Every part of this song is heart-breaking and beautiful. I think the entire meaning of this song can be taken from the song itself: "Just hope that age does not erase all that you've seen."
This song is an older brother talking to his younger brother and pleading him to never grow up. 'Adulthood' is sometimes best characterized by feeling stuck in everyday, mundane routines that consume your life and your mind. Your passions fade and your hope diminishes.
In childhood, we are filled with hope for the future because we're naive. I think this naiveness though is where the beauty of innocence and youth comes from and people so easily lose it because of the efforts of growing up.
As long as we retain our childish hopes and dreams, all else will be fine.
It also seems that the speaker in this song is somewhere in the inbetween - as if he was growing up and fine and they it hit him that he lost his hope and looks back to his little brother and warns him, begs him, pleads him to never lose hope. When you lose hope, you lose who you truly are.
This song is about the beauty of youth. Reminds me of Le Petit Prince.
Brilliant.
