Brothers
Ola Svensson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Like a shelter in the storm, I'll keep you warm
Know that you always can count on me
When everything fails, I'll be the wind in your sails
Know that you always can count on me

With you I am strong
I feel ten feet tall
If things go wrong you're there to break my fall

It's not our colours
It's not our race
That makes us brothers
No matter what we might face
It's not our last name, not the blood in our veins
That makes us brothers
The love we share makes us the same

Like the ground you walk on so solid and strong
Know that you always can count on me
Anything that you need, even the air that I breathe
Know that you always can count on me

With you I am strong
I feel ten feet tall
If things go wrong you're there to break my fall

It's not our colours
It's not our race
That makes us brothers
No matter what we might face
It's not our last name, not the blood in our veins
That makes us brothers
The love we share makes us the same

I want you to know, in my eyes you're heroes
And I can't imagine a life without
And if tomorrow never comes, I'll thank you for today

It's not our colours
It's not our race
That makes us brothers
No matter what we might face
It's not our last name, not the blood in our veins
That makes us brothers
The love we share makes us the same

It's not our colours
It's not our race
That makes us brothers
No matter what we might face
It's not our last name, not the blood in our veins




That makes us brothers
The love we share makes us the same

Overall Meaning

The song "Brothers" by Ola Svensson is a powerful and moving tribute to the strength of brotherly love and the unbreakable bond that it creates. The opening lines of the song, "Like a shelter in the storm, I'll keep you warm", suggest that the singer is a comforting and protective presence in the lives of those he loves. He goes on to emphasize the point that his brothers can always count on him, no matter what they face.


The chorus of the song repeats the powerful message that it is not our external characteristics such as our race or last name that make us brothers, but rather the love that we share. The line "It's not our colours, It's not our race" is particularly poignant, as it highlights the fact that so often these external differences are used to create divisions and separate people.


The final verse of the song is particularly touching, as the singer expresses his gratitude and admiration for his brothers, calling them heroes and reminding them of the importance of cherishing each day that they have together.

I remember in like 2009 I think? I was obsessed with Zac Efron and was watching picture videos of him, and on one of the videos they played this song in the background. I was young and thought it was Zac, but I found out it was some guy named Ola Svensson. But yeah, I really loved this song and years later in 2013 I found listened to this song again, and now I even saw his newer song All Over the World! He's very talented and even though he isn't American and not very popular he is still one of my favorite singers!
