Brother of the Mayor of Bridgewater Lyrics
I've seen you in my face as I've aged.
You beautiful fuck up, so casually brave.
It made me less lonely, it helped me.
The conventions that broke your nose
I find quaint. I look for you in crowds now that I don't know where you are,
as I'm pilled to the gills,
prowling through bars.
You are missed, missed,
missed as the men of The Bismarck.
I hope you know that you are.
Let us now speak of brave men
who lived their lives just as they would have it.
I would give my last dollar away
just to hang out with you one more day.
We've got a country between us and our age.
We've got a different set of vices but all
the rage. It made me less lonely, and it
helped me when conventions that broke your nose hit me. Can't pretend to know
how you had it, the past's prejudices are just that.
I want you to know that it mattered
that you walked the walk and talked the talk. You talked the talk and fought the...

goose bumbs every time
You beautiful fuck up, so casually brave. i love this band
I feel like it would be almost inappropriate to actually interpret World/Inferno songs, ya know? Too much thinking. What this song means to me is that it was their first song that I memorized and they played it when i saw them and I flipped out.
I disagree. I think it would more disrespectful to the band to listen to the songs without actually hearing what they're saying.

This song seems to be about someone the singer idolized as a youth. Not necessarily a perfect person, but someone who represented what the singer wanted to be. As the singer matured, he became more like his idol. However, the singer has his own causes and motivations, although his perspective and methods have been somewhat shaped by the idol. In his maturity, the idol is either no longer alive or no longer held on the pedestal he once...

I understand what Idsaysgo is saying. I still disagree, but it is equally important to know what the song means to you and what its true meaning(as in what the writer intended it to be) is. And I think KingInYellow hit the fucking bullseye on the meaning of this song.

This is such a beautiful song, I don't know exactly who it was written about originally, but whenever I hear it I think about Hunter S. Thompson. "you beautiful fuckup, so casually brave" fits so perfectly.
the great thing is how it can kinda fit for whoever anyone looks up to and considers unnaturally brave.
I think there's an error -- He doesn't say "less lonely and it helped me," He says " It made me less lonely and inhumane," Or at least that's how i heard it.
I think the opening line of the chorus may be a variant on Ecclesiasticus ("let us now praise famous men") but there's probably some other cultural reference there I don't get.
