- Dream Brother LyricsThere 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
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...
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
Nobody ever came
Nobody ever...
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
Asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over
Asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over
Ah do you meet the one I love
and smell the one who loves you
Dream brother, dream brother, dream, dream
dream asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over
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
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...
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 left behind his name
'Cause they're waiting for you like I waited for mine
Nobody ever came
Nobody ever...
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
Asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over
Asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over
Ah do you meet the one I love
and smell the one who loves you
Dream brother, dream brother, dream, dream
dream asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over
Facts about Dream Brother

✔️
When we try to understand the message behind it, Jeff Buckley’s 'Dream Brother' is a song full of the complex reaches of human emotions and experiences such as loss, longing, and time passing. The dark angel imagery in the lyrics, watching over people, conveys the feeling of somebody being abandoned and out of waiting for a person who never comes. 'Don’t be like the one who made me so old' is the refrain sung over and over that expresses a strong desire to steer clear of the past's errors and the hurt caused by hope that is not fulfilled, thereby reinforcing the already strong sense of a period in someone’s life when they were left behind and their desire to connect that has not been met. Buckley’s 'Dream Brother' lauds and mourns at the same time quite a lot the subjects of heartbreak, love, despair, angst and contemplation. The opposite sides are loss and longing, regret and caution, and connection and empathy, which the song beautifully intertwines through its lyrics. The song very clearly portrays the themes of love, loss, and emotional pain, which might not be recommended for very young kids. There are no direct mentions of violence, sex, or drug use; however, the emotional depth and complexity of the themes might lead to the same conclusion of the need for parental guidance as in the case of the explicit content.
