| Jeff Buckley – Dream Brother Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Guys.. This song was written for a friend who wanted to run away from his responsibilties (and pregnant ex-girlfriend) - ''Green eyes bloom goodbyes. With her head in her hands and your kiss (already) on the lips of another.'' He was saying to his fellow performer that he admires him very much and understands how he feels about the situation--- '' I love your voice and you dance insane. I feel your words and I know your pain'' But he knows what it feels to be an abandoned child so he gives his friend the advice to not be like his father (Tim Buckley)who walked away from a child because of a relationship gone bad. In the end, the children are the ones who suffer... --- 'Don't be like the one who made me so old. Dont be like the one who left behind his name'' (Tim Buckley left Jeff only a name for everyone to compare him to, even though he did not know him) . ''Cause they're waiting for you'' (The children you leave behind), ''Like I've waited for mine (his father) ''And nobody ever came''.. ''Your eyes to the ground with the world spinning round forever. sleep in the sand with the ocean washing over'' -might describe how confusion and despair a child must feel when abandoned. Maybe that was directly from his experience. It must also express the battle and eternal guilt one faces in himself when he feels compelled (or has) to walk away from a child. |
