Brother
Brothers Of Santa Claus Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm too young to tell you anything
Why don't you run away?
All the dreams you left behind to
wear shoes that want to stay.
I know your're trying hard to find out
What life is about
Don't you have to change your point of
view to find it out

Oh I lost you for a moment
When I lost you for right now
And I will find out, oh I will find out that I know you
But there is so much more to say

I'll be to young to tell you anything
Why don't you fly away?
All the good ideas behind you
And wings of what you hate

I now you're trying hard to find out
What life is about
Don't you have to change your point of
View to find it out

Oh I lost you for a moment
When I lost you for right now
And I will find out, oh I will find out that I know you
But there is so much more to say

You are what you feel you are x4
What you feel you are.

Oh I lost you for a moment
When I lost you for right now

And I will find out, oh I will find out that I know you
But there is so much more to say

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Brother" by Brothers Of Santa Claus are a reflection of a person looking up to an older brother figure who seems to be struggling with finding meaning in life. The singer feels too young to have any answers but encourages the older brother to run away from the constraints that seem to be holding him back. The older brother is admonished for leaving behind his dreams to conform to society's expectations, represented by shoes that "want to stay." The singer recognizes the older brother's struggle to find his purpose, but suggests that he needs to change his perspective to find the answers he seeks.

The repeated lines, "Oh I lost you for a moment, when I lost you for right now, and I will find out, oh I will find out that I know you, but there is so much more to say," further convey the singer's sense of loss and the older brother's elusive nature. The chorus, "You are what you feel you are," emphasizes the importance of following one's own instincts and emotions rather than conforming to societal expectations. Overall, the lyrics speak to the universal struggle of finding one's place in the world and staying true to oneself despite external pressures.
