Brother In The Morning Light
Golden Youth Lyrics

The lyrics to Golden Youth's song Brother in the Morning Light seem to be addressing a brother who has either gone missing or lost his way in life. The singer seems somewhat betrayed and lost, wondering if the brother sold them out or lost himself in the world. The line "Lost in you, I normally sing my lungs out" suggests that the singer has been singing and hoping for the brother's return. The line "We were simply paintings on the wall, brushed by the colors to show just where our arms fall" suggests that the singer feels they were just passively existing as a family, with their place in the world already predetermined.

The chorus of the song seems to be a cry for answers and direction. The line "Does mother know where you go at night?" suggests that the singer is worried for their brother's safety and well-being. The repeated phrase "We all want to know where to go, lost in the sound, far from the ground" highlights a feeling of disorientation and confusion. The use of the phrase "lost in the sound" is interesting because it can be interpreted as both a literal sense of being lost in sound, as well as being lost in life and unsure of where to turn.

Overall, Brother in the Morning Light seems to be a heartfelt plea for answers and direction in the face of a lost family member, with a sense of confusion and loss permeating throughout the lyrics.
