Brother
The Chain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Not afraid to paint my sky
With some who say I've lost my mind
Brother try and hope to find
You were always so far away
I know that pain
So don't you run away like you used to do
Roses in a vase of white
Bloodied by the thorns beside the leaves
That fall because my hand is pulling them hard as I can
You were always so far away
I know that pain
And I won't run away like I used to do
Pictures in a box at home
Yellowing and green with mold
So I can barely see your face
Wonder how that color taste
You were always so far away
I know the way
So don't you run away like you used to do
Like you used to do
The Chain's song "Brother" is a hauntingly beautiful track with emotional lyrics that seem to speak to the pain and longing of missing someone who is far away. The first line of the song, "Frozen in the place I hide," can be taken metaphorically, as if the singer is hiding from something in their own mind, or it could be more literal, as if they are frozen in a physical location or situation. The next line, "Not afraid to paint my sky," seems to suggest that the singer is willing to take risks and be bold, even in the face of adversity or criticism from others.
The third line, "With some who say I've lost my mind," hints at the possibility that the singer is fighting against forces that are trying to silence or undermine them. Yet, the fourth line, "Brother try and hope to find," shows that the singer is not alone in this struggle, and that they have someone else out there who understands and supports them.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the distance between two people who are very close but still so far apart, "You were always so far away, I know that pain, so don't you run away like you used to do." The following verses bring in themes of loss, regret, and nostalgia, as the singer talks about "pictures in a box at home" and "yellowing and green with mold," and wonders "how that color taste." Overall, "Brother" is a powerful song that speaks to the human experience of separation and yearning for connection.
