BroThers to GhosTs! Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1 (FabvL)]
The singer feels burdened by darkness and struggles he can’t escape from. He carries the weight of his battles silently, hiding his pain. He realizes too late that someone close to him was also suffering, but he was too focused on his own struggles to notice. Now, the chains that once held him back are broken, but it seems like the damage has already been done.

[Chorus (FabvL)]
The chorus expresses feelings of betrayal and manipulation. The singer is tired of being deceived but still struggles to let go of the past. The imagery of thorns haunting the rose suggests that painful memories continue to linger. The mention of fate being twisted and a “hurricane of purple haze” symbolizes confusion and chaos. The once strong bond between brothers has turned into nothing, leaving only ghosts of what they used to be.

[Verse 2 (DizzyEight)]
This verse reflects on a deep friendship that has fallen apart. The singer remembers when they were inseparable, like family, but now that bond is just a shadow of what it once was. He sees their fallout as the death of their relationship, almost like a funeral. While he believes he was standing up for himself and making a necessary change, the other person sees it as betrayal. He tried to make sense of everything but realized that the damage was too great to ignore. The past and present are both filled with pain, and what he once saw turned him into someone hardened by experience. The last line suggests that all the conflict and deception led to a disaster, turning a once-close friendship into something unrecognizable.

[Chorus (FabvL)]
Reiterating the theme of deception, the chorus shows how the singer is still haunted by the lies and manipulation. He struggles with the idea that his memories and emotions might be erased, yet he keeps reliving the pain. The imagery of a dying star and a storm suggests that their friendship’s downfall was both powerful and inevitable. The transformation from being like brothers to being nothing more than ghosts highlights the deep sense of loss.

[Breakdown (FabvL)]
This section explodes with anger and frustration. The singer feels like the other person refuses to acknowledge that they are more alike than they realize. He sees them as weak, pretending to be different, but ultimately the same. The line about “feeding the worms” suggests that when the end comes, the other person will have to face the consequences of their actions alone. The singer reflects on his past, growing up in darkness and not needing light to survive. He tried to help others, but they followed deceitful people instead. Now, he’s done trying—he’s cutting ties and letting those who can’t see the truth follow their own path, even if it leads them astray.

[Chorus (FabvL)]
Again, the chorus reinforces the emotions of betrayal, loss, and the haunting pain of what was once a strong bond. The lies and manipulation have left a permanent mark, making it impossible to forget. The transition from being close like brothers to becoming ghosts of each other’s past is now complete, with no hope of returning to what once was.
