Brother
Löv Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't wanna talk
There was something you said that I don't wanna hear
I don't wanna hear
But I'm a fighter
So I'm trying to hold on, trying to hold on
To our memories
Don't ask for my love
Don't ask for forgiveness
Cause it's too late my brother
Don't ask for my love
Don't ask for forgiveness
Cause it's too late my brother
Don't ask for my love
Don't ask for my love
Don't ask for my love
Do you know that you're guilty of this scenery
Of this scenery
I didn't get any sleep, but that was ordinary
That was ordinary
Guess I was frightened
But I tried to be the one
And be stronger
But your mind was never home
Don't ask for my love
Don't ask for forgiveness
Cause it's too late my brother
Don't ask for my love
Don't ask for forgiveness
Cause it's too late my brother
Don't ask for my love
Don't ask for my love
Don't ask for my love
Don't ask for forgiveness
Cause it's too late my brother
Don't ask for my love
Don't ask for forgiveness
Cause it's too late my brother
Cause it's too late my brother
it's too late my brother
Don't ask for my love
Don't ask for forgiveness
Cause it's too late my brother
Don't ask for my love
Don't ask for forgiveness
Cause it's too late my brother
Don't ask for my love
Don't ask for my love
Don't ask for my love
The lyrics of Löv's song "Brother" are about a strained relationship between two siblings. The singer is clearly hurt by something that their brother said or did, and doesn't want to talk about it or hear any explanations. They are struggling to hold onto memories of happier times, but are feeling weak and vulnerable. The singer is frustrated with their brother, who is guilty of causing the current situation. They have tried to be strong and understanding, but the brother's "mind was never home."
The repeated refrain of "Don't ask for my love, don't ask for forgiveness, 'cause it's too late my brother" is an admission that the damage has been done and there is no going back. The singer is no longer willing to offer love or forgiveness to their brother, despite their familial bond. The use of the word "brother" throughout the song emphasizes the closeness of the relationship, and suggests that the betrayal or hurt caused by the brother is particularly painful.
Overall, the lyrics of "Brother" convey a sense of loss and disappointment, as well as a reluctance to let go of the past. The singer is trying to come to terms with their feelings towards their brother, but is ultimately resigned to the fact that the relationship has been irreparably damaged.
