I agree with both Bayoustorm and Prisz25. I too can't believe hardly anyone has posted about this song!
Anyway, I think Bayou hit the nail on the head with this one. It's about realizing you've backed yourself up against a wall in your life, having not listened to all the advice you were given and not knowing exactly how to get out of the rut. He talks of being blind, clearly indicating that he refused to see or listen to those who warned him and he went and did something anyway that he doesn't know how to get himself out of. It's almost like he's asking his brother for help out of the mess with the line "Be my brother".
This song is about needing guidance when you feel you're going nowhere and how people tend to turn a blind eye when they don't want to believe what they know to be true. If this song were referring to relationships, I would say the quote "Love is Blind" would apply. When people want something so badly, they will not see the truth even when its right in front of them. I think that's what "I threw a brick" is about. :earning from your mistakes and knowing when and how to ask for guidance.
