Brother
Matt Corby ♪ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sleep now under my skin
Make sure you’ll try to
Conjure the wind
And ease my mind
Ooh ooh ooh
Somebody call out to your brother
He’s calling out your name
Ooh ooh ooh
Hiding under the covers
With no one else to blame
Ooh ooh ooh
You couldn’t help out your own neighbor
You couldn’t tell it to his face
You were fucked up by the blame
You cower in the corner
Confide in your father
Let it out and say
Let it pass away
Sleep now under my skin
Make sure you try to
Conjure the wind
And ease my mind
And I said
Ooh ooh ooh
Somebody call out to your brother
He’s calling out your name
Ooh ooh ooh
Hiding under the covers
With no one else to blame
Ooh ooh ooh
You couldn’t help out your own neighbor
You couldn’t tell it to his face
You were fucked up by the blame
You cower in the corner
Confide in your father
Let it out and say
You cower in the corner
Confide in your father
Let it break your day
Let it out and say
Wait there
Pull yourself out of this state dear
Acknowledge you were a fake here
From there on you might just grow
Oh oh oh
Somebody call out to your brother
He’s calling out your name
Ooh ooh ooh
Hiding under the covers
With no one else to blame
Ooh ooh ooh
Oh, you couldn’t help out your own neighbor
You couldn’t tell it to his face
You were fucked up by the blame
"BROTHER" by Matt Corby is about the conflict within ourselves when we are too afraid to confront situations up front, resulting in the regret and guilt that follows. The lyrics "Somebody call out to your brother, he's calling out your name, hiding under the covers, with no one else to blame" implies the idea of the inner voice that calls out to a person to take action to make things right, but they hide from it, trying to protect themselves from any blame. The constant use of "oh" and "ooh" throughout the song creates a sense of urgency and anxiety, highlighting the emotions that come with the struggle of confronting difficult situations.
The line, "Let it break your day, let it out and say" is a call to action to confront the situation, to let it out, and to express oneself, highlighting the possibility of being able to grow and move beyond the situation if one takes accountability. The lyric, "Acknowledge you were a fake here, from there on, you might just grow" is a suggestion to consider how we behave in certain situations, and an encouragement to analyse and learn from our mistakes for personal growth and healing.

Im here a few years later to rewatch it sooo here are some time stamps for anyone who sees this in the future:
14:05 Jake slams the elevator door closed
32:30 elevator door is open
14:35 Jake slams piano shut
34:32 listen closely after the door is closed...piano
34:45 Piano is open
19:12 Jake leans on piano for a bit (probably nothing but still)
28:16 something on Jake’s face (looks like a glare)
37:49 Tv is off
38:13 TV is on
48:38 Jake takes a quick nap
50:53 watch Jake the moment Sam says “one”
(His head moves up but it’s in parts)
51:14 his eyes look like they’re glowing red
51:18 the moment Jake snaps his head back, the candles blow out (but not really out)
....not them asking for a sign and the moment they get one, blaming it on something else 💀✋
Anyways yeah those are big parts that all lead back to Jake. thank you the end
