Joel On Other Planets

From what I can tell, the "Pray for love on other plants," must be in the song to illuminate our general failure to value love. We betray it for personal gain, we allow it to wither rather than put forth the effort need to facilitate its growth, or we fail to be the people we should be for our lived ones (i.e. a drug abusing older brother). If love is something unique to our world, the way we take it for granted is sickening.

Just my interpretation though

its about his younger brother, joel.

just to say, his brother [max's] is one of the raddest people. really nice kid.

I get that it's about his little brother, but what's with the "pray for love on other planets" bit?

Obviously it is about his little brother.

But I think the rest of the song is talking about how we are ruining our planet, maybe? About how one day we are going to have to try and colonize other planets because "this ones going down." Sounds kind of sci-fi but i think it makes sense.

it's about the thought that we're the only people anywhere in this entire universe who have love.

just imagine that this world, is the only world that gives us these unimaginable feelings of love, and how we're destroying humanity and what will we do once we've screwed up everything else?

he's basically saying, he hopes something out there has these same emotions because it's too great of an emotion to not have.

So its about his brother, and how we are ruining the planet? how about he is concerned about the world that his little brother will grow up in?

I think it has more to do with what midnightfox is saying. what sheslikeohsoemo is saying seems to literal.
