlude
Doesn't matter what you're going through
I guess no-one is as good as you
And you always play the innocent
But no-one's really innocent
Silly Boy
Silly Boy! - No-one Else can save you now
Silly Boy!! - ‘Cause the world is cold and you're getting older
Silly Boy!!! - And you can't control anything at all.
And you've lost it all - You're so afraid!
Silly Boy - You can't control anything at all
You're so afraid to fall
The lyrics of "Silly Boy" by Brother Love speak of someone who believes they are special and know everything, but the world is not what they think it is. The song describes this person as a "foolish mystic wannabe" who cannot control anything that happens to them. They are waiting for their fall because they see themselves as being above everyone else, and the world is not kind to people who believe that they're above it. It talks about this person's fear of failure, and how they cannot admit that they may never achieve the star status they crave.
The song's lyrics also mention how the devil comes to call and wants it all. The devil in this context may be interpreted as the personification of negative influences, such as greed, lust, or pride. The song builds to a crescendo, where the repetitive chorus reminds the listener that no one else can save this person now, as they are getting older and have lost it all. They are afraid to fall and have no control over anything in their life.
The song's message is a cautionary tale, warning those who think that they are special to be careful of their thoughts and attitudes. It teaches us that no one is above the world's unpredictability, and to be humble and aware of our limitations. We need to realise that we cannot control everything in our lives and that no one is perfect; we all have flaws.
