Little Brother Lyrics
Why are you thinking again, little brother
When you know there's a story for every wrong
Well I won't be around in the morning
Can only pray there's no harm in me moving on
To the trials in your unknown
Now there's a legion of wolves in the forest
And what might have been lost it is there I know
With the crazy old names, loved and honored
I feel useless when I have to face alone
All the trials in my unknown
If you could just walk on by
With signs just flying around
And if this storm was just emotion
Of your kid just trying out
If you could only lose these miles
Now there's a terrible light on the shading
Where you drew your insanities on a wall
Well I can see where the dark hits the sun
I said I believe you forever, but you still don't
It's a trial for all that grows
If you could just walk on by
With signs just flying around
And if this storm was just emotion
Of your kid just trying out
If you could only lose these miles
Why are you drinking again, little brother
When your rambling's the hard part of loving you
You say the creek and the fogs wanna drown you
But there are deeper wells we'll be going to
There's no drowning this unknown
If you could just walk on by
With signs just flying around
And if this storm was just emotion
Of your kid just trying out
If you could only lose these miles
And when your memory's lost on a hillside
And a wind takes you further and forward now
And your world is a kite in the weather
Gently tied to your hand that is pointing out
There's a sky in this unknown
And if you could just walk on by
With signs just flying around
And if this storm was just emotion
Of your kid just trying out
If you could only lose these miles
When you know there's a story for every wrong
Well I won't be around in the morning
Can only pray there's no harm in me moving on
To the trials in your unknown
And what might have been lost it is there I know
With the crazy old names, loved and honored
I feel useless when I have to face alone
All the trials in my unknown
With signs just flying around
And if this storm was just emotion
Of your kid just trying out
If you could only lose these miles
Where you drew your insanities on a wall
Well I can see where the dark hits the sun
I said I believe you forever, but you still don't
It's a trial for all that grows
With signs just flying around
And if this storm was just emotion
Of your kid just trying out
If you could only lose these miles
When your rambling's the hard part of loving you
You say the creek and the fogs wanna drown you
But there are deeper wells we'll be going to
There's no drowning this unknown
With signs just flying around
And if this storm was just emotion
Of your kid just trying out
If you could only lose these miles
And a wind takes you further and forward now
And your world is a kite in the weather
Gently tied to your hand that is pointing out
There's a sky in this unknown
With signs just flying around
And if this storm was just emotion
Of your kid just trying out
If you could only lose these miles

I saw in an interview where they asked Kristian if he had a little brother and he answered, "No..... but I am a little brother."
Food for thought.
Few mistakes in above lyrics, correct below with one unknown sentence:
Why are you thinking again little brother When you know there's a story for every wrong Well I won't be around in the morning Can only pray there's no harm in me moving on To the trials in your unknown
Now there's a legion of wolves in the forest And what might have been lost it is there I know Where the crazy (old names loving ??) I'll feel useless when I have to face alone All the trials in my unknown
If you could just walk on by With signs just flying around And if this storm was just emotion Of your kid just trying out If you could only lose these miles
Now there's a terrible light on the shading Where you threw your insanity's sum upon Well I can see where the dark hits the summer I said I believe you forever but you said don't It's a trial for all that grows
If you could just walk on by With signs just flying around And if this storm was just emotion Of your kid just trying out If you could only lose these miles
Why are you drinking again little brother When your ramblings the hard part of loving you You say the creek and the fogs wanna drown you But there are deeper wells where we're going to There's no drowning this unknown
If you could just walk on by With signs just flying around And if this storm was just emotion Of your kid just trying out If you could only lose these miles
And when your memory's lost on a hillside And a wind takes you further and forward now And your world is a kite in the weather Gently tied to your hand that is pointing out There's a sky in this unknown
If you could just walk on by With signs just flying around And if this storm was just emotion Of your kid just trying out If you could only lose these lies
"I said I believe you but you SAID DONE" not "..but you sit down"
"I said I believe you forever but you SAID DONE" not "..but you sit down"

I like how in this song "an older" insinuates "another" which is genuine and true. It's about not having patience enough to guide someone (a child, mainly) through their fantasies and realizing it is better to leave than stay when you realize the child will never become a man. The illustration paints the portrait of a man who never grows up and how though we wish to transcend those boundaries, we know we never will and must leave him to his own world where he will learn that the kite can fly much farther if we can let it go with the hand that grasps the string so tight and to open it for the one who wants to hold it instead.
And about a man who never grows up. Like peter pan in never never land. I like how never is double entendre (or however that word is spelled).

Of course.
Oh. Major, major mistake here as I did not mention that the child is more so metaphor for the narrator seeing the man as a child. Obviously children are never left and exiled...it's a hurtful jab to the subject meaning that "I'm sorry, I can no longer hold your hand and baby step you" for you must do it yourself.
