Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let me down
Brother let me down, slow
Let me down
Walk alone, talk alone, disembody
Down the road, the long road, disembody
Ain't no fool, nobody's fool
Ride alone while I go to disembody
Brother let me down
Brother let me down
Brother let me down
Brother let me down
Brother let me down
Let me down
Brother let me down
Let me down
Brother don't let me down
Let me down
Let me down
Walk alone, talk alone, disembody
Down the road, the long road, disembody
Ain't no fool, nobody's fool
Disembody
Ride alone while I go to disembody
The lyrics of "Brother" by Delv!s speak to the need for companionship and support, while also recognizing the power of individuality and independence. The singer pleads with his brother not to let him down, but also asks to be let down slowly. The repetition of this phrase emphasizes the importance of trust and reliability in relationships, while the desire for a slow letdown shows sensitivity towards potential hurt or disappointment.
The rest of the lyrics explore the theme of disembodying, or existing as an individual entity separate from others. The singer describes walking and talking alone, and being nobody's fool. This suggests a desire for independence and self-sufficiency, but also acknowledges the potential loneliness that can come with it. However, the singer also recognizes the necessity of "riding alone" in order to fully embrace and embody oneself.
Overall, "Brother" is a complex exploration of the tension between dependence and independence, and the need for both in a fulfilling life.

Lyrics:
Brother let me down
My brother let me down
There's something inside your head
Looking down the road
A paranoid road
There's something entitled to
Treat you like a fool
But you're nobody's fool
Brother let me down
My brother let me down (x2)
There's something inside your head
Going through the roof
But you're not waterproof
Parental advisory
Mother disapprove
My brother make a move
Brother let me down
My brother let me down (x2)
Walk alone
Talk alone
Disembodied
Down the road
The low road
Disembodied
Be no fool
Nobody's fool
Disembodied
Brother who will i go to
Disembodied
My brother let me down
Brother let me down (x6)
