Dream Brother

Jeff Buckley

Transposer:

E (x4) There is a child sleeping near his twin The pictures go wild in a rush of wind That dark angel he is shuffling in Watching over them with his black feather wings unfurled E (x2) The love you lost with her skin so fair Is free with the wind in her butterscotch hair Her green eyes blew goodbyes With her head in her hands And your kiss on the lips of another Dream Brother with your tears scattered round the world Don't be like the one who made me so old Don't be like the one who left behind his name Cause they're waiting for you like I waited for mine And nobody ever came... (x8) (2x) Don't be like the one who made me so old Don't be like the one who left behind his name Cause they're waiting for you like I waited for mine And nobody ever came... Don't be like the one who made me so old Don't be like the one who left behind his name Cause they're waiting for you like I waited for mine And nobody ever came Nobody ever came... (x4) I feel afraid and I call your name I love your voice and your dance insane I hear your words and I know your pain With your head in your hands and her kiss on the lips of another Your eyes to the ground and the world spinning round forever Asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over

La chanson évoque une profonde mélancolie et une quête de rédemption à travers le regard d’un frère rêveur. On y ressent la perte d’un amour, la douleur de l’absence et le poids des choix passés qui pèsent sur lui. Le narrateur évoque un enfant qui dort paisiblement, symbolisant peut-être l’innocence perdue, tout en étant surveillé par une figure sombre qui semble représenter les regrets et les ombres du passé. Le contexte semble mêler des thèmes de nostalgie et de désespoir, où l’on attend en vain un retour ou une reconnaissance. Cette attente, pour le narrateur, soulève des questions sur l’identité et la solitude, et se confronte à la honte d’avoir laissé derrière quelque chose d’essentiel. Les références à la mer et au mouvement suggèrent un flux inexorable du temps, rappelant à chacun que les souvenirs sont à la fois doux et amers.
