Neon Brother Lyrics
If you open my chest, see that two hearts are beating
Fallen out of sync
There's the one I accept and the one I believe in
Which one drew you in?
In the night, in the night
This is how it goes
We are all or nothing
It's alright, it's alright
Listen to your bones
Can you hear it coming?
Do you see something real or just some kind of mirror?
Staring back at you
It's a punch and a kiss and I'm trying to remember
Which one is the truth?
In the night, in the night
Where we feel at home
With the wires humming
In the night, in the night
We are not alone
Can you hear it coming?
I heard my brother crying out
I heard my brother crying out
From the beginning we were in rhythm
I heard my brother crying out
Well we'll build something new and we'll do it together
Wake up from our sleep
It'll kick like mule and it won't live forever
That's alright with me
In the night, in the night
Where we feel at home
With the wires humming
It's alright, it's alright
We are not alone
Can you hear it coming?
I heard my brother crying out
I heard my brother crying out
From the beginning we were in rhythm
I heard my brother crying out
From the beginning we were in rhythm
I heard my brother crying out
If you open my chest, see that two hearts are beating
They both beat so slow
I heard my brother crying out
I heard my brother crying out
I heard my brother crying out
I heard my brother crying out
Fallen out of sync
There's the one I accept and the one I believe in
Which one drew you in?
This is how it goes
We are all or nothing
It's alright, it's alright
Listen to your bones
Can you hear it coming?
Staring back at you
It's a punch and a kiss and I'm trying to remember
Which one is the truth?
Where we feel at home
With the wires humming
In the night, in the night
We are not alone
Can you hear it coming?
I heard my brother crying out
From the beginning we were in rhythm
I heard my brother crying out
Wake up from our sleep
It'll kick like mule and it won't live forever
That's alright with me
Where we feel at home
With the wires humming
It's alright, it's alright
We are not alone
Can you hear it coming?
I heard my brother crying out
From the beginning we were in rhythm
I heard my brother crying out
I heard my brother crying out
They both beat so slow
I heard my brother crying out
I heard my brother crying out
I heard my brother crying out

I've read a few other people analyze these lyrics and there seems to be an emerging agreement on what these lyrics probably mean:
The 'brothers' are love and truth, or the logical mind serving as a ground in contrast to empathic love.
"If you open my chest you see that two chests are beating, falling out of sync. There's the one I accept and the one I believe in. Which one drew you in?"
This leads me to believe the singer is actually talking about two different sides of his own psyche, or his personally held beliefs. It also hints that he is harboring complex feelings of love towards someone else but he doesn't know if he can trust them. "There's a punch and a kiss and I'm trying to remember."
It's definitely a song about passion. It's a song about the contrast between two ideas that someone wants to believe in, and the pain that comes from knowing that the ideas might contrast each other.
