Cover art for Poison Oak lyrics by Bright Eyes

"The end of paralysis, I was a statue at" - wouldn't that make more sense than statuette?? that's not even a word. Just a thought...I think it's about someone that committed suicide and I don't think it's his brother. I think "your brother's tears" would mean someone else's not his own.

No, it wouldn't make more sense, since "statuette" is a perfectly cromulent word. A statuette is a small statue that you could have in e.g. your home. It makes perfect sense that he felt like he was a statuette, being paralyzed.
